General Regulations in playing Table Tennis:

• The purpose of the game is to hit the ball over the net with a racket or paddle held in one hand. Before striking the top of the table on the opponent's court, the ball must strike on the player's side of the court.

• It is not permitted to strike the ball before it has bounced. Anyone who makes a mistake loses a point, while your opponent gains one.

• A game is to a maximum of 11 points. With a margin of at least two points, the pair or a person with the higher points wins. Usually, a match consists of the best three of five games.
