- volley inside your field (over the table) is a point for your opponent (and outside/past the table - for you)
- ball hits the net in rally and lands normally - rally continues
- ball hits the net on the serve and lands normally (let serve) - serve is repeated (as many times as needed)
- ball lands on the table or hits the edge - IN
- ball hits side of the table - OUT
- missing the ball on the serve or catching it - point lost (after throwing the ball up, it's in play)
- touching the table with your free hand is not allowed, although
- touching with your elbow or leaning on it is allowed, as long as you don't move the table
- size of the bat is not restricted, hence, you are allowed to play with any

doubles:
- hitting the ball in turns (out of turn results in a point loss)
- serving is always done from your right hand box diagonally to your opponents right hand box (never from left)
- teammates swap positions only after their serve period is finished (and not after the opponent's serve)
