Rules
Service
-
It can be performed with any part of the body except for the arms and hands.
-
Done at a minimum distance of 2 meters from the table.
-
If the ball hits the corner on the serving side and falls on the same side, it's a fault and a point for the opponent. If it hits the corner on the serving side and crosses any part of the table or hits any other corner, it's a "LET" and the serve is repeated (maximum of 2 serves).
Game
-
Minimum of 2 and maximum of 3 touches per team before returning the ball to the table.
-
The same player cannot make 2 consecutive touches.
-
The ball can only have 1 contact with the table, 2 or more is a fault and a point for the opponent.
-
If any player touches the table (attacker or defender), it is considered a fault and a point for the opponent.
-
A point and service are won whenever a team fails to comply with the number of touches, lets the ball hit the ground, or makes the ball hit the table surface more than once.
Movement
-
Except for the service (which must always be performed from each team's side), the game can be played 360 degrees, allowing points to be scored in any direction.
-
Collisions between players from opposing teams should be avoided as much as possible.
-
If they occur intentionally, it's a fault and a point for the opposing team.
-
If they occur casually, the point is replayed.
Table Corners
-
The position of the player making contact with the ball and attacking the table defines one corner as the attacking side and the others (see image).
-
If the ball hits the corner on the attacking side and falls on that same side, it's a fault and a point for the opponent.
-
If the ball hits the corner on the attacking side and crosses any part of the table, exiting through one of the other corners, it's a point.
-
If the ball hits any of the other corners, it's a point.
