IM Table Tennis Rule Highlights

• Games will be played in the SAC, lower concourse
  area in.
• Participants have one week to complete matches.
• Scoring will be the best of 3 out of 5 games,
  unless both players agree to play more games.
• Game is to 11points

12
Contd

• Scoring
• A match is played best 3 of 5 games (or 4/7 or
  5/9). For each game, the first player to reach 11
  points wins that game, however a game must be won
  by at least a two point margin.
• A point is scored after each ball is put into
  play (not just when the server wins the point as
  in volleyball).
• The edges of the table are part of the legal
  table surface, but not the sides.

13
Contd

• Flow of the Match
• Each player serves two points in a row and then
  switch server. However, if a score of 10-10 is
  reached in any game, then each server serves only
  one point and then the server is switched. After
  each game, the players switch side of the table.
  In the final game (ie 5th game), the players
  switch side again after either player reaches 5
  points.

14
Contd

• Legal ServiceThe ball must rest on an open hand
  palm. Then it must be tossed up at least 6 inches
  and struck so the ball first bounces on the
  server's side and then the opponent's side.
• If the serve is legal except that it touches the
  net, it is called a let serve. Let serves are not
  scored and are reserved.
• EquipmentThe paddle should have a red and a
  black side. The ball should be either orange or
  white and 40 mm in size
