RULES

ITTF Rules Handbook
Basement Rules (fun)
- Games to 11 points, must win by 2 points. Matches best 3 0f 5. No skunks (7-0). Hide ball with hands under table to decide who serves first. Do not `ping` for serve. Each player alternately serves 2 balls at a time until end of game or score reaches 10-10. At 10-10 (a `deuce` game), alternate serves every point until one player is two points ahead. To serve, toss the ball up at least 6 inches vertically and strike the ball as it descends. The ball and racket must be behind the end line and above table level while serving. The serve must bounce first on the server's side, cross over the net without touching it, and land anywhere on the other side of table. If the serve hits the net and lands on the opposite side (a `net` serve), serve over until you make a good serve. A point begins as soon as the server tosses up the ball. A return (not a serve) striking the net and landing on the opposite side of the table is good. You lose a point if you touch the table with your free hand, move the table, or touch the net or the net posts during a rally. A return that touches the top edge of the table is good, but a return that touches the side of the table is not good. Switch ends of the table after each game and at 5 in the deciding game of a match. The player who received first in a game shall serve first in the next game of a match. Call a `let` and play the point over if both players cannot agree on a call.
- Do not walk into or otherwise disturb the playing area around a table while a point is being played.
