You play to 11. Only during the serve may you hit your side of the table, it must bounce twice, once on your side, once of their side. Afterwards, you must send the ball back to their table after it hits yours by the other player.

As long as the ball hits the other players table its in.

If your playing doubles you alternate hits and serve forehand diagonal, same points to 11.

Only the server scores points in Table Tennis. The way to score points is either by hitting a shot that your opponent cannot return or having your opponent hit the ball into the net or if your opponent's return does not touch your side of the table. You also get the point if the ball touches any part of your opponents body.

"Only the server scores points in table tennis."

Not sure where you got this, but according to ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) rules, that is not one of them. These are competition rules used in both ITTF and Olympic competition.

How are table tennis and tennis alike and different?

table tennis is obviously played on a table and tennis is not. they have some of the same rules, but tennis has tramlines, so, in other words, table tennis' court doesnt change from doubles and singles and the singles does. also the scoring is different. table tennis is frist to 21 points and tennis it is first to 6 games. they are alike as they are both played with a raquet and a ball that you can hit before the bounce or after the bounce but 2 bounces and you have lost the point. they both use points in scoring but differently. both great games to play and good for fitness

When did the winning score in table tennis change from 21 to 11?

From 1926 until 2001 a table tennis game was played up to 21 points. But in order to make the game more exciting, have more "crucial" points, and to make it more appealing to television viewers, the rules of table tennis were changed with effect from September 2001. A game of table tennis is now played up to 11 points. The winner is the player or pair who first scores 11 points, unless both players or pairs score 10 points (called deuce). Then a game will be won by the first player or pair to gain a two point lead..
