You get two chances to serve per point. If you hit the ball out or into the net ther first time, you get one more chance, and if you do it again the second time, you lose the point. Also it should be noted that if the ball hits the net and goes in, the serve is replayed; this is called a let.

The official rules of table tennis state that you have two serves, and then your opponent has two serves. However, if the score reaches 10-10, each player has only one serve each until the game is won by two clear points. So if you happen to be serving last at game/match point ... all the better!

What is net in tennis?

'Net' is a term referring only to serves in tennis. If your ball hits the net on a serve and still lands within the correct service box, your opponent calls 'net', which means you are allowed to take your serve over. This applies to both first or second serves. If you continuously get 'net's, you would basically be serving for forever. However, if your serve hits the net and bounces anywhere outside of the correct service box, it is considered out. Once again, 'net' is only called during serves. During the actual rally, the net plays no real role. If it hits the net and goes in, it's in. If it hits the net and goes out, it's out.
