What happens if the ball in table tennis hits the out of bounds area of the net and goes over?

Answer 1

If the ball hit you before it bounced then it is the other person's point because it technically never landed outside of the court. However, if it bounced, then you called it out, and then it hit you, it is your point because you called it out.

Answer 2

Regulation rules say that if it was going out and the ball passes the far line, the ball is dead. So, if it hits your racket after it has gone past it, the ball was already dead, much like if you are returning a ball to someone and it hits on your side first, it's not a deal where "well oh, it scored a point after it hit my side, so it cancels out, or I get the point."

Answer 3

It depends. If it hits the net when you serve, it's called a let. If it hits the net (when you're not serving) and goes on the other side, the rally still goes on. But if it hits the net and bounces back to your side, it's your opponent's point.

Answer 4

If the ball has already passed over the playing surface and it's obviously not going to hit the table, it doesn't matter. The player who is hit still wins the point.

But if a player hits/volleys/touches the ball whilst it's still travelling over or towards the playing surface he would lose the point.

Answer 5

If a player touches the table with his non-playing hand it is a point to the other player.

Answer 6

It counts as your point.
