flammable plastic made in
sheets from camphor and
nitrocellulose, formerly used for

to an end.

the umpire/scorer) to hide the ball
in one or the other hand, usually
hidden under the table, allowing the
other player to guess which hand the
ball is in.

gives the "winner" the option to
choose to serve, receive, or to
choose which side of the table
to use

the ball commences a play.

on the ball's descent so that it touches
first his court and then touches directly
the receiver's court without touching the

above the upper surface of the table, known
as the playing surface, at all times during the
service.
 The server cannot use his/her body or
clothing to obstruct sight of the ball; the
opponent and the umpire must have a clear
view of the ball at all times.
 If the service is "good", then the receiver
must make a "good" return by hitting the ball
back before it bounces a second time on
receiver's side of the table so that the ball
passes the net and touches the opponent's
court, either directly or after touching the
net assembly.

make a return until the rally is over.
