Ping Pong Rules

Table tennis is one of the most popular table games around, and as in all games there are ping pong rules.. It is played with paddles, a ball and with at least two players. Ping pong rules for how the game is played: one player hits the ball over the net, onto the table where it bounces towards the other the player, the other ping pong player hits it back in the same fashion.


Some basic ping pong rules are: A player gets a point when it is their serve, and the opposing player either misses hitting the ball, hits the ball with their body, places their inactive hand on the table, hits the ball twice, or if they hit the ball out of bounds.


A player wins the game if they achieve a score of 11, and have a 2 point lead. If they do not lead by 2 points, that game continues until a player is leading by 2 points. These are just some of the very basic ping pong rules, for more information consult an official rule book.
