How Do You Play The Ping Pong Game

Here's a step - by - step guide on how to play ping - pong:

Table: Use a standard ping - pong table that is 2.74 meters long, 1.525 meters wide, and 0.76 meters high. The table is divided into two equal - sized courts by a net that is 15.25 cm high.
Paddles: Each player needs a paddle. Paddles can have different types of rubber on their surfaces, which affect the spin, speed, and control of the ball.
Ball: The ball used in ping - pong is spherical, usually made of plastic, with a diameter of 40 mm.

Service Determination: The game begins with a serve. The players can decide who serves first through methods like a coin - toss or spin of a racket.
Service Rules:
- The server must toss the ball at least 16 cm vertically upwards. The ball should be in the open palm of the free hand and projected from there.
- After the toss, the server hits the ball so that it first bounces on their own side of the table and then, after passing over or around the net, bounces on the opponent's side. If the ball hits the net during service but still lands on the opponent's side, it's a “let” serve, and the server serves again without penalty.

Return Requirement: After the serve, the receiving player must let the ball bounce once on their side of the table before hitting it back. The ball must be returned over or around the net and land on the opponent's side of the table.
Continuous Play: Players then alternate hitting the ball back and forth, each time allowing it to bounce once on their side of the table. If a player fails to return the ball correctly (e.g., the ball goes into the net, bounces out of bounds on the opponent's side, or the player hits the ball before it bounces on their side), the opponent scores a point.

Point Award: A player scores a point when the opponent makes a fault. Faults include incorrect service, failing to return the ball as required, touching the ball with the free hand during play, moving the table during play, or hitting the ball twice in succession.
Game Win: A game is won by the first player to reach 11 points. However, if the score reaches 10 - 10 (deuce), the game continues until one player has a 2 - point lead. For example, the game could end at 12 - 10, 13 - 11, etc.
Match Win: A match is usually a best - of - an - odd - number of games, such as best - of - 3, best - of - 5, or best - of - 7 games. The player who wins the majority of the games in the match is the winner.

Doubles Play: In doubles, the service must start from the right - hand half of the server's court and land in the right - hand half of the receiver's court. Partners take turns hitting the ball in a specific order during the rally.
Let Rules: Besides the let serve, a let can also be called if there is an interference during play, such as a ball from another table entering the playing area. In such cases, the point is replayed..
