Appendix to Laws

KNOTTY POINTS

(Decisions of the Rules Committee of the International TableTennis Federation)

1. Edge BallsThe phrase "table surface" is to be interpreted as including the

top edges and corners of the table top, and a ball in pJay whichstrikes these latter is therefore good and stm in play; though ifit strikes evidently the side of the table top below the edge, itbecomes dead and counts against the last striker.

Z. Ball Returned with Empty HandIf a player drop his racket, he cannot return the ban with empty

hand. (See definition, "the racket hand is the hand carn'ing theracket".) .

3. Racket Thrown at Ball

If in returning the ball the racket leave the pJayer's hand, it is agood return only if it were still in his hand at the moment of

(54)

contact with the ball (see Law 11, "a ball ... shall be struck"),and if it do not touch the net or move the table surface ILaw 13 (c),'(d)] before the ball is out of play.

4. Missed Service

If a pla~-..:[, in attempting to serve, miss the ball altogether, it isa lost point (Laws 10 and 15), because the ball was in play fromthe moment it left the server's hand, and a good service has not beenmade of the ball alread)" in play.

5. Volleyed Net Service

A net service is a let not ,mly if otherwise good but also if itbe volleyed by the striker-out. [See Laws 12 (a) and 14 (b).]

6. "Flat Hand" in Service: InterpretationUmpires will remem!Jer that Law 10 is not intended to impose

.on the server an exact geometrical pattern, but to prevent attemptsto secure advantage by either evasion of the rule or general carelessdisregard. The free hand must not turn over or move sideways.

Strict observation of the prescribed method of service may bewaived where the umpire is notified, before play begins. thatcompliance by the player in question is prevented by physicaldisability

7. Ball Fractured in Play

If the ball split or become otherwise fractured in play, afJectinR aplayer's return, the rest is a let ILaw 12 (c)]. It is the umpire'sduty to stop play, recordmg a let, when he has reason to believethat the ball in play is fractured or imperfect; and to decide thosecases in which the faultv ball is clearly fractured in actually goingout of play. and in no way handicaps the player's return, \vhen thepoint should be scored. In all cases of doubt, however, he shoulc1declar~ a Jet.

8. Fixtures

A moving spectator, a neighbouring player, a sudden noise, i.e.,any neighbourmg object ill movement except a partner should beregarded as an accident not under control [Law 12 (c)], interference from which implies a let. A stationary spectator, fixedseating, the umpire, the light, a nearby table, a continuous sound ofeven volume, i.e., any relatively constant or motionless hazard, shouldnot be so regarded, and complaint against interference from it duringplay should be regarded as void.
