Legal serve. When serving, the ball should be placed on the palm of the non-clapping hand, with the palm open and flat. The ball should be stationary, behind the end line of the serving side and above the level of the playing table.

The server must throw the ball almost vertically upwards with his hands, without spinning the ball and causing the ball to rise by not less than 16 centimetres after leaving the palm of the non-clapping hand.

When the ball descends from the highest point of the toss, the server can hit the ball so that the ball first touches the local table, then passes over or around the net device, and then touches the receiving player's table. In doubles, the ball should touch the right half of the server and receiver in succession.

From the moment the ball is served until it is struck, the ball must always be above the level of the playing table and outside the end line of the server; And from the receiving side, the ball cannot be blocked by the body of the serving player or his doubles companion or by anything they are wearing (carrying).

As soon as the ball is thrown, the server's non-racket arm should be removed from the space between the ball and the net. The space between the ball and the net is defined by the ball and the net and their upward extension.

When a player serves, it is his responsibility to let the referee or sub-referee see whether he is serving in accordance with the rules of legal serving.

If the referee doubts the correctness of a serveer's serve, and neither he nor the assistant referee is convinced that the serve is illegal, the referee may warn the server for the first time in a match and not award a score.

In the same match, if the correctness of the player's serve is again in doubt, whether or not for the same reason, no more warning is awarded and a point is lost.

Whether it is the first time or at any time, if the server clearly does not serve in accordance with the rules of the legal serve, he will be awarded a point and no warning will be required.

If a player is unable to strictly comply with certain rules for legal serving due to a physical injury, the referee may decide to exempt him/her, provided that the referee explains it to the referee before the match.

Fight back legally. After the opponent serves or returns, the player must hit the ball so that the ball passes directly over or around the net device, or touches the net device and then touches the opponent's table.

Order of play. In singles, the server serves the ball legally, then the receiver returns the ball legally, and then the two alternate legally.

In doubles, the server serves first, then the receiver responds legally, then the server's partner responds legally, and then the receiver's partner responds legally, and then the player takes turns to fight back legally.
