How to get a point
There are several ways to score a point. All of them involve your opponent making a mistake. So, basically, you are just witing for your opponent to mess up in order for you to score a point.
You get a point in each of these situations:
1. If your opponent’s serve is bad
2. If you serve and your opponent does not give a good return
3. If your opponent’s ball lands “out” without bouncing (it misses the
table)
4. If your opponent obstructs the ball (stops it with a hand before it
passes the edge of the table)
5. If your opponent hits the ball twice in a row
6. If your opponent (or anything he is wearing or wearing) moves the table
7. If your opponent’s free hand touches the top of the table
