Playing the Game

- Play-after the bounce on your side, hit the ball back to your opponent’s side and bounce on the table. If you hit before the ball bounces, you lose a point.
- If the ball doesn’t land on the other end because it goes out of bounds, you lose a point.
- Fall on the net- if the ball is hit to the net and doesn’t land on the other end, you lose a point
