New Table Tennis Rules?

2006 Sep 5

It's been a long time since I last played table tennis, to be specific, eleven years. That was after I graduated from high school. Back then, I was a varsity player of our school. I started in this playing when I was still 14 years old.I became interested because it is played indoors, and it will not darken my skin color.

So, I asked my friend, Annabelle, on how to play table tennis. Then taught me how to hold the racket, how to control my movements and etc... She brought me to their place in Carmen, Cagayan de Oro everyday for that special training and later on I was introduced to many good players of this event. When they found out how interested I am to know, each one of them taught me with the different strokes namely: the backhand, forehand, spin, chop, drive etc. Then I learned!

I was taught about the rules of this game by our school coach. I reserved a special place in my brain in which I can't forget everything I learned about table tennis.

I was surprised when I watched the game during my alma matter intramurals days ago. The scoring system and the service system has changed. What i had learned is that a player should have a score of 21 in order to win or at least more than 2 scores than the other player and each player is entitled to have five services before the service will change. Here are the new rules of table tennis.
