27 CHESHUNT AND DISTRICT TABLE TENNIS LEAGUE Extracts from the ETTA Approved Laws

2.06 THE SERVICE Service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server's stationary free 2.6.1 hand. The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it 2.6.2 rises at least 16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck. As the ball is falling the server shall strike it so that it touches first his court and then, after 2.6.3 passing over or around the net assembly, touches directly the receiver's court; in doubles, the ball shall touch successively the right half court of server and receiver. From the start of service until it is struck, the ball shall be above the level of the playing 2.6.4 surface and behind the server's end line, and it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server or his doubles partner or by anything they wear or carry. As soon as the ball has been projected, the server’s free arm and hand shall be removed from the area between the ball and the net. 2.6.5 Note: The space between the ball and the net is defined by the ball, the net and its indefinite upward extension. It is the responsibility of the player to serve so that the umpire or the assistant umpire can see 2.6.6 that he complies with the requirements for a good service. If either the umpire or the assistant umpire is doubtful of the legality of a service he may, on 2.6.6.1 the first occasion in a match, declare interrupt play and warn the server. Any subsequent service of doubtful legality of that player or his doubles partner will result in a 2.6.6.2 point to the receiver. Whenever there is a clear failure to comply with the requirements for a good service, no 2.6.6.3 warning shall be given and the receiver shall score a point. Exceptionally, the umpire may relax the requirements for a good service where he is satisfied 2.6.7 that compliance is prevented by physical disability.

2.15 THE EXPEDITE SYSTEM Except as provided in 2.15.2, the expedite system shall come into operation after 10 minutes' 2.15.1 play in a game or at any time when requested by both players or pairs. The expedite system shall not be introduced in a game if at least 18 points have been 2.15.2 scored. (i.e. the expedite system cannot be introduced if the score has reached 9-9 or 10-8.) If the ball is in play when the time limit is reached, play shall be interrupted by the umpire and shall resume with service by the player who served in the rally that was interrupted. If the ball 2.15.3 is not in play when the time limit is reached, play shall resume with service by the player who received in the immediately preceding rally. Thereafter, each player shall serve for 1 point in turn until the end of the game and if the 2.15.4 receiving player or pair makes 13 returns the receiver shall score a point. Introduction of the expedite system shall not alter the order of serving and receiving in a 2.15.5 match. 2.15.6 Once introduced, the expedite system shall remain in operation until the end of the match.
