Rules on where you can stand to receive

jammmail · Feb 7, 2019

I was playing in a league match last night and in the doubles one of the opposite team (when his team was receiving usually) stood past the end of the table on their lefthand side so seemed really close to me when i was serving from the right quarter

We won pretty easily so didn't matter but didn't know if there were any rules around where you stand? As a leftie most people think i get in the way in doubles anyway

You can stand wherever you want

No rules where they can stand.

You can literally stand on the table and it's fine

But you have to be quick, because you are not allowed to touch the table during play, aren't you? (Was irritating to me at first seeing FZD putting his blade *on* the table before play).

Only with your non bat hand I think. Anything else is fine as long as the table does not move. If it does you lose point.

2.10 A POINT
2.10.1 Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point:

2.10.1.9 if an opponent, or anything an opponent wears or carries, moves the
playing surface;

2.10.1.11 if an opponent's free hand touches the playing surface;

Other than that, no rule about where one stands

You may sit, lay, or jump on the table, provided you don't move it, but only After the point is initiated, i.e. you may stay anywhere round the table till the opponent execute the serve, but you may jump on the table only after.

p.s. anyway I think you are not allowed to shit on the table, may be.

I'm chuckling to myself imagining someone in doubles running past the opponent on the other side about to receive serve. Surely that can't be allowed

Obstruction or warning for taking the piece
