Table Tennis Rules (change bets during the game, is that okay?)

 


By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living



Table tennis is a sport that is equipped with a bat to play it. Various types and characters of bets, depending on the taste and suitability of the players who use them, both wood and rubber.

The rubber on the bat is distinguished by color on each side because it usually produces two different hitting results.

Even though it's not obvious, one side of the bet has more power, which can throw the ball more forcefully towards the opponent.

Before the match starts, the referee will check the player's bet first, and then between players are welcome to see the bet used by the opponent. If one of the players has objections to the opponent's bet, usually the referee will discuss with the Match Instructor to decide whether the bet can be used or not.

Each committee/EO in a tournament has different rules of the game or policies, there is no standardization of ITTF rules by all EOs, be it tools (bets) or class classification of players.

Changing bets while the game is in progress, is that okay?

Checking the bet by the referee and between players looking at the opponent's bet is intended so that the table tennis player does not suspect which side will hit with which side when playing, speed or power.

Therefore if a player changes bets in the middle of a game, it is certainly not allowed. Determine the bet of our choice before the start of the game, not the game as a place for testing the use of bets / rubber. Even if the player's bet is damaged and cannot be used again during the game, the player can be declared a TKO lose (hahaha...).

But all of that returns to the policies and discretion of the committee/EO. Because grassroots tournaments/hobbyists are usually happy.



Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
