TT serves

§                     Allowing the ball to bounce on one's own side twice

§                     Double hitting the ball. Note that the hand below the wrist is considered part of the racket and making a good return off one's hand or fingers on the racket-holding hand is allowed, but hitting one's hand or fingers and subsequently hitting the racket is a double strike and an error.

§                     Allowing the ball to strike anything other than the racket (see above for definition of the racket)

§                     Causing the ball not to bounce on the opponent's half (i.e., not making a "good" return)

§                     Placing one's free hand on the playing surface or moving the playing surface

§                     Offering and failing to make a good serve (i.e., making a service toss and failing to strike the ball fairly into play)

§                     Making an illegal serve: (e.g., one preceded by a player's hiding the ball or his failing to toss the ball at least 16 centimetres (six inches) in the air).

§                     Hitting the net with racket or any body part.

§                     By volleying the ball (not allowing the ball to bounce on your side)
