Finally – Many people who visit Pop in & Play who played table tennis when they were younger often ask questions about the changes in the game on in the rules. – Here’s a reminder of some key changes in recent times. 1. Prior to 2001 table tennis was played up to 21 points with service changing every 5 points and then it changed to 11 in 2001 with service changing every 2 points. If both players (or both pairs in doubles) score 10 points, then the game is won by the first player (or pair) who wins by 2 points. 2. The size of the table tennis ball changed from 38mm to 40mm in 2000 for the first time since 1937 to slow the game down and for viewers watching on TV. 3. In 2002 the ITTF changed the rules on service to prevent a player from hiding the ball during service. 4. Then in 2014/2015 balls were changed from celluloid to plastic.
