Table Tennis is the world most popular racket
sport. It is an indoor sports and sometimes it is called ping-pong. As you can see from the name, it looks like
a miniature version of tennis. But the rules are somewhat different. You can
play either 1-to-1 or 2-to-2, i.e. single and double. Play starts from
service of one player. The service should bounce once on the server's side
and another bounce in receiver's side. Other than the service the ball you
hit cannot touch your side of table. Game ends when one of players reaches to
11 points or over 11 points and 2 points more than the opponent. NTU table tennis
team came in 3rd runner up in the Inter Statutory Board Games (ISBG)
