The table tennis serve rules are designed to ensure fairness and consistency in the game. Here are the key aspects:

Vertical Toss: The server must toss the ball vertically upwards, without imparting any spin. The ball must be tossed at least 16 centimeters (6.3 inches) high. This vertical toss gives both players a clear view of the ball's trajectory and the opportunity to anticipate the serve.
Starting Position: The ball must start from a stationary position in the server's open - palm. The hand must be behind the end - line of the table and above the level of the playing surface at the start of the toss.

Service Action: After the toss, the server hits the ball so that it first touches their side of the table and then, passing over or around the net, touches the receiver's side of the table. If the ball touches the net during the serve but still lands on the receiver's side of the table as required, it is a "let" serve. In a "let" serve, the serve is re - done, and no point is awarded.
Allowed Contact Area: The ball must be hit with the racket - covered part of the hand. It is illegal to hit the ball with other parts of the body or with objects other than the racket.

Open - Handed Service: The server's free hand, which holds the ball initially, must be completely clear of the ball's path during the serve. This ensures that the receiver can clearly see the ball's movement from the start of the toss until it is struck by the racket. The server should not use their body, clothing, or any other object to hide the ball during the service motion.

Double - Bounce Rule: If the ball bounces more than once on the server's side of the table before being served, it is a fault, and the receiver scores a point.
Service Alternation: In a game, the serve alternates every two points. However, when the score reaches 10 - 10 (deuce), the serve alternates every point. This rule change at deuce helps to ensure a more decisive end to the game.
