In table tennis, a "let" refers to a situation where a play is considered invalid and is replayed. Besides the situations mentioned above, here are some additional details and types of "let":

• Net Let During Rally: Although less common, if the ball hits the net during a rally (not during service) and then continues over the net to the opponent's side in a legal manner, and the opponent is able to make a return, the play continues as normal. However, if the ball hits the net during a rally and then falls on the player's own side of the table or fails to go over the net properly, it is considered a let if the player was unable to make a reasonable attempt to return the ball. This is to account for situations where the net interfered with the normal course of the rally in an unexpected way.
• Umpire's Discretion Let: The umpire has the authority to call a let in other situations where they determine that the fairness or normal progress of the game has been affected. For example, if there is a sudden noise or distraction that clearly affects a player's concentration during a point, the umpire may call a let. Or if there is some ambiguity or dispute about whether a ball was in or out, and the umpire believes that it is impossible to make a fair determination based on the available evidence, they may call a let and have the point replayed.

In all cases of a let, the current point is not counted, and the players simply repeat the serve or the rally, depending on when the let occurred. This helps to maintain the integrity and fairness of the game and allows play to continue smoothly despite unexpected events or minor rule infractions that do not merit a point being awarded to either side.
