Dimensions

All table tennis tables from Sponeta correspond to the international tournament dimension:

length: 274 cm
width: 152,5 cm
height: 76 cm

when they are in the playing position (completely opened). The dimensions in the parking position (completely folded) can vary. It depends on the model.

Doubles

In doubles two players each play against each other, either in men’s, women’s or mixed doubles.

The same basic rules apply as for singles with following special features:

The serve in doubles is played diagonally.

The ball must be served diagonally to the left so from the right side of the table to the right side of the opposite table side.

During the rally the players have to play the ball alternately – in contrast to tennis.
