5.7. Ball “breaks during a rally”

After consultation with ITTF Athletes Commission, Rules Committee, ETTU Athletes Commission and coaches during events, following procedures should be followed:

If a player hits the ball (e.g. with the edge) of the racket and the umpire can´t see whether the ball is broken (e.g. two halves), he/she has to wait whether the return is good.

If the return is good, but it is obvious that the ball is damaged, the umpire has to call a “LET”. Otherwise, the umpire has to decide the rally as a point. After the rally a player cannot claim that the ball was broken in the previous rally.
