subject: Table Tennis Makes A Come Back [print this page] Table Tennis is still popular after all these years. Forget tennis. Forget badminton.

Table tennis is a sport, and is played in competitions around the world. In fact, there are more than 300 million members of table tennis organizations world wide.
The governing body for the sport is the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), which was founded in 1926, and since 1988, the game has been an Olympic sport.

- Men's Singles
- Women's Doubles
- Men's Doubles
Table tennis, or ping pong as it is also referred to as, is a sport that can be played by two or four players. It is played on a table with a net dividing it in the middle. The typical measurements for a table tennis table is nine feet long by five feet wide by 30 inches tall. Players must get the ball to their opponent, and only one bounce is allowed per pass. If the ball bounces more than once, or leaves the table, the opponent will score the point. If the player's shot is a good one and their opponent misses, then the player gets the point.
