Two or four players use table tennis rackets to strike a light ball back and forth in the game of table tennis, often known as ping-pong. A net divides the hard table on which the game is played. To make the ball bounce onto the other player’s side of the table, the ball is typically made of celluloid and smacked with the racket. Players score a point anytime their opponent fails to return the ball in accordance with the rules. The game is played to 21 points.
