If playing doubles, the serve is rotated between you and your partner, starting with the person on the right, and the ball must bounce first in the right half of your side of the table and then must be delivered cross-court to your opponent's side. If you're playing singles, the server can serve to any point on the opponent's side of the table, and the opponent should then return it.

From behind the endline, the ball should be tossed out of your free hand vertically a minimum of 16 cm (6 in), and then hit with the paddle so that it first hits your side of the table once and then goes over the net and hits your opponent's side. But they must be made of wood and rubber and competition paddles must have two colors (red and black). Small paddles are hard to use successfully and bigger paddles weigh too much and are cumbersome. Ping pong paddles don't have a regulation size, actually.
