In table tennis, there are typically two players on a team, one player per team on either side of the table. However, there are also variations of the game that can be played with more than two players, such as doubles where there are two players on each side of the table.
Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a popular indoor sport played on a table divided by a net. The game is played with a small, lightweight ball and wooden or composite rackets called paddles. The objective of the game is to hit the ball back and forth over the net, trying to land it on the opponent's side of the table in a way that is difficult for them to return. A point is scored when the opponent is unable to return the ball, or when they hit it out of bounds. In international competition, table tennis matches are typically played in a best-of-five games format. Each game is played to 11 points, and a player must win by a two-point margin. In terms of team play, table tennis is typically played with two players on each side, but it can also be played with teams of three or four players.
