There is a lot of buzz on the international Table Tennis forums about the proposed new rules.

How about this?
The loser of the previous point gets a chance to serve, even if the opponent has not served twice!
So, if this rule is approved, there will no longer be 2 serves per player and one each after 10-10.

Let us know your opinion on this.

There is also a controversy and outrage over a proposed increase of the size of the ball further. Thankfully, it is just around a milimeter more. Another proposal under serious consideration is to remove the seam of the ball and ban celluloid.

Ping pong ball size to increase?

In an interview during the Harmony China Open Table Tennis tournament, the ITTF President, Adham Sharara made some interesting comments:

• The ball will now be celluloid free and will be seam-free.
• The ball size is likely to be increased. To 44mm?
• Sharara is keen to have the World Championships 2015 at Suzhou.
