OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Dear Fellow Forumers,

You must be aware that as being a member of human socium, every single individual have to obey by many laws and regulations that cannot be broken with impunity. Such as
☛ Driving at the red light
☛ Smoking in the elevator cabin
☛ Ladge-calibre gunnery inside the house
☛ Urination past the toilet bowl
and so on.

And in this too, the Rules of Table Tennis, Part 2 rightly belong to the scope of Sacred Testament, or somewhat. These rules are binding anywhere on the territory of the RUSSIAN FEDERATION, and you can not slight any point of these rules. All the Paragraphs must be observed to a dot.
For example, once entered a registered event you shall none play
-- on tables with truncated legs,
--with a lowered net
-- with a green ball.
Who feel any sceptical of my afore notes, he could try for a green ball and he shall be captured and driven to a loony-house directly from the event.

Here now, according to a new ITTF edition of the Rules part 2, I shall give a solemn proclaim here in full voice that to play the game with the unduly thick racket coverings is strictly prohibited for every competition, all around the World. And the Referee on duty ought to have a statutory THICKNESS gauge for making precision measurements on the rubbers.

☎ In order to empower our fellow-umpires worldwide, we have started a production enterprise with the involvement of foreign capital, and we now prepared to produce digital thickness gauges at an affordable price much cheaper than the Chinese analogue.
No one is allowed to urinate past the toilet, and, likewise, none of players is exempted from using standard equipment at competitions —no one absolutely.

Mr. Igor,
I am not sure how the average, run of the mill player should answer this post. I don't boost. I play with rubber I buy. I hope the manufacturers have the right thickness. I sure do not measure it or worry about my opponents. Professional players, sure. Average Joes? I kinda don't think so.

Dang. Now I want some.
