Table tennis at the highest level
 * Table Tennis **

**Week 3; August Monday 8 - Friday 13 ** **Week 6; August Monday 29 Table Tennis ** . **Week 7; September Monday 5 ** In this week i start do some researching my topic my topic is about table tennis. Table tennis also known as ping pong is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth using table tennis rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent's options to great advantage.Table tennis is controlled by the worldwide organization International Table Tennis Federation, founded in 1926. International Table Tennis Federation currently includes 215 member associations. The table tennis official rules are specified in the Table Tennis Federation handbook. In 1988 people who first time start play table tennis, table tennis has been an Olympic sport, with several event categories. In particular, from 1988 until 2004, these were: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and women's doubles. Since 2008 the doubles have been replaced by the team events. **Week 8; September Thursday 15 ** ‍On this week I have research the ball equipment and table and rackets. The international rules specify that the game is played with a light 2.7 gram, 40 mm diameter ball. The rules say that the ball shall bounce up 24–26 cm when dropped from a height of 30.5 cm on to a standard steel block thereby having a coefficient of restitution of 0.89 to 0.92. The 40 mm ball was introduced after the 2000 Olympic Games However, this created some controversy as the Chinese National Team argued that this was merely to give non-Chinese players a better chance of winning since the new type of balls has a slower speed, while at that time most Chinese players were playing with fast attack and smashes. A 40 mm table tennis ball is slower and spins less than the original 38 mm (1.5 inch) one. The ball is made of a high-bouncing air-filled celluloid or similar plastics material, colour white or orange, with a matte finish. The choice of ball colour is made according to the table colour and its surroundings. For example, a white ball is easier to see on a green or blue table than it is on a gray table. Stars on the ball indicate the quality of the ball. Three stars indicate that it is of the highest quality, and is used in official competition.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Diagram of a table tennis table showing the unofficial dimensionsThe table is 2.74 m (9 ft) long, 1.525 m (5 ft) wide, and 76 cm (30 inch) high with a Masonite (a type of hardboard) or similarly manufactured timber, layered with a smooth, low-friction coating. The table or playing surface is divided into two halves by a 15.25 cm (6 inch) high net. An ITTF approved table surface must be in a green or blue colour.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 18px;">Racket **A ping pong is used by players in the game of table tennis. The paddle is usually made from laminated wood covered with rubber on one or two sides depending on the grip of the player. In the USA, the term "paddle" is common, whereas in Europe the term is "paddle," and the official International Table Tennis Federation term is "paddle."

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">On this week I had do some reaching about scoring. A point is scored by the player for any of several results of the rally: **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Opponent fails to make a correct service or return.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">After making a service or a return, the ball touches anything other than the net assembly before being struck by the opponent.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The ball passes over the player's court or beyond his end line without touching his court, after being struck by the opponent.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The opponent obstructs the ball.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Match has not ended, any unused penalty points can be transferred to the next game of that match.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">A game shall be won by the player first scoring 11 points unless both players score 10 points, when the game shall be won by the first player subsequently gaining a lead of 2 points. A match shall consist of the best of any odd number of games. In competition play, matches are typically best of five or seven games.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">**Week 1 on that week i resarch table tennis history.**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 24px;">Term 4 **

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">On this week I have did some research about Table Tennis history, The game originated as a sport in Britain during the 1880s, where it was played among the upper-class as an after-dinner then commonly known as //"wiff - waff"//. A row of books were to be stood up along the centre of the table as a net, two more books served as rackets and were used to continuously hit a golf-ball from one end of the table to the other. Later, table tennis was played with paddles made of cigar box lids and balls made of champagne corks. The popularity of the game led game manufacturers to sell the equipment commercially. Early rackets were often pieces of parchment stretched upon a frame, and the sound generated in play gave the game its first nicknames of //"wiff- waff"// and //"ping -pong"//. A number of sources indicate that the game was first brought to the attention of Hamley's of Regent Street under the name "Gossima ". The name "ping- pong" was in wide use before British manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked it in 1901. The name "ping- pong" then came to be used for the game played by the rather expensive Jaquesses equipment, with other manufacturers calling it table tennis. A similar situation arose in the United States, where Jaques sold the rights to the "ping- pong" name to Parker Brothers.The next major innovation was by James Gibb, a British enthusiast of table tennis, who discovered novelty celluloid balls on a trip to the US in 1901 and found them to be ideal for the game. This was followed by E.C. Goode who, in 1901, invented the modern version of the racket by fixing a sheet of pimpled, or stippled, rubber to the wooden blade. Table tennis was growing in popularity by 1901 to the extent that table tennis tournaments were being organized, books on table tennis were being written, and an unofficial world championship was held in 1902. During the early 1900s, the game was banned in Russia because the rulers at the time believed that playing the game had an adverse effect on players' eyesight.In 1921, the Table Tennis Association was founded in Britain, and the International Table Tennis Federation followed in 1926. London hosted the first official World Championships in 1926. In 1933, the United States Table Tennis Association, now called USA Table Tennis, was formed.In the 1950s, rackets that used a rubber sheet combined with an underlying sponge layer changed the game dramatically, introducing greater spin and speed. These were introduced to Britain by sports goods manufacturer S.W. Hancock Ltd. The use of speed glue increased the spin and speed even further, resulting in changes to the equipment to "slow the game down". Table tennis was introduced as an Olympic sport at the Olympics in 1988.After the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, the International Table Tennis Federation instituted several rules changes aimed at making table tennis more viable as a televised spectator sport. First, the older 38 mm balls were officially replaced by 40 mm balls in 2000 this increased the ball's air resistance and effectively slowed down the game. By that time, players had begun increasing the thickness of the fast sponge layer on their rackets, which made the game excessively fast and difficult to watch on television. Second, the ITTF changed from a 21-point to an 11-point scoring system in 2001. This was intended to make games more fast-paced and exciting. The Table Tennis Federation also changed the rules on service to prevent a player from hiding the ball during service, in order to increase the average length of rallies and to reduce the server's advantage.Variants of the sport have recently emerged. "Large-ball" table tennis uses a 44 mm ball, which slows down the game significantly. This has seen some acceptance by players who have a hard time with the extreme spins and speeds of the 40 mm game.There is a move towards reviving the table tennis game that existed prior to the introduction of sponge rubber. "Hard bat" table tennis players reject the speed and spin of reversed sponge rubber, preferring the 1940–60s play style with no sponge and short-pimpled rubber. Defense is less difficult by decreasing the speed and eliminating any meaningful Magnus effect of spin. Because hard bat killer shots are almost impossible to hit against a skilled player, hard bat matches focus on the strategic side of table tennis, requiring skilful manoeuvring of the opponent before an attack can become successful.
