Desktop Ping Pong
This desktop ping pong set is a great way to de-stress. Take a break and get into a game!
Ping Pong began as a social hobby in England toward the end of the 1800's. It was renamed 'Table Tennis' in the 1920's.
The sport soon spread to Japan and other Asian nations. China alone dominated the sport for much of the 60's and 70's.
Table Tennis became an Olympic event in the 1980's.
A ping pong game is played best out of 5 games. Toss at least 6 inches in the air and strike so that the ball first bounces on the server's side and then the opponents side.
A point is scored after each ball is put in to play. Each player serves two points then the server is switched.
The first player to reach 11 points wins, however a game must be won by at least a clear two point margin.
