Triples Ping Pong is contested by two teams of three around a circular table. The unusual designed table and specially constructed nets are the foundations of a game which can be fast and fierce.

Popularity
The triples (3-a-side) version of table tennis was invented in New Zealand in 1979. Until recently Triples Ping Pong was only played in Australia as a serious sports addition to traditional table Tennis.

Description
Triples ping pong takes on the traditional game of Table Tennis and converts it into a simpler more social and fun variation, allowing players a far greater range of shot direction, exciting angles and
longer spectacular rallies.
Service is always from the centre, served clockwise from left to right, with 2 serves to each player.
- Each server has 6 serves, then the ball changes ends.
- You can only hit 2 shots in a row, after service.
