Table tennis, also known as Ping pong (a trademarked name), is one of the most popular games in the world in terms of player numbers, as well as being one of the newest of the major sports.
Play is fast and demands possibly the quickest reactions of any sport. A skilled player can impart spin to the ball which makes its bounce difficult to predict or return with confidence. The winner is usually the first to score 11 points, a change which occurred in 2001 when the International Rules were changed, although the 21 point game is still widely played at recreational level. All games played in U.S. national
(sanctioned by USATT) and international tournaments (ITTF) are played to 11 points in either a best of five (5) games (preliminaries) or best of seven (7) games format (championship matches).
Competitive table tennis is popular in Europe and Asia and has been gaining attention slowly in the United States. While China continues to dominate recent world titles, Croatia, Sweden, Germany, France, Korea, and Taiwan also produced many world-class players. Skilled players exhibit extraordinarily swift reaction times, footwork and body control. There are competitions in table tennis variants: "Hardbat", in which all competitors use a paddle with small pips-out rubber (sponge is not allowed); and "Large ball", where a 44mm ball is used to decrease the speed.
