What is the rule when during game play...

1) Your non-paddle hand touches the table?

2) Your paddle hand touches the table?

3) Only your blade hits the table?

4) When both hands touch the table?

5) When your body touches the table? For example when leaning hard for pushes or flips close to the net and your stomach touches the table.

Many thanks in advance for your answers. Smile
Blade: Whatever is close
Rubber Sheet: Whatever still has some grip.

Only your free hand is banned from touching the table, everything else is ok as long as you don't move the table.

Thanks!  Found the USATT and ITTF rules on this and some other interesting things on what rewards a Point.

2.10 A Point

2.10.01 Unless the rally is a let, a player shall
score a point

2.10.01.01 if his opponent fails to make a correct
service;

2.10.01.02 if his opponent fails to make a correct
return;
2.10.01.03

if, after he has made a service or a
return, the ball touches anything other
than the net assembly before being
struck by his opponent;
2.10.01.04

if the ball passes over his court or
beyond his end line without touching
his court, after being struck by his
opponent;

2.10.01.05 if his opponent obstructs the ball;

2.10.01.06 if his opponent strikes the ball twice
successively;

2.10.01.07
if his opponent strikes the ball with a
side of the racket blade whose surface
does not comply with the requirements
of 2.4.3, 2.4.4 and 2.4.5;


2.10.01.08 if his opponent, or anything his
opponent wears or carries, moves the
playing surface;


2.10.01.09 if his opponent, or anything his
opponent wears or carries, touches the
net assembly;


2.10.01.10 if his opponent's free hand touches the
playing surface;

out of the sequence established by the
first server and first receiver;
