Definition: There are two common usages of the word 'court' in table tennis.
- The table itself, of which each half is commonly known as a court (e.g. the player's court and the opponent's court).
- The playing space around the table, which for ITTF international competitions is rectangular and not less than 14m (15.3 yards) long, 7m (7.66 yards) wide and 5m (5.47 yards) high.
