net

By Greg Letts, About.com

Definition: In table tennis, the net (or net assembly) is made up of the net, its suspension and the supporting posts, including the clamps attaching the posts to the table.

If a player, or anything he wears or carries, touches the net during a rally, he automatically loses the point.
