Definition: In table tennis, a point is won when a rally finishes, and no let has occurred. The player who wins the point has one point added to his score.

Ways to win a point include if the opponent fails to make a good return, if the opponent fails to make a good service, if the opponent touches the net assembly during a rally, or if opponent hits the ball twice in a row.
