Clear Vision Rule for Table Tennis Serves

This new rule ensures the ball is visible to the receiver at all times during a serve, eliminating any chance of deception. The aim is to promote fairness, reduce umpire subjectivity, and enhance the sport's reputation. It specifies that the server's free arm must be out of the way and creates clear areas and spaces for optimal visibility. This rule was established at the 2002 AGM in Zagreb, Croatia.
