Good fun this one. But I have a question about table tennis rules. In this game you are able to hit your own side of the table and bounce the ball more than once, and the shot is allowed and the rally continues. I always assumed you have to cross the net? I've looked at TT rules but can't find anything specific saying this is / isn't allowed.

If you aren't playing a game and only doing the warm up free play against the AI, then, as long as the ball bounces on it's side of the table, anything goes, it will try to return the ball to you. You can let it hop as many times as you want before returning it, or you can just hold it in your hand and smash it over the net if you want.
However, When you start an actual game, either against another player or the AI, normal tennis table rules apply. You are only allowed to bounce the ball on your side of the table when you are serving.
Ok, issue solved. The point does get given if you bounce on your own side, but the AI continues to play the point. I wasn't noticing I had lost the point and just carried on with the rally. You'd think the AI would stop play, as I didn't realise.
The points display being off to the right makes it harder to notice the score, would be good if there was an option to have the points flash up or be visible in the sight line.

In traditional table tennis, hitting the ball on your own side of the table is not allowed, and the ball must cross the net and land on the opponent's side of the table to be considered a legal shot.
However, as you mentioned, Eleven Table Tennis is a virtual reality game that may have slightly different rules. I'm not sure if hitting the ball on your own side of the table is explicitly allowed or not, but I do know that the game is designed to simulate a real-life table tennis experience.
