Led by representatives of Germany, Hungary, and England, the Fédération Internationale de Tennis de Table ( International Table Tennis Federation) was founded in 1926, the founding members being England, Sweden, Hungary, India, Denmark, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Wales. The original association had broken up about 1905, though apparently the game continued to be played in parts of England outside London and by the 1920s was being played in many countries. The name table tennis was adopted in 1921–22 when the old Ping-Pong Association formed in 1902 was revived. The game was invented in England in the early days of the 20th century and was originally called Ping-Pong, a trade name. In most countries it is very highly organized as a competitive sport, especially in Europe and Asia, particularly in China and Japan. The lightweight hollow ball is propelled back and forth across the net by small rackets (bats, or paddles) held by the players. The object is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and bounces on the opponent’s half of the table in such a way that the opponent cannot reach it or return it correctly. Table tennis, also called (trademark) Ping-Pong, ball game similar in principle to lawn tennis and played on a flat table divided into two equal courts by a net fixed across its width at the middle.
