Jarring |

Jarring, sliding, or lifting of the table while the ball is in play is illegal. Whether or not the table jarring is done intentionally is of no consequence. It is not necessary for a player to lose the ball for jarring to be called on his opponent. Jars are accumulated for the entire match. |

Jarring of the table after a point has been scored or when the ball is not in play may be judged unsportsmanlike behavior. Slamming the rod after a shot while the ball is still in play may be considered a jar. |
