The second impact becomes more complicated, but possible you need to be more careful about your knowledge of the initial states, and more precision is called for. If you know a set of basic parameters concerning the ball at rest, can compute the resistance of the table (quite elementary), and can gauge the strength of the impact, then it is rather easy to predict what would happen at the first hit. “I use the example as computed by the mathematician Michael Berry.
