What's up with CTTSL anyway, it's supposed to start tomorrow, no? Didn't see any info yet

Because of this

It's definitely Tarnobrzeg's title to lose, i was hoping to see somewhat of a match at least, but Berlin decided to send a u21 squad while criticizing the CL format, sigh. Mainly about this being the first women's Final Four event, while they were relying on home match revenue from semis &...

Kazakhstan's president used to be in charge of their TT association, funding for events has to be it. This Star Contender is happening under the "President's Cup" banner, which has been an existing event there. In the same vein they also announced WTT Champions Astana 2027, buried in the news...

Even though this was an underwhelming final from FZD it doesn't defeat the whole purpose tbh (even strictly from a sporting perspective while ignoring all the extra attention). They have Truls specifically for CL and already won it the past 3 seasons, so if anything you could say this is where...

Final Four weekend is here Semifinal 1: 🇩🇪 1. FC Saarbrücken TT vs 🇵🇱 KS Orlen Bogoria Grodzisk Mazowiecki Bogoria who made it through an all Polish quarterfinal are the big underdogs in this Final Four Semifinal 2: 🇫🇷 Alliance Nîmes/Montpellier vs 🇩🇪 Borussia Düsseldorf The Lebruns in...

I get Ito's spot, my question was just about the last one that Nagasaki got. The translation of the criteria i read sounded like if there's overlap in the top 2 WR and the event winners (Miwa) that 5th spot should go to the next highest WR (which would be Odo, ahead of Hashimoto). Or is it just...

It's the Asian Games that uses the same qualifier as WTTTC, can get confusing with all Asian continental events happening this year. Both Odo and Hashimoto are not in the lineup for that one btw, even though they were the first in line for the 5th spot's criteria (?)

Yeah idk about that, there's a reason Alexis plays on p3

No, the complaint is appreciated, viewers have those same questions and it cannot be understated. If enough associations raised this issue before the event like DTTB did we could avoid such flawed formats.

In team it's her 3rd, first time leading the way. It was likely, but nice to make it through the harder quarter too

Also why this format is questionable, the concept of seeding groups to begin with, but then having a coin flip to face each other again. Korea beating China to be 2nd instead of 3rd just to draw them again, they could've had the same with a loss. This match win was deserved for Japan though. DQ...

Yes, the last top 8 in 1956 as i said. Big opportunity in this part of the bracket where the host took the seeded spot

The AI answer is nonsense in any case, an actual answer would depend how literal we take this question. The last time the USA WT finished top 8 was in 1956, getting 4th place. However if it's specifically about playing a quarterfinal it hasn't happened yet. Early decades of WTTC had formats with...

That's also the only way i found, this website man...
