Exactly! What league I play is the first question than how am I doing there - meaning percentage. "I am 73% player in 2nd division" - I would love it ; ) As how it translates, i.e. your USATT system might also be prone to the locality issues. If players don't mix, than I imagine 1900 pts of a...

I've been thinking how US Open and ranking system fits in your say - table tennis culture ... I don't know much about US, but an "every day life" of a person involved in tt in Poland i.e. concentrates mainly around the league games. I guess Germany is similar? In my district there are 14 teams...

Do you have any sources in english, how the TTR works?

Yeah, I think I have an idea ... I guess if I saw like a lower ranked players would be interesting. I'll see what I can find on yt.

I wish someone from Poland would correct me if I'm wrong, but I never heard about the TTR ... Ok, so players I know (mostly youtube : ) ASV Grunwettersbach: Samuel Walker (2014 WTTTC hero), Masataka Morizono, Ricardo Walther Post SV Muhlhausen: Daniel Habesohn, Ovidiu Ionescu Those are 2650 -...

Thanks, I think you gave me a pretty good idea what the ranking system in the US is all about. Though I wish I knew how to translate your points into our league levels. Usually when I introduce myself in any tournament the question is what league I play? Fourth .. but I could make it to the...

Ha, ha ... having tt fun over Thanksgiving with your family sounds pretty drastic (I've stayed in the US for a while : ) and risky ... even in the perspective of this Bronze medal for x category ; ) Still I agree it can be planned around vacations. Usually women secretly love guys with passions...

I have the impression the ZLC's are becoming popular nowadays. Like ZJK SZLC used by Tomokazu or Chun Ting Wong I believe are using this blade, Apolonia his own version. I had a chance to try SZLC and the sweep spot it provides is really impressive + the control/feeling are still exceptional...

There are several, kind of tt festivals in Poland, but these are usually one day events (there is one overnight tournament). Maybe some of my compatriots present here will correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody tried a semi pro event to be held for 5 days ... (US Open was 17 - 22 Dec right?). It...

True, true ... not much of a duel - agree, just a thrill before the match that you will have one ... ;) As for the tt festival it is a great idea, but rather not easy to materialize from the organizational point of view ...

Yeah, for me checking how to participate in the Ittf's event is as practical as asking people about the best route to the top of Everest ... Although once a year we have an open event attracting good players. This is why I am so sympathetic to the US Open formula, it's always a thrill to be...

Ok, so maybe she was not designated to be sponsored by the federation I guess. I remember an article in Poland, the guy was arguing how to make the national federation to let somebody play and what conditions one would have to meet. But these are just internal laws. Btw it's funny that a...

Yeah, as far as I remember the reasoning back than was that without obligating players to play plastics the vendors won't be able to finance any further research. Is this is some sort of saying in South Africa? :)

Ha, ha guys ... this is the first time I believe we'll see the table tennis duel. For life and death till the last blood!!! easy ... ;)

About 1k players ... wow. I hope the tournament will grow even bigger in 2018. Maybe this is the way to go, to make such events really attractive. 5k+ Veterans hmm ... if each participant brings his spouse there will be like 10k people ;) I remember WTTTC in Dortmund 2012 I think it was close to...

Sounds like a great event really. Did you have lots of people participating? As for the Ittf's events I never really formed such a question in my head :) For what I knew you don't have to be designated by the federation. A friend of mine polish female first league player (ekstraklasa) used to...

Oh really, I thought it was based on ranking and limited like those WT events. Good to know.

If there's so much space, maybe the tournament could transformed in a way, to allow everybody to participate. You could have "The" biggest event in the world : ) Just checked, no World Tour in 2018. There is PTT US Open and I can't really decipher it. Anyway I'll keep my fingers crossed for...

But you have a World Tour event next year - right? Btw, who were those Japanese guys playing the final?

My God! Send those drones right away!! ; )
