Do you know which players have been promoted and relegated in A and B Team please ?
Thanks.
(sorry for being a bit off-topic)
Hey John I don't know whether you know these guys. Let me list the players and results for you.
| Rank | Men's | Women's |
| 1 | Cui Qinglei | Mu Zi (pimpled backband) |
| 2 | Ma Te | Feng Yalan |
| 3 | Yu Ziyang | Li Xiaodan |
| 4 | Zhu Linfeng | Che Xiaoxi |
| 5 | Yin Hang | Liu Fei (chopper) |
| 6 | Zhou Qihao | Gu Ruochen |
| 7 | Lyu Xiang | Liu Gaoyang |
| 8 | Zheng Peifeng(penholder) | Zhang Qiang (penholder) |
| 9 | Wang Chuqin | Wen Jia |
| 10 | Ren Hao | Sheng Dandan |
| 11 | Liu Yi (chopper) | Hu Limei (chopper) |
| 12 | Liu Dingshuo | Gu Yuting |
| 13 | Wu Hao | Liu Xi |
| 14 | Wu Jiaji (penholder) | Zhao Yan |
| 15 | Xue Fei (penholder) | Li Jiayi |
| 16 | Zhang Yudong | Wang Xuan |
| 17 | Kong Lingxuan | Jiang Yue |
| 18 | / | Zhou Xintong (Penholder pimples) |
For the men's team, the last 4 (in green) players are relegated directly. Wu Jiaji and Xue Fei were in B team, so they returned to B team more precisely. Kong Lingxuan was injured after three matches during the round robin, so he was ranked the last and relegated with Zhang Yudong. The top 4 players Cui Qinglei, Ma Te, Yu Ziyang and Zhu Linfeng were qualified for the 2nd stage. But I don't know why Zheng Peifeng rather than Zhu Linfeng was playing in the 2nd trial. Maybe it's a mistake by the press.
The rest 9 players were still competing for the A team. But the rule and result were not revealed.
For the women's team, All these 18 players were in A team. They were domestically ranked from 7th to 24th. Top 4 players Mu Zi, Feng Yalan, Li Xiaodan, and Che Xiaoxi were qualified for the 3rd stage of trail. The last ranked player, Zhou Xintong who is twiddling penhold styled with long pimples in forehand and short pimples in backhand, was relegated directly. What a pity, her style is very interesting and she was promoted to A team in 2013 because she entered the single's quarter finals of Chinese National games. The players in grey (Zhao Yan, Li Jiayi, Wang Xuan and Jiang Yue) were playing with Yuan Xuejiao, Guo Yichen, Zhu Zhaohui and Chen Ke who were the top 4 players in B team to compete for 4 spots in A team. In the end, Zhu Zhaohui, Zhao Yan, Yuan Xuejiao, Guo Yichen are top 4. So Zhu Zhaohui, Yuan Xuejiao and Guo Yichen were promoted to A team, while Li Jiayi, Wang Xuan and Jiang Yue were relegated.
