This looks like an awesome setup!
I used to coach a player called James Meyers, who actually won the Deaf UK Championships in 2013. Coaching him was fascinating because we had to approach the game so differently. We spent a lot of time working on pure feeling, slowing the ball right down, focusing on brushing rather than over-hitting, and really understanding the contact on the racket.
It’s surprising how much we rely on the sound of the ball for feedback without even realising it. Because James couldn’t use that cue, he developed an unbelievable touch and sensitivity to the ball. It was a totally different coaching challenge, but one of the most rewarding ones I’ve had!

Oh wow that's very interesting and awesome to hear. There's a table here that's showcasing a bounce buzzer I suppose to bridge the gap. It buzzes when the ball bounces off the table. Now I think it's more aimed at deaf viewers for some tactile input to watching the games and not players.
It seems from the UK are NORTON Roy and BUENO DEL CARPIO Ernesto are here from the UK but I missed their games.
Your eyes don't deceive you. The place is great and it has the infrastructure to support. This gymnasium hosted the 2020 (delayed to 2021) Olympics for table tennis so it's great. Each table has a info TV with score/players as well as it's own umpire and score keeper for each game I've seen. They push the scores digitally to the big displays too.
Apparently there's something analogous to the Olympic village too? I'm going to go check it out if the men's singles final match doesn't go too long. If not I'll go another day.
