No one is going to make the short form of the matches? I have not enough time to watch the full match :(

TIP
Watch the full match and use the left/right arrows of your keyboard to skip easily the useless/inactive parts
(or, if you want to repeat the interesting points)

Dear zjkfanforever! I don't know if this standings is official, but Datong Shanxi should be higher in standings than Datong. Shanxi defeated them twice 3-1 and 3-1 and the total games difference is 31-18 against 30-24 of Datong. I don't know what aspect has preference: total games difference or mutual matches, because Shandong have difference 33-16 and Ordos-32-18, but Ordos defeated Shandong 3-0 & 3-1. If the games different, that means Shandong should be 2nd, Ordos-3rd, if their matches- standings is correct.
Dear Yuter, this is the official ranking published by CTTSL Official Site. But sometimes, they do commit errors in their statistics. As far as I know, the tie breaker between two teams will be their head to head record. If it's a three way tie, then the tie breaker will be the total win-loss ratio among the three.

There is a quite interesting thing about Ma Te, which I just noticed. I was little bit surprised when you wrote he is a defender. I saw him in the last Polish Open ( it was November 2013) and he was practicing topspins with FanZhendong and Zhou You both BH and FH. Even I have a short video. But now when I saw pictures in the web of Ma Te it looks like different guy. But definitely he had a Tshirt with the name Ma Te. So the question is if they use colleagues Tshirts?
 
"Defender" doesn't mean player should never attack.
for example, take a look onto match between Joo Se Hyuk and CCY on WTTTC2014, there were multiple rallies, and Joo Se Hyuk was very good at counter-top-spins.
Moreover, with modern table tennis, it is very important for defender not only "return ball to the table", but achieve good placement and counter-attack, and many defenders using this strategy.

I know what is modern defence. But with a long pimples on BH side it is really hard to make a topspin and I saw multiple Bh topspins and the sound was clear. Other thing is he was seating next to me when we were watching final between FZD and Zhou You and I saw his racket closely, there were regular rubbers.
Last thing is that guy was quite different from that on the internet photo.

I saw defenders that are flicking bat to play some chops with inverted rubber, to make more complicated reading ball spin.
Also, I have a player in local club, that has long pimples on max sponge, and he was able to do a top-spin with long-pimples :) and it was real top-spin, may be not as spinny as with inverted rubber, but still...

This is totally different question.
But, I have googled for Polish Open 2013, and found match with CCY vs Ma Te:
And it looks like Ma Te from CTTSL - chopper/defender with occasional attacks/drives.
Also, you may note that he is chopping with both BH and FH rubbers (sometimes with flicking to BH rubber on FH), and attacking with FH rubber.

May be there was his coach/advisor/sparring partner/friend that had Ma Te's t-shirt that sitted next to you watching games, while real Ma Te was somewhere else?

I think the double color ball is a good idea especially for the spectators who don't know much about table tennis. What makes TT interesting compared to others ball sports is spin and spin is also a spectacular thing when you watch slow-mo on TV.
So maybe, if someone come across TT on TV not on purpose he will be a bit more interested.

For players, there will be, of course, less mistakes on service returns and maybe longer rallies due to an easier spin reading. Maybe, the only problem will be for choppers and pimples players (so no problem...:p joking).
