Playing System
In the current season of the Chinese Table Tennis Super League, men’s and women’s team competitions are held. The match format follows the Paris Olympic Games team system: each team match consists of up to five individual matches and is played to three team victories.
Each individual match is played as best-of-five games, with three games required to win, and each game played to 11 points.
The order of play in a team match is as follows:
- B/C — Y/Z (doubles)
- A — X
- C — Z
- A — Y
- B — X
In each team match, a club is allowed to field no more than one player who is not registered with the Chinese Table Tennis Association. During the first three stages of the regular season, teams compete in a double round-robin format. The four clubs finishing at the top of the regular-season standings qualify for the final playoff stage. In the finals, the clubs ranked 1st and 2nd in the regular season select their semifinal opponents from the teams ranked 3rd or 4th. The winners of the semifinals advance to the championship match. The losing semifinalists do not play a third-place match, and their final rankings are determined by their regular-season positions. Clubs that fail to qualify for the final stage are ranked according to the final regular-season standings.
