For some technical disfunction OOAK debarred me from regular communications on the forum owned by mr. Haggis. This is the insisting reason for me to take over this meaningful discussion to a different forum for answering your questions in a proper manner.

Dear ALL,
Please be informed of a proper interpretation of the use of sandwich rubbers during a competition, as follows
📛 Rule 3.2.1.3. explicitly forbids using bastard sandwich rubbers. The main purpose of the rule is to prevent players from using sandwich rubbers which are not approved by ITTF.
For this present time, ITTF does not allow a sponge to be combined with topsheet other than by means of a factory . Those hand-made sandwich rubbers are generally recognized as bastard products and shall never be used for official competitions.
Be happy all
Igor Novick
national umpire
NOTE: To our profound disappointment, URC subcommittee within ITTF has now produced a misleading instruction regarding the use of sandwich rubbers.
Not all gold that glitters and not all golden words that came from ITTF URC, sorry.
