I don't think any one is surprised that full force is not represented

No need to waste time and energy in jet lag for ... nothing.

Would have been in Iran, Israel, Qatar... why not, same jet lag for everyone, but all those competitions in China/Japan/Korea only for no points right after the OG, the WTT Finals, and before the WTTC in Qatar is a total nonsense. Not interesting enough for the Americas and Europe. Amy and Lilly make a living in the MLTT right now, on their home soil.

They better stop this useless sh.t, as the ITTF World Cup this year in ...

4....

games. WTF really.

The WTT Finals are already replacing the World Cup, just bring a WTT Team Finals on the same week and done.

someone will argue there is points... haha

SYS got 42 points for taking part last year. haha
if it wasn't for ATTC ending with 0 points, 42 would be her lowest.

Hayata beat SYS with 58 points

to have teams straight after finals isn't a bad idea to be honest.

running out of calendar for all the tournaments, since there is only 12 months a year, and WTTC/WTTTC will take 1 month
continental will take another month, so only 10 months left for the 10 mandatory plus world cup + finals.

however the xd world cup is a ITTF things..... not WTT.

 

[igorponger]

Make some changes to the rules. It is most advisable for ITTF to provide the non-chinese participants with some beneficial preference so as to level chances between all.

Almost the same amount of points as a feeder semi finalist then. Really not worth the effort sorry I'll pass
I'm ok but 1-the format is cringy, 2- not at the same place, I'd prefered this in Fukuoka starting on 11-25, everyone would have been ok to play it. When you have to make a living with pro leagues what do you do then ? you stay 1 week more in hotels in China or Japan or Korea ? or you come back to America or Europe to play pro leagues, time zones, jet lag, ... that's why separating team and single events have been a terrible mistake.

no prize money vs pro league, most people will choose pro league. that is for sure

Wasn't this the tournament that China withdrew their Chinese players from T-League until Japan brought their top players to the tournament? How the tables have turned.

yes
JNT had no interest last year, until political influenced.

 

[zeio]

To be fair, CTTA extended the olive branch by sending multiple CNT players to T.League and JTTA didn't return the favor last year, citing they couldn't find enough players and so didn't send a team at all, saying they couldn't force them to play. CTTA returned the favor by withdrawing their players.

CTTA supported USATT to host WTTC 2021 and USATT supported CTTA to host WTTC 2022. It's mutual.

China has no problem with other teams sending someone, but not anyone for the inaugural edition? That's malicious.

They do this because of "intelligence" with the biggest chinese diaspora in the world being in the USA. It's funny how China is interested in the weirdest places in the world, like... Brittany for example

Why do you think China allowed some of his CNT members to play for french teams and specially La Romagne ? it's right near the big Thales hub in Cholet

that is probably the only way to make this event serious

have never seen a world cup with so many pros requesting a skip

 

[turbozed]

I guess it's kinda interesting watching some of these second stringers play.
