I'm a bit new to table tennis. I've been following it for a while now on ITTF streaming services. But I was a bit confused about the tournaments structure. Is there a breakdown somewhere that describes which are the top tournaments based on prize money and ranking points?
For instance, in tennis I can easily check what the prize money is for a winner say of Wimbledon or Roland Garros. I cannot see this in the normal calendar of the ITTF website.
Roughly from just experience I know the Olympics are the most important followed by World Championships.
After maybe there are the Platinum events followed by regular World tour events.
But I don't know how the recent ITTF-ATTU Asian Table Tennis Championships compares to all these.
And what are prizes and ranking for each? Then there's also the world cup which is a bit of a mystery how it works.
Thanks a lot for helping shed some light on the subject.
