2018 World Team Cup, 22 Feb 2018 - 15 Feb 2018

I assume that's explained by faster than light loop exchanges and the resulting time dilation due to general relativity?

Must be! And that glorious time reversal will also see Liu Guoliang reemerge from the penal colony, and Zhang Jike actually playing to his stature.

 

[TTHopeful]

Who's attending live? Any TTD members going?

 

[rainneverever]

I think CNT men's team is no. 2 seed this time. Germany is no. 1.
"Seeding will be done according to the new February 2018 Team World Ranking list"

Haha! When I clicked post, the connection went faster than the speed of light and forced the post to go back in time

Oh wait that wouldn't work... I think you the observer is seeing the post at a different time due to the realm of the internet

Edited btw haha

Thanks for letting us know Rain. Will look into this and get it sorted. Do you have team list in ranking order?

 

[lugi2000]

We might get the Harimoto vs Fan Zhendong we have all been waiting for in this tournament!

shouldn't it be 22 Feb 2018 - 25 Feb 2018 though?

 

[ridderz65]

I'm attending this event, but on the weekend after the 15th-18th Feb

 

[Sali]

Where is south Korea on women competition?
Where is Portugal on men ?

 

[yoass]

Where is south Korea on women competition?
Where is Portugal on men ?

Not qualified. I checked the list of qualified teams, and it contains:

• Asian, European, Pan-American, African and Oceanian champions (contains men's WR#1,2 and women's #1,6)
• For some or other reason the runner-up of the Pan-Am championships too (team USA, WR #45 men/#21 women)
• The WR teams #3 to #7 (men) and #2 to #5 + #9 (women)
• The home team (team England, WR #14 men/#30 women)

That really doesn't answer your question. I have no clue as to why of the protected status of the Pan-Am runner-up; I don't know why the women's #9 was chosen over #7 and #8.

 

[Atas Newton]

Just realized Kim Song I is attending. I've been waiting since Rio (where she took bronze beating Ai Fukuhara after dispatching of Kasumi Ishikawa in first round) to see her again. A very entertaining defender with deadly attacks.

I hope to be there on thursday and friday afternoon. Are you going?

 

[Sali]

I just also wonder why Japan did not take jun mizutani. He is way better then oshima.

Hi Dan, you forgot to write EGYPT as the country for the Men's at #10.

According to an interview with German Teamcoach Jörg Rosskopf and tischtennis.de Timo Boll will NOT attend but Dima and Franz (fyi: Patrick Franziska not Peter Franz) will play.

[Yecats Encerwal]

Who's attending live? Any TTD members going?

I'm attending, just watching the last two days

Should be a good watch!

 

[Sali]

I heard he himself opted out.

Does it mean he will not participate olympics Tokio 2020? - quite strange, probably it could be his last olympics. Koki is younger and Harimoto is probably the best japanese player now.
