General Guide

1.     Each team consists of a captain, 3 – 5 players. There is no limit for number of coaches. Each one can have multiple roles.

2.     Before each match, teams will need to decide which team is home team and which team is visiting team, by coin toss.

3.     If for unavoidable leaving, the unfinished game will be recorded as 0:3 loss and each of the unfinished sets will be recorded as 0:11. The reasons include health problem, injury, emergency absence and any type of dismiss due to the violation of the tournament rule and agreement. If there is remaining game for the absentee, a substitution can be made.  When a player leaves the game with whatever reason, s/he can no longer play any game in this tournament.

5.     There will be no timeout during a set. There will be a timeout up to one minute between sets.

6.     All paddles should follow ITTF regulations. All player’s serves should also follow the related regulation. Each violation will be panelized for one point.

7.     Due to limited resource, there will be no referee during competition. Both team should provide score keeper and each point should be announced loudly. It is player’s responsibility to record and report the score to the front desk. The organizer will provide some mechanism to resolve any dispute during matches. All parties MUST accept the final decision made by the referee committee.

8.     The tournament adopts 11-piont formats. Each game will be decided by the best of 5 sets.
