14 September 2010 As we're getting closer to the World Championships, I found interesting to look at players statistics for last 12 months. So, I computed the ratio of victories over all matches played against players from same class only and retained players who have won at least 75% of their matches. Of course, a high score is arguable for players who played very few matches except for Chinese players. So here is the list of 100 best players this year.
13 September 2010 These documents have been already sent to all national associations.
Following the restructuring process undertaken under the leadership of Claude Bergeret, the Board of Directors recently approved the composition and terms of reference of the new Athletes’ Commission. The process of electing players to serve on this Commission starts at the ITTF Para Table Tennis World Championships for the PTT representative and will continue at the ITTF World Table Tennis Championships to be held in May 2011 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands to fill the balance of places so that the Commission will operate from June 2011 at the latest. Please find attached the following documents for your consideration and action:
  1. The composition and terms of reference for the ITTF Athletes’ Commission
  2. The cover letter explaining the nomination processes
  3. A nomination form for the PTT representative to serve on the ITTF Athletes’ Commission
