With the 2012 Paralympic Games in London fast approaching, the attention of players and coaches is drawn to the fact that no medals will be awarded for players who do not participate in at least one match in the whole team event. This means that if a player stays on the bench throughout the team event, he or she will not receive a medal. If, however, he or she competes in one match in the whole team competition and only 1 match, he or she will be eligible to receive a medal. Similarly, no medals will be awarded to coaches. These are the rules applicable to the Paralympic Games.
The ITTF is a signatory of the World Anti-Doping Code and as such is obliged to establish a registered testing pool for international level athletes. For the PTT section, 1 player is selected per class for both men and women. Those selected are obliged to submit through ADAMS (an online system which allows daily whereabouts to be recorded) their whereabouts per day per quarter of the year. The ITTF, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the national anti-doping organisation may send a doping control officer to do an out of competition any time on the basis of the whereabouts information submitted. Should a player not be found at the time and place so recorded, they will be investigated so it is important to ensure accurate information is submitted and that it is kept up to date at all times.
Please do not wait too long to report errors in preview of the January 2012 ranking list that will be used for London 2012 Paralympic Games selection. Corrections can be made until January 10th included but keep in mind that some errors require time to investigate. Selections will be published on January, 15th.

With the inclusion of class 11 players during the course of 2011, we have considered the best way to continue the process in the lead up to the Paralympic Games to be held in London in 2012. Thus the PTT Division has approved the following:
  1. We will have classification at 2 Fa20 events in 2012 - Hungary and USA
  2. All other Fa20 events are open only to those class 11 with a confirmed status (C status)
  3. All Fa40 events will be open to class 11 with a C status.
  4. If a new class 11 player wishes to enter an event, he or she can only enter for the events in Hungary and USA were classification is available.
Should you have any questions, please contact Nico Verspeelt or Alison Burchell.

6 June 2011 The PTT Division has recently been informed that the Supreme Council for Sport in Africa has not, in fact, approved the inclusion of Para Table Tennis in the programme of the All Africa Games to be held in September 2011 in Maputo, Mozambique. This is obviously a great pity for PTT players in Africa but it should be a call to all associations and NPCs in Africa to work closely with their Ministry of Youth and Sport or equivalent to ensure that the next All Africa Games in 2015 do include PTT as was done in the Games held in Abuja, Nigeria in 2003.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will keep you informed of developments relating to the host for the PTT African Championships.

For the 4 regional championships (Africa [Mozambique], Europe, Americas [Mexico] and Asia-Oceania), all national associations and NPCs are asked to note that for class 11, the following is required:
  1. The class 11 players who have not yet been classified will be required to undergo classification during the regional championships (note that there will be an opportunity for classification during the INAS Global Games and the requirements below will also apply)
  2. In order for the entry of a class 11 player to be accepted, he or she will have to be registered on the INAS eligibility list for table tennis
  3. In order for this to happen, the player will have to complete some tests (in line with the World Health Organisation) at a national level and the results will need to be sent to INAS for checking and then the player will be included in the eligibility list
  4. Please see INAS web site for the detailed information
Should you have any questions, please contact Alison Burchell .

21 May 2011 The African Table Tennis Federation working closely with the African Paralympic Committee have won the support of the organisers of the 10th All Africa Games who agreed to include Para Table Tennis in the programme. This is a great development and the ITTF PTT Division expresses its gratitude to the ATTF, APC and COJA for their support.

As a result, all PTT players should make urgent contact with their national associations and/or National Paralympic Committees to ensure that they are able to submit entries by number to the NOCs for inclusion in the All African Games. As is usual, a minimum number of 6 nations need to participate in the event in order for it to be a full medal event. Obviously entries by name will be done in the normal way by the deadline already announced of 30 June 2011.

Classification will be done prior to the start of the PTT event. Classification, for the first time, will include class 11 players (players with intellectual disability).

The winners of each singles event per class will automatically be eligible for the 2012 London Paralympic Games. It is therefore important that all players are given the opportunity to qualify and that Africa takes up the full allocation of places for the Paralympic Games. This will also be a Fa50 event and ranking points won will be an important contribution to other players from the continent hopefully be selected for the Paralympic Games.

Should you have any queries, please contact:
  • Nico Verspeelt (technical delegate)
  • Archer da Cunha (president of the Mozambique Table Tennis Association) archer.da.cunha@gmail.com
  • Your NPC, national table tennis association or NOC

After site inspections were done and the reports considered, the ITTF Executive Committee awarded the World Championships to China (see the assessment report ). The event will be hosted by the Chinese Table Tennis Association providing the technical support to the NPC of China and the Division looks forward to working with the CTTA and the NPC of China to make these World Championships highly successful for all parties concerned. With just over 3 years to prepare, we hope that the arrangements made will ensure that the event is more player-focused than ever.
I would like, on behalf of the PTT Division, to thank both the bids submitted for China and Italy for the high quality bids, for your enthusiasm and commitment to promoting Para Table Tennis and we look forward to working with you both on various projects in the coming years.

Since the confirmation of the minimum eligibility for sitting players, it has been necessary for all players in class 5 to be reviewed. This would also help you to meet the tournament credit of 80 set for qualification for the Paralympic Games. Should you have any questions, please contact Nico Verspeelt.
With about 18 months left to go until the Paralympic Games start in London next year, the IPC and LOCOG have asked the ITTF for assistance to encourage all players hoping to get to London to complete an online questionnaire which collects information for their biographies. The IPC and LOCOG have appointed Infostrada and they are now starting to research the biographies using various tools, one of which is an online questionnaire, which they ask athletes to fill in.
Obviously it is in our players’ interest to complete the biography as fully and accurately as possible as this will greatly assist the media as well as help generate more excitement in the lead up to the Games. We ask all players to complete this online questionnaire as soon as possible.

  1. A template for the prospectus (general information) which requires certain information unique to each tournament to be included
  2. The first entry (entry by number) form
  3. The second entry (entry by name) form
  4. The tournament indemnity form which must be included by each team member prior to participating in any tournament
2 January 2011 List of players who have been selected randomly to be part of the registered doping testing pool for 2011.
The ITTF is a signatory of the World Anti-Doping Code and as such is obliged to establish a registered testing pool for international level athletes. For the PTT section, 1 player is selected per class for both men and women. Those selected are obliged to submit through ADAMS (an online system which allows daily whereabouts to be recorded) their whereabouts per day per quarter of the year. The ITTF, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the national anti-doping organisation may send a doping control officer to do an out of competition any time on the basis of the whereabouts information submitted. Should a player not be found at the time and place so recorded, they will be investigated so it is important to ensure accurate information is submitted and that it is kept up to date at all times.
This RTP is for the calendar year 2011. Changes may be made in preparation for 2012 and the Paralympic Games.
