Determintion of group ranking order in case of equality
As some clubs questioned on how the group ranking will be determined in case of equality between 2 or more clubs please note that we follow the ITTF Regulations 3.7.5.1-4 as in the preceeding seasons:
3.7.5 Group Competitions
3.7.5.1 In a group or “round robin” competition all members of the group shall compete against each other and shall gain 2 match points for a win 1 for a loss in a played match and 0 for a loss in an unplayed or unfinished match; the ranking order shall be determined primarily by the number of match points gained. If a player is defaulted after the completion of a match for any reason he or she shall be deemed to have lost the match which shall subsequently be recorded as a loss in an unplayed match.
3.7.5.2 If two or more members of the group have gained the same number of match points their relative positions shall be determined only by the results of the matches between them by considering successively the numbers of match points the ratios of wins to losses first in individual matches (for a team event) games and points as far as is necessary to resolve the order.
3.7.5.3 If at any step in the calculations the positions of one or more members of the group have been determined while the others are still equal the results of matches in which those members took part shall be excluded from any further calculations needed to resolve the equalities in accordance with the procedure of 3.7.5.1 and 3.7.5.2.
3.7.5.4 If it is not possible to resolve equalities by means of the procedure specified in 3.7.5.1-3 the relative positions shall be decided by lot.
