B

Proposed by Swiss Table Tennis

Test on Height of the Net

Table tennis is a very attractive and spectacular sport as soon as there are rallies. Unfortunately, too many rallies are finished within the first 3 strokes. To reach the fixed target to become top 5 sport, table tennis has to be more spectacular. The importance of service (and receive) has to be declined. Especially the services and receives are crossing the net very low, afterwards, the balls cross the net much higher. Therefore one might estimate that with a higher net, there would be more rallies.

Swiss Table Tennis, after having discussed with a lot of top players, technical directors, presidents of NA and others, assigns the ITTF to register at the 2016 Olympic Games (or a World Tour competition) with a high speed camera at the height of the net a minimum of 20 matches of men and another 20 matches of women with different playing styles and to publish the statistics until the 30th of November 2016.

Depending on the results, Swiss Table Tennis will maybe ask to the AGM 2017 in Germany to change the rules and introduce a higher net from July 2018 on.

Passed

• Details of the bidding conditions in city of Budapest were distributed by the ITTF Competition Programme staff to complete the presentation of the Hungarian TTA.

4-AGM-03-2016 The AGM resolved to allocate the 2019 World Championships organisation and hosting to the Hungarian Table Tennis Association in the city of Budapest.

16.2 Deadline bids for 2020 World Championships: the AGM noted that the deadline to

17. P5 Plan update (DBI – Top 5): Mr Adham Sharara gave an update on the progress of the

P5-Plan and the main objective for table tennis to be ranked amongst the Top-5 sports in the world. One staff member was recently appointed to assist to complete the project and to prioritize the suggestions received. The Executive Committee decided not to start the action plan implementation before January 2017, until the income shortfall recovery plan for 2016 is implemented.
