The 2022 World Team Table Tennis Championships were held in Chengdu, China from 30 September to 9 October 2022.[1][2] The World Team Championships were originally scheduled in April and pushed back to September due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Format

[edit]

The teams were drawn in groups of five teams in principle.[4][5] After a round robin in each group, the top two teams in groups and the highest-ranked (world team ranking) third-placed teams qualified for a 16-team knockout stage. Two losing semi-finalists received bronze medals in the absence of a third-place match.

Team match system

[edit]

A team consisted of three members playing best of five singles. Each singles match was a best of five games. The order of play was:

  1. A vs X
  2. B vs Y
  3. C vs Z
  4. A vs Y
  5. B vs X

Tie-breaking criteria for group play

[edit]

A finished team match brought two points for a win, one point for a loss. No points were given for a loss in an unplayed or unfinished match. The ranking of teams in the group stage were determined as follows:[6]

  1. Points obtained in all group matches;
  2. Points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
  3. Ratios of wins to losses in the singles matches played between the teams in question;
  4. Ratios of wins to losses in the games played between the teams in question;
  5. Ratios of wins to losses in the points played between the teams in question;
  6. Drawing of lots.

Qualification

[edit]

Qualified teams were announced in June 2022.[7] Number of teams eligible to compete for the trophy in each team event is expanded to 40, compared to the previous 24 teams in 2018.[8] However, only 32 men's teams and 28 women's teams arrived in Chengdu with differences from the original list.[9]
