The ITTF holds over 80 events a year, seen the major events on TV in over 110 countries and currently has over 1.3 million social media followers which makes it one of the most followed sport on the planet. The ITTF was initiated in Berlin, Germany and became formalized in London in 1926. Table tennis became an Olympic discipline at the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympic Games and a Paralympic Discipline in 1960. The current ITTF President is Mr. Thomas WEIKERT (GER) who was appointed in 2014. HISTORY OF TABLE TENNIS Table tennis started as a parlour game in Victorian England; it was after dinner entertainment for the upper class society. Gradually, the sport grew from a parlour game to a highly competitive activity. Interest began to fade around 1904, and it was not until its revival in the early 1920s that competition resumed on an ever-growing scale. However, for the game to advance as a serious international sport, standards had to be developed, hence the formation of the ITTF in 1926, along with the first World Championships. The first Championships were organised, in London in 1926, originally as a European Championships. There was one problem; a group of players from India wanted to compete; hastily just before play began, the name was changed to World Championships but the poster advertising the event remain as European Championships. The game of table tennis has since gone from strength to strength, first appearing in the Olympic Gamestand now is the second most played sport in the world. For further history look at the table tennis historical timeline here: ITTF.com/media/History/Timeline_History.pdf. 4 | RIO 2016 PARALYMPIC GAMES TABLE TENNIS EVENT BASIC TABLE TENNIS RULES TEAM MATCHES Two or three players form a team; an overall fixture between two teams comprises three matches. A double, followed for two further singles. The first team to win two matches is declared the winner. Each match is best of five games. The Paralympic Games is organized in knock-out principle. SINGLES MATCHES Each match is best of five games. The whole event is organized on two stage. The first is in group system and the final stage in the knock-out principle. FLOW OF THE MATCH Each player serves two points in a row; then the service changes. However, if a score of 10-10 is reached in any game, then the service is alternate. The first player to be two points clear is declared the winner. After each game, the players change ends; should a deciding game be need; in that game the players change ends when one player reaches five points. DOUBLES ORDER OF PLAY In doubles, when at least one player of a pair is in a wheelchair due to a physical dis- ability, the server shall first make a service, the receiver shall then make a return but thereafter either player of the disabled pair may make returns. However, no part of a player’s wheelchair or a foot of a standing player of this pair shall protrude beyond the imaginary extension of the centre line of the table. If it does, the umpire shall award the point to the opposing pair. LEGAL SERVICE The ball must rest on an open hand palm. It must be thrown vertically at least sixteen centimeters and struck as the ball falls. The ball must bounce on the server’s side and then the opponent’s side of the table. If the serve is legal except that it touches the net, it is called a let serve and the server has to serve again. For Para events, the umpire may relax the requirements for a correct service where he or she is satisfied that compliance is prevented by physical disability. 08 - 17 SEPTEMBER 2016, RIOCENTRO PAVILION 3 | 5 BASIC TABLE TENNIS RULES A LET The rally shall be a let: If the receiver is in wheelchair owing to a physical disability and in service the ball, (provided that the service is otherwise correct) • after touching the receiver’s court, returns in the direction of the net • comes to rest on the receiver’s court • (in singles), leaves the receiver’s court after touching it by either of its sidelines. A POINT Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point: If both players or pairs are in a wheelchair due to a physical disability and: • his or her opponent does not maintain a minimum contact with the seat or cushion(s), with the back of the thigh, when the ball is struck • his or her opponent touches the table with either hand before striking the ball • his or her opponent’s footrest or foot touches the floor during play EQUIPMENT The racket must have a red and a black side.

DID YOU KNOW? • A player’s racket is tested randomly before each match, and opponents have the right to look at each other’s rackets. • The edges of the table are part of the legal table surface, but not the sides. • If a game lasts for more than 10 minutes, the expedite rule comes into action. Serving is alternate, if the receiver returns the 13th stroke in the rally, the receiver has won the point. • If a player strikes the ball below the wrist of the hand that is holding the racket, the point is legal. • If a player hits the ball around the net and it still lands legally on the table, the shot is valid. 6 | RIO 2016 PARALYMPIC GAMES TABLE TENNIS EVENT TABLE TENNIS TIME SCHEDULE Day 1 – 8th September 2016 Session 1: 09:00-14:20 09:00 – 09:40: Men Singles Qualification (SM3 – SM8) 09:40 – 10:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM3 – SM8 – SF8) 10:20 – 11:00: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF3 – SF8 – SM9) 11:00 – 11:40: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF3 – SM2 – SM9 – SF9) 11:40 – 12:20: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM2 – SM5 – SF9 – SM6) 12:20 – 13:00: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM5 – SM6) 13:00 – 13:40: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF1-2 – SF6) 13:40 – 14:20: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF4 – SF11) Session 2: 16:00 – 22:00 16:00 – 16:40: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM1 – SF10) 16:40 – 17:20: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM4 – SM10) 17:20 – 18:00: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF5 – SM4 – SM10 – SF7) 18:00 – 18:40: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF5 – SF3 – SF7 – SM7) 18:40 – 19:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF3 – SM7 – SM11) 19:20 – 20:00: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM3- SM11 – SM8) 20:00 – 20:40: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM3 – SM8) 20:40 – 21:20: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF4 – SF8) 21:20 – 22:00: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF9) Day 2 – 9th September 2016 Session 3: 09:00-14:20 09:00 – 09:40: Men Singles Qualification (SM4 – SM9) 09:40 – 10:20: Men Singles Qualification (SM4 – SM5 – SM9 – SM7) 10:20 – 11:00: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM5 – SM2 – SM7 – SF6) 11:00 – 11:40: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM2 – SF6 – SM6) 11:40 – 12:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF1-2 – SM6 – SM10) 12:20 – 13:00: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM1 – SM10) 13:00 – 13:40: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF5 – SF11) 13:40 – 14:20: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF4 – SF10) Session 4: 09:00-14:20 16:00 – 16:40: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM2 – SM11) 16:40 – 17:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM2 – SM5 – SF7) 17:20 – 18:00: Men’s Singles Qualification (SF5 – SM4 – SF7) 18:00 – 18:40: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM4 – SM7 – SF8) 18:40 – 19:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF1-2 – SF8 – SM6) 08 - 17 SEPTEMBER 2016, RIOCENTRO PAVILION 3 | 7 TABLE TENNIS TIME SCHEDULE 19:20 – 20:00: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM3- SM6 – SM8) 20:00 – 20:40: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM3 – SM8) 20:40 – 21:20: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF5 – SF11) 21:20 – 22:00: Women’s Singles Qualification (SF9) Day 3 – 10th September 2016 Session 5: 09:00-14:20 09:00 – 09:40: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF3 – SM9) 09:40 – 10:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF3 – SM9 – SF7) 10:20 – 11:00: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM1 – SF7 – SM10) 11:00 – 11:40: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM2 – SM5 – SM10) 11:40 – 12:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM3 – SF6) 12:20 – 13:00: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SM3 – SF10) 13:00 – 13:40: Men’s Singles Qualification (SM4 – SM11) 13:40 – 14:20: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF1-2 – SM6 – SM7) Session 6: 16:00-21:15 16:00 – 16:45: Men’s & Women’s Singles Qualification (SF3 – SM8) 16:45 – 17:30: Women’s Singles Quarterfinals, Men’s Singles Qualification (SF5 – SM10 – SM9) 17:30 – 18:15: Men’s & Women’s Singles Quarterfinals (SF4 – SM6) 18:15 – 19:00: Men’s Singles Quarterfinals

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2012/A/2831 Japan Paralympic Committtee (JPC) v. International Paralympic Committee (IPC) & International Blind Sport Federation (IBSA), award of 20 August 2012 Panel: The Hon. Michael Beloff QC (United Kingdom), Sole Arbitrator Paralympics football 5-a-side Reallocation of an unused slot Systems of selection criteria Validity of the IBSA’s decision to refuse to revise its reallocations decision for the London 2012 Paralympics Games 1. There is no uniform law which applies to selections for participation in sporting competitions in general or in the Olympics/Paralympics Games. Some are based on objective criteria, some on subjective criteria, some on a mixture of both criteria. The advantage of wholly objective system i.e one which depends upon ascertainable results or rankings is that it obviates controversy which attends upon the exercise of subjective judgment. The advantage of a subjective system i.e. one which does depend upon the judgment of the selectors is that it obviates the possibility that, notably in individual events, the best candidate may, through injury or illness or accident, may be unable to compete, or even if able to compete, be eliminated in sudden death trials. CAS has developed certain principles to govern selection disputes principally that: (i) selection criteria should be as objective as possible; and (ii) where selection criteria are objective they must be adhered to. 2. In case the international federation had a discretion and there was nothing irregular about the procedure by which its decision was taken, it must be considered that such decision was fair and reasonable.
