The World Cup bonus format is officially announced! Kuai Man Lin Shidong was shortlisted, and Qian Tian had no chance!
FIBA announced the prize money system for the FIFA World Cup, Kuaiman Lin Shidong was selected, and Qian Tianyi was eliminated.
Finalized. The ITTF has unveiled a number of new rules for the World Cup, including prize money, how it will be played, and an invitation system. Kwai Chung Wanlin and Stone Cave were successfully promoted.
As we all know, recently, the official FIFA website released China's squad for the World Cup.
Hey, this confuses a lot of fans, after all, there is a big difference between this World Cup and previous games, and that is the distribution of personnel. What's going on?
According to ITTF officials, Macau, China will host the individual World Cup from April 15 to 21, with a total prize fund of $1 million. However, this time the competition is a new way of playing.
In particular, there are 44 players who are selected from the Intercontinental Cup or the World Rankings, and the organizers can have 2 players on the field, and each federation can have 4 players on the field, but these 4 players cannot be included in the World Championships and the U19 World Championships.
Please note that in accordance with the rules, a maximum of 4 players from each federation can participate, except for the singles champions of the World Championships and the U19 World Championships.
According to the regulations, Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong are the single champions of the Durban World Championships respectively, and Lin Zhidong and Yi Wen are the champions of the U19 single event respectively, so all four players directly qualify.
In addition, there are Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu, and Chen Xingtong. Qian Tianyi was the last of the top four and ranked seventh, so he could not participate in the competition. In men's singles, according to the world rankings, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Gaoyuan all entered the finals.
From this point of view, we can say that compared with the qualifications of the other four associations, the four men and women of the national table tennis team have won them by their own strength, which is beyond doubt.
First of all, the first round of the competition adopts a single round-robin system, with 48 people divided into 16 groups, each team of 3 people, a total of 16 people. The purpose of this provision is to ensure that each participant has the opportunity to compete with other competitors.
Interestingly, although the round of 16 are all arranged in a "snake" pattern, it is clear that for the sake of fairness, they all try to avoid grouping athletes from the same league.
In each round of the group stage, each round is contested over four rounds, a rule that requires players to not only pursue victory, but also to show greater strength throughout the event.
For the first stage, this arrangement allows the six national team players to be divided into different groups, thus forming a new competition system.
Whether it's 4-0, 3-3, or 2-2, the results of the four games are different.
After the preliminary round, the top players in each group advance to the next round of elimination. In order to increase the chances of winning, the knockout round adopts a best-of-7 format. The rules of the draw are based on the position of the best players, who will be placed in 1 to 16 places, and there will be no evasion in the same club.
This arrangement gives the national team more room to play and ensures that the world's top players can play at critical moments. So, a win in the group stage would be a big step forward for their country, who will play a better role in the quarter-finals that follow.
The Men's World Cup has adopted a completely new way of playing, with the largest number of teams competing. The Table Tennis World Cup is the best for us, both in terms of world ranking and strength, and we have a good chance of winning.
In previous matches, there were only two halves, and under normal circumstances, you could qualify for the final. If it was before, they might still be able to compete for three or four, but now, they don't have a chance!
