Hello from ITTF President

[noppen-lord]

Yes it was me seeing this homepage.

The supplier tells clearly it is only for show also for hobby players not for proffesionell.
Well done!
If I remember clearly the base why ITTF forbid the frictionless long pimples is:

to disable TUNING of long pimples!

Adham sorry but you failed with this total.

cool!

Cool New York Prices, too!

$7.50 per half-hour for standard tables
...
Standard Annual Membership Prices: Individual $800 or $80 per month*

The place looks a bit goofy but I don't mind reading gossip in the future about George Clooney and Susan Sarandon playing TT as long as it helps the cause!

If you have a date, a highly anticipated grudge match, a limited amount of time to play at lunch or if you just want to sneak in a pre-dinner match

Pre-dinner match? New York, huh?

I'll check the place out over the course of the next two weeks - and report back to you guys, of course.

Adham,
today Sweden reset the ban of frictionless long pimples!
After England now Sweden.
Please think about this.
If some more will do then half Europe plays with the other without ITTF rules.
This can not be the right way!

[Noppenkünstler]

Of course it cannot be right if all countries have different rules. The only possibility which I can see is to allow frictionless pimples as there is no real possibility to recognize them and as there are more and more countries resetting the ban !

You're right, there can't be different rules in every ITTF member's territory.

The solution is simple, every player from England and Sweden has to banned from ITTF competitions, as their federations act against ITTF rules (they could take legal actions at a court in Lausanne, if the want).

I told you guys many times that each National Association is free to have whatever rule they want in their own country. This is the way all International federations function. But when a Swedish of English player plays in an ITTF event, then they must respect ITTF rules. Very simple. This is the same in Ice Hockey, Basketball and several other sports. It's not a problem, it's an advantage.

No player will be banned from an ITTF competition if they respect the ITTF rules at that competition. At home they can play as they like. I said this many times. You can use whatever you want at your club if your club allows it. Then when you play at a national event you must respect the National Association;'s rules, then if you want to enter an ITTF event you must respect the ITTF rules.

And now I have to go back to our World Championships affairs. I hope you all follow on itTV and on the ITTF website www.ittf.com

Now that Timo is out, German interest in these worlds has dropped dramatically, alas... Don't expect high TV or Internet ratings from Europe. The situation really has become quite depressing, with all the medals most likely going to Asia. Good luck anyway.
