The top players on international level. See Adam Sharara's comment about the (possibly coming) new service rule in the President's forum on www.ittf.com:

I agree that this rule may be difficult to implement at the lower grass roots levels. But frankly speaking it is not intended for those levels. As a matter of fact we will be very specific to indicate that the rule is for the International level, and for national associations to adopt for their top National events only.
