Cafeteria: | In the gymnasium warm and cold meals and beverages are offered at both tournament days. |
Clothing: | Table tennis playing garment is obligation. The gymnasium may be entered only in not-coloring sport shoes. |
Laws of the Game: | Both days will be played according to the ITTF Laws (German version; restrictions see below), the Laws of the DTTB and the implementing regulations and the "Rechts- und Disziplinarordnung" of the TTVN. The management committee is allowed to make changes to the tournament rules if necessary. |
Hardbat laws: | The tournament is a modern hardbat tournament, not a classic hardbat tournament: The ITTF rule A 4.3 (racket coverings) will be changed as follows: A side of the blade used for striking the ball must be covered with ordinary pimpled rubber with pimples outwards having a total thickness including adhesive of not more than 2 mm (no sponge). Long pimples with a relationship between pimple length and pimple diameter (aspect ratio) of more than 0.9 (according to ITTF-list of permitted racket coverings) are not permitted, even if they are used without sponge. The ITTF rules A 4.6 (red/black) and B 2.1.3 (ITTF permission) are not considered with this tournament. An exemplary list of racket coverings, which are permitted for the tournament, is on page "Brettchen-Beläge" (groups A, B and C). There we also have a list of long pimples out coverings, which are not permitted because of disregard of above pimples geometry (group D). We are prepared to give 50 loaner hardbats of good quality (wood: TSP Picco/rubber: TSP Miracle) to players without a racket permitted for this tournament. Who needs such a loaner hardbat should tell us that with his entry. |
Clickball laws: | The laws of the World Championship of Ping Pong will be applied: All players must use the official WCPP bats being provided at the table. In these the wood is coated on both sides with a thin layer of fine sandpaper with the same color. Private rackets are not allowed. Before each change of ends every player puts the racket used previously to his half of the table. After the change, he uses the bat with which his opponent has played before. It is played with best of three games to 15 points. Each game is finished when the first player has scored 15 points. In the final game ends change when the first player has scored seven points. Each player once per match has the option to take a double-point ball. This must be at his own serve and before he has reached 13 points in this game. The directly following rally is played with a white ball. If this rally is won by the server he gets two points. Otherwise, the opponent gets one point. Counting and change of service will remain unaffected. The server always has two services one by one. |
