5. ITTF World Team Rankings
The ITTF World Team Ranking and ITTF World U18 Team Ranking is based on the ranking points of the 3 highest world title eligible ranked players of each Association, ranked on the
current individual senior and U18 World Ranking lists. Even if an Association has only one or two players ranked on the individual World Ranking lists, the team of that Association is still ranked.
To set up the World Team Ranking lists, each team is opposed to all the other teams in a
computer simulated round-robin, using the WTTC match system of 5 singles matches. The order of matches is the following: A v X, B v Y, C v Z, A v Y, B v X. In each virtual team match the players are placed in ranking order. 2 points are awarded to the winning team of each of
these team matches, the losing team getting 0 points. When there is a tie, which may happen when players of opposing teams have the same Rating, each of these teams receives 1 point.
The final ranking order is determined by the total number of points earned by each of the teams. Where there are tied teams, in the first instance those virtual team matches between
the tied teams are considered to resolve the tie. If there is still a tie, then the total individual matches won against all opposing teams is then considered.
The calculation method of the team ranking won’t change until the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
