The World Team Championships - Valladolid España

A WORLD FIRST!

December 2022 sees the first ever World Team Championships for touchtennis. Starting on December 2nd which is World touchtennis Day we have the two round-robin groups first! Four teams will be seeded. Two in each group. 

The seeding will be done by the collective ranking of the country's players that make up the team. 

Group A
Three Teams 
Group B
Three Teams 

Format of play is round-robin in the group stages with each team playing six matches per tie in the following sequence: (each team captain must submit their player order/ranking no later than 30 minutes prior to the first match and at the same time as their opponent, Women's Player 2 for example is not dictated by that player's ranking, but by the order the team captain places them in)

If both teams reach three match wins each, then a tie-break is played of 5 points. Each player from each team plays one point at a time for their country with a deciding point at 4-4!  

Saturday sees the semi-finals and playoffs with the grand final on Sunday. 

Each of the eight teams will have accommodation and food paid for with a total prize fund of €8000 with the winning team scooping an unprecedented €1000 per player! 

Accommodation will be provided on the basis of two twin rooms per team at the NH Ciudad Valladolid.
