Please note that the ITTF have made no rule changes for the 2011/12 season, and thus the ETTA have made no rule changes.
However, the Boston & District Table Tennis League has changed some of its rules – which you can find elsewhere on this web site!
Here is a brief synopsis:
Rule 8.7 now allows players in Division 2 to play for more than one team in Division 1 – but the overall limit of four matches still applies.
Rule 9.8 has resulted in the doubles being moved to game 7, instead of being at game 10 – unless both teams agree to play the doubles in its ‘normal’ place.
Finally, where both teams arrive with only two players, they will now be able to contest 9 points, only the ‘dead rubber’ between the absent players being null and void.
