No in final, it's a surprise.

Yes , both the Saudi boys were higher ranked & were favourites for the quota . 
Looks like it could Jordan with the surprise quota in men’s section.

A 3-1 win 

Group 3 looks tough. Our men’s team is not in  best form & If they are not careful could easily loose to &/  
Similarly I think even Polska v Chile will be a very tight match.

Qualifying through this is vital for us, as I don't think we'll get anyone through the individual qualifiers. 

There will be a fair few spots available through the world team rankings. I expect 3-4 already qualified teams to make the last 8 here. Which will make 5-6 spots available through Team rankings. Teams that can’t make to QF here will look to qualify via ranking route, unless we have major upsets here & lower ranked teams qualify. 

[Roamingrover86 568]

Happy with our group in both men’s & women’s section.  should progress to KO round. 

Have they drawn for KOs as well?
Which group winners play whom & so on?

Quota/Start List Simulation (Including projected start lists, obviously for nations like China it’ll probably be way off due to their depth)

 

Simulation is based off of the ITTF World Rankings. All the different Asian quotas are quite confusing to me, and it’s very much possible I got something wrong, please feel free to correct me if needed. 

 

Men’s Team

Host Nation:  France (Felix Lebrun, Alexis Lebrun, Simon Gauzy)

Oceania Quota:  Australia (Nicolas Lum, Aditya Sareen, Finn Luu)

Asian Quota:  China (Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long)

European Quota:  Sweden (Anton Kallberg, Truls Moregard, Matthias Falck)

Pan American Quotas:  Brazil (Hugo Calderano, Vitor Ishiy, Guilherme Teodoro),  Canada (Eugene Wang, Edward Ly, Jeremy Hazin)

African Quota:  Egypt (Omar Assar, Ahmed Saleh, Mohammed El-Beiali)

World Championships Quotas:  Germany (Dang Qiu, Dimitrij Ovtcharov, Patrick Franziska),  South Korea (Jang Woojin, Lim Jonghoon, Lee Sang Su),  Japan (Shunsuke Togami, Sora Matsushima, Tomokazu Harimoto),  Portugal (Marco Freitas, Joao Geraldo, Tiago Apolonia),  Chinese Taipei (Kao Cheng-Jui, Chuang Chih-Yuan, Lin Yun-Ju),  Hong Kong (Wong Chun-Ting, Lam Siu Hang, Chan Baldwin),  Slovenia (Deni Kozul, Darko Jorgic, Peter Hribar),  Croatia (Tomislav Pucar, Andrej Gacina, Filip Zeljko)

World Rankings Quota:  Great Britain (Liam Pitchford, Paul Drinkhall, Tom Jarvis)

 

Men’s Singles 

African Quotas:  Nigeria (Quadri Aruna),  Algeria (Mehdi Bouloussa),  Senegal (Ibrahima Diaw),  Madagascar (Antoine Razafinarivo)

Central Asia Quota:  Kazakstan (Kirill Gerassimenko)

East Asia Quota:  Singapore (Izaac Quek)

South Asia Quota:  India (Harmeet Desai)
Southeast Asia Quota:  Malaysia (Javen Choong)

European Quotas:  Denmark  (Jonathan Groth),  Spain (Alvaro Robles),  Romania (Eduard Ionescu),  Belgium (Martin Allegro)

Latin America Quotas:  Chile (Nicolas Burgos),  Cuba (Andy Pereira),  Puerto Rico (Brian Alfanador),  Mexico (Marcos Madrid)

North America Quota:  United States (Ma Jinbao)

Oceania Quota:  New Zealand (Alfred Dela Pena)

West Asia Quota:  Iran (Noshad Alamiyan)

World Ranking Quotas:  Austria (Daniel Habesohn),  Slovakia (Lubomir Pistej),  Italy (Mihai Bobocica),  Czech Republic (Lubomir Jancarik),  Poland (Jakub Dyjas),  Argentina (Santiago Lorenzo),  Congo (Saheed Idowu),  Finland (Benedek Olah),  Hungary (Bence Majoros),  Greece (Panagiotis Gionis),  Paraguay (Marcelo Aguirre),  Ecuador (Alberto Mino),  Luxembourg (Luke Mladenovic),  South Africa (Luke Abrahams),  Cote D’Ivorie (Oba Kizito Oba)

Universality Quota: ?

I would suggest you wait till the World team championships due to be held next month before simulating the individual qualifiers. 8 places are up for grabs & going by previous editions some upsets are bound to happen . I am hoping  would qualify a team in both men’s & Women’s or at least  in one of the categories. 
We are ranked 16th in the world in men’s & 17th in Women’s, its perfectly possible for us to qualify. 
Infact for Tokyo olympics, the championship was held in Portugal & our men’s team were one of the favourites for the quota but lost in a shock result. 

Hopefully after the world team championships it will be easier to simulate the entries.

Quota goes to actually. Of the three teams with one win (the others being  and ) they had the best match difference.

 

Don't know how Chile lost so easily to Puerto Rico, and then today gave a hard time to both Brazil and Canada. They're coming for multiple medals at the Pan Am Games, I think...

 Won 1 match (3-0) , lost 2-3 & 0-3 

 Won 1 match ( 3-2) but lost 2-3 & 1-3 

 Won 1 match (3-1) but lost both matches 0-3 . 
 

It should be  winning the quota , isn’t it? 
 

 

[Roamingrover86 568]

It was so tight , came down to games won . All 3 had won 1 match each . 
 

It is always better to have a knockout format to avoid such complexity.

Sweden qualify 1 quota in  men’s team (3 athletes) to Paris Olympics 

Edited September 17, 2023 by Roamingrover86

Theoretically yes, but the only strong team among those 4 is  

They will almost certainly get the quota here , the other 3 are not ranked high enough to get the quota place by ranking . Even getting a quota at world team championships will be tough for them. This is their best opportunity to get that quota with  going out in the QF stage. 

[Roamingrover86 568]

   &  qualify for the Final group stage in Men’s Team . 
 

2 out of these 4 will secure quota places for Paris Olympics

Why would they have round robin after QF in a knockout format? 
Very strange way to conduct a championship perhaps the only confederation with a round robin format.

The 2 quotas are justified as ITTF previously had a North American & South American confederation, which offered a single quota each. 
So by merging the two confederation into 1 they kept the same quota place. 
ITTF must think about merging Oceania with Asia/Africa like some sports do, that way  will need to earn their quota place rather than getting a free quota and Asia/Africa teams will get to fight for an additional quota place.

What happens, if France wins the tournament, which I think is possible at least for the men? They have a young and strong team. Will the quota go to the finalist or will it be distributed by the World Ranking?

It will be distributed via world team rankings , which will be updated just after the world team championships in Busan, next year. This is as per the qualification document released by ITTF.
