Just noticed that :CHN declined their mixed doubles quota, no clue as to why though.

@Vic Liu any articles explaining the Chinese Table Tennis Association’s decision?

Because the athletes who got the quotas are not favorite ones. Chinese association will accept the world ranking quotas whoever listed top inside Chinese teams.

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.

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 :IND 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.

So Asian Table Tennis Union has five zones - East Asia, South-East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia. So Asia gets 6 quotas so 1 quota gets allocated to each of the five zones and the sixth one is allocated either by ranking or competition (format for 6th quota is TBD, it was ranking in 2020 and competition in 2016).

So here are NOC in each zone

East Asia : :CHN :TPE :HKG :JPN :KOR :PRK :MGL
