per rules, in first stage we will have separate tournaments for each zone and the winner qualifies for Rio, India is the only country registered from South Asia, so it will be a competition between those 4 Indian players in each gender.

 

What other countries are even eligible to be a part of South Asia? Maldives, Nepal and Bhutan?

If the winner of each regional zone will qualify for Rio, how will you be able to select the other six table tennis players per gender to complete the line-up among the Asians?

in first stage, we have separate tournaments for each zone, winners qualify (each country can enter max 4 here)

 

after that, in second stage we have another tournament to determine other 6 quotas. here each country can enter max 2 (those who qualified in 1st stage can enter only 1)

 

except for 1st stage of South Asia  , the rest of the tournament will be direct elimination. in south Asia since there are only 4 players, thy will play in round robin

As you mentioned in the second stage, only the top six non-qualified table tennis players from Asia will take the remaining spots. Am I right?

Those who qualified can't participate in 2nd stage, (even their country can enter 1 instead of 2) so no more condition, top 6 will qualify,

Wow, talking about surprises in the men's draw, Cuba grab the first two tickets unexpectedly, in both cases denying hosts Chile a spot

 

The next two days will be very exciting to watch as there at least 8 players with legit aspirations for the other 3 places... sadly Marcos Madrid once failed miserably in the first round, not even being able to take a set.

 

Meanwhile in the women's, Adriana Diaz of Puerto Rico demonstrated why she's probably the best player from the region and overcome a tough challenge; on the other hand Yadira Silva played her worst match and was defeated by Colombia's Lady Ruano. She'll need a lot of luck and power tomorrow, since her half of the draw is where the most difficult players are grouped.
