Manika Batra put a Instagram story about team qualification

Now for the women's team rankings including Singles rankings. This is merely an indicator as obviously rankings changes for 40 x 3 players would be a mammoth exercise. 4 teams would qualify via rankings. So this is my rankings scenario Rank NOC Feb pts WTT 2022 Singles Feb Mar pts WTT 2024 Singles Mar 1 Thailand 1788 492 918 2298 1072 848 2 Poland 1534 492 420 2148 1072 454 3 India 1994 1072 672 2106 1072 784 4 Sweden 1400 492 622 2030 1072 672 5 Portugal 2416 1464 574 2024 1072 574 6 Puerto Rico 2666 1072 1158 1902 308 1902 7 Singapore 2652 1464 492 1762 574 492 players would benefit from the WTT 2024 and each of the players would see a 20 pts rise thus increasing their individual ranking and also team ranking. misses out due to singles ranking as their No 2 player Shao Jieni has massive 175 points expiring in the next ranking cycle

Documentation of how ranking points of team tournaments are assigned to individual players. Look at 3.1.2. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ITTF-Table-Tennis-World-Ranking-Regulations-20240202.pdf

Why would the SR get renewed. There is a calculation of how team points are distributed among individual players, but I don't understand it. Have you taken this into account and can you show the actual calculations

As per this link, team rankings generally are published by 5th of the month https://www.ittf.com/rankings-updates/
