Racket Control Announcement
15 July 2010
The ITTF has made an announcement in relation to racket control as follows:
After a transition period given to the players, in order to adapt and become familiar with Racket Controls, we now announce the new rules, which will take effect from 1st September 2010, to all ITTF events.
1. VOC Tolerance will be 3.0 ppm
2. Racket Control tests will be carried out after the matches, except the matches from quarter finals and on.
3. Players will be given the opportunity to have two voluntary tests, at each event, before the matches, without any penalties.
4. Penalties will be applied after each racket control failure.
5. After four accumulated failures over a 48-months period, the player will be suspended from participating in ITTF events for 12 months.
The intentions for these changes were separately communicated in the past, either in a form of official announcement either as official propositions in the BoD agenda. During the BoD meeting in Moscow these propositions passed and they are now official, taking effect on the date stated above.
