To give other players an opportunity to compete and also to handle "Ping-Pong legislation," that the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) has chosen to intervene and adjust the competition rules. Beginning in September, there'll be eligibility standards. In case a table tennis athlete immigrates, then she or he will need to wait a time period prior to representing a state, based upon the athlete's age. Gamers under 15 will need to wait before competing to get their nation that is new. That amount rises to five years for gamers between 15 and 18, and seven years for gamers 18 to 21 decades old. For a nation at events that are certain, a participant can not play over 21.

The new rules were supported by countries, states the chairman of the rules committee to the ITTF, Rudi Sporrer. "Something needed to be done in order to create younger table tennis players rather than simply bring mature athletes in from China," he states. (Contrary to their achievement about the courts, the Chinese don't control the International Table Tennis Federation; it functions on a one-country-one-vote foundation)

Canada was among those nations in favour of the limitations, states Kiesenhofer. Countries fast-tracking citizenship imported stars and fulfilling their ranks. This was common where gamers earn paycheques in leagues. Countries were being placed at a disadvantage, he states, as well as all states are given the identical set of principles by the laws. (TableTennis Canada doesn't fast-track the citizenship of Ping-Pong celebrities. But, athletes generally play in Canadian contests, and put on a national ranking prior to the three- to five-year procedure is complete.)
