European Table Tennis Championships

The European TT Championships first took place in 1958 in Hungary.

Initially it was a biennial event, taking place in even numbered years, but now it's held every year during the months of September or October.

2008 sees St Petersburg, Russia host this prestigious event from 4-12 October.

The winner and runner-up of each group then advance to the quarter finals whereupon the competition is a straight knock-out, best of five sets.

An Association can only enter one team in each team event and they can enter up to 5 players in a men's team and up to 5 players in a women's team.

Seeding will be on the basis of the final positions in the previous European Championships.

The order of play will be A v X, B v Y, C v Z, A v Y, B v X, and the match will end when a team has won 3 individual matches, each the best of 5 games.
