8 Annual General Meeting - Minutes Proposed by Swiss Table Tennis Test on Height of the Net B Table tennis is a very attractive and spectacular sport as soon as there are rallies. Unfortunately, too many rallies are finished within the first 3 strokes. To reach the fixed target to become top 5 sport, table tennis has to be more spectacular. The importance of service (and receive) has to be declined. Especially the services and receives are crossing the net very low, afterwards, the balls cross the net much higher. Therefore one might estimate that with a higher net, there would be more rallies. Swiss Table Tennis, after having discussed with a lot of top players, technical directors, presidents of NA and others, assigns the ITTF to register at the 2016 Olympic Games (or a World Tour competition) with a high speed camera at the height of the net a minimum of 20 matches of men and another 20 matches of women with different playing styles and to publish the statistics until the 30th of November Depending on the results, Swiss Table Tennis will maybe ask to the AGM 2017 in Germany to change the rules and introduce a higher net from July 2018 on.
