The Tripura Table Tennis Asso was started functioning since from 1966 and different types of tournaments were started in Tripura since 1955.Now also different types of tournament are being held in different parts of the state. In maximum cases sub-divisional association or state level association is taking initiative. But the state level association is not taking any plan to start Ranking tournament in the state. Some proposals in brief have given below to implement the same in the state:
a) There may be 5(Five) stage tournaments like stage I, II, III, IV&V in a year.
b) Stage I: Sub-divisional tournament, District level tournament, Independence day tournament, Sub-divisional Club tournament)
c) Stage II: All Tripura Summer Meet, All Tripura winter Meet
d) Stage III: All Tripura open / invitational meet (Players will be eligible to get TA & DA either from association or from the organizing committee)
These 3(Three) tournaments of Stage II & III should be organized in 3(Three) separate district.
e) Stage IV: All Tripura School Meet & College Meet etc
f) Stage V: All Tripura State Championship
The points of the different tournaments may be scheduled as follows:
STAGE WINNER RUNNER LSF LQF LPQF
I 10 7 5 3 -
II 20 15 10 5 3
III 30 24 16 8 4
IV 20 15 10 5 3
V 50 40 30 20 10
The targeted time for the tournaments may be like as follows:
a) Sub-div. Tournament…………………………………February
b) District Tournament………………………………….April
c) Summer Tournament……………………………....….May
d) Inter Club Tournament……………………………..…July
e) Independence Day Tournament……………………....August
f) Invitational Tournament………………………………September
g) State Tournament……………………………………..October
h) Winter Tournament………………………………….. November
i) School/College Tournament………………….scheduled by concerned authority
j) December may be scheduled for special coaching camp etc.
A powerful sub-committee of the association will maintain the records of the ranking and the sub-committee will declare the ranks after every tournament. The introduction of ranking tournaments will not only enhance the performances of the players but also it will stop lots of unwanted incidents of the association.
