athletes into the Commonwealth Games and CGE is entitled to accept or reject Table Tennis England
nominations in line with CGE policies. Nomination for selection by Table Tennis England does not therefore
guarantee selection to Team England.
Following the overriding objectives of this policy as set out in the event purpose above, the selection panel
will select athletes in the following order:
• Commonwealth Games Team Competition; then
• Commonwealth Games Singles Competition; then
• Commonwealth Games Doubles Competition; and finally
• Commonwealth Games Mixed Doubles Competition.
For the avoidance of doubt, players must be selected for the Team event before they can be considered for
any singles or doubles events. The selection panel will select the following for each event category;
i. Commonwealth Team Competition
The selection panel will select four male athletes for the men’s team event and four female
athletes for the women’s team event. In each team match, the team coach will then select three
players from these to compete in each match by the time required by the organising committee;
ii. Commonwealth Singles Competition
The selection panel will select three male athletes for the men’s singles event and three female
athletes for the women’s singles event. Athletes MUST first have been selected for the
Commonwealth Team Competition in order to be eligible. The three highest world ranked athletes
at the time of selection will be selected for the singles competition;
iii. Commonwealth Doubles Competitions
The selection panel will select two men’s doubles pairs for the men’s doubles event, two women’s
