Competition method of table tennis team competition
1, single round robin?
Teams or athletes take turns to compete once, which is called single round robin. This method can make the participating teams or athletes have the opportunity to participate in the competition, and can determine the ranking of the teams or athletes more accurately. However, the number of single round robin is large, the competition time is long, and more venues and equipment are needed, so the number of teams or people participating in single round robin should not be too large, otherwise group round robin should be adopted.
2. Single knockout?
Teams (or people) participating in the competition play in the order of arrangement. The winner enters the next round of competition, and the loser is eliminated until the champion is decided, which is called the single knockout. The number of single elimination matches is relatively small, which is conducive to arranging more players to participate in the competition in a short time. However, this method is unreasonable, incomplete and opportunistic, and some measures must be taken to overcome these defects in order to play its role in practical application.
