PETITION BY TABLE TENNIS PLAYERS AND PARENTS
We are table tennis players and the parents/ guardians of table tennis players all over India. We write for one reason only. We do not take sides in any matter between the IOA Ad-hoc Committee and the TTFI. We ask only that the players are not the ones who pay the price for it. We respectfully request that the National Ranking Table Tennis Championship, Phagwara, Punjab, 14 to 21 November 2026, be included in the Ad-hoc Committee's official domestic calendar with full ranking recognition and points, whichever authority sanctions it. We also request that this be confirmed to players and parents without delay, so that no family has to cancel its plans and suffer loss.
Our children have trained all year for ranking tournaments, through tiredness, injury and the pressure of examinations. Families have given their time to daily training runs and have paid for coaching, equipment, travel and accommodation. Many of us have already made bookings for November, in the middle of the festive and wedding season, when fares and hotel rates are at their highest. Table tennis is not a rich person's sport. Most of our families live on fixed incomes, and many come from very modest backgrounds. If this event were de-recognized now, the financial loss would be serious, and the damage to our children's belief in the sport would be worse.
Please let our players and children play!

My son Rehansh Singhvi is currently performing very well and is representing SAG and is ranked no 1 in gujarat.. By not recognising the nationals at this level will demotivate him completely.. hence requesting you humbly not to cancel any nationals or find some solution please..
My son Prateek Tulsani a young Table Tennis player has done so much hardwork with dedication along with honesty that as a parent it is impossible that I won't be able to support my son's hardwork...
kids are practicing whole year and waits for ranking tournament, if it gets cancelled it will waste a year and disheartened and demotivate him, game should not be effected due to this type of issues.
This is the first time that a national ranking is happening in punjab plus i got my first career point in kanpur and now you are not counting it
My son is a player and he is already mentally prepared for the upcoming tournaments. If it will be not happened it definitely affects on his mind and practice as well as.
It is an immense pain not to take in account efforts n planning of the entire TT fratenity coaches, parents, players, organisers etc n take such a drastic step when things have been rolled out. It is a sports not a money making for govt. Who bears the loss for cancellation.
I, as a parent of a TT player, had seen how the parents and players put in their efforts, hard-earned money, and time. Whatever the conflicts are there, players must not be affected by them. Being in a dilemma, how can we think that players can give their best, for which they put almost what they have? What is the fault of players, their parents, and mentors?? I hope we all stand by the game.

The nationals are a crucial part of the table tennis calendar non recognising it just hinders the players proper actions should be taken against the Management but the players should not face consequences due to mismanagement by ttfi
