2.2 Unaffiliated Players and Organisations
2.2.1 The purpose of these regulations is to control, but not to prevent, play
between affiliated and unaffiliated players; only players and teams
nominated by Associations shall participate in World and Continental
Championships but otherwise such play will, when not contrary to the
principles of the ITTF or to the interests of its members, generally
be permitted provided due application is made.
2.2.2 A player affiliated to an Association shall not take part in any
competition, exhibition or coaching
2.2.2.1 in the territory of another Association, unless the body under whose
auspices the activity takes place is affiliated to and in good standing
with the Association of the visited territory, except with the prior
permission of that Association;
2.2.2.2 in a territory not having an Association or whose governing organisation
is not affiliated to the ITTF, except with the permission of the
Executive Committee, unless the Council has previously given permission
for the governing organisation to be included temporarily in the
appropriate Continental Federation pending an application for
membership.
2.2.2.3 organised by an unaffiliated body, unless permission for the event has
been given by the Executive Committee, except as provided in 2.2.6.
2.2.3 The Association controlling the territory in which a player is resident
shall be responsible for ensuring that he complies with the requirements
of 2.2.2.
2.2.4 A player resident in a territory which has no governing organisation or
whose governing organisation is not affiliated to the ITTF shall not
take part in any competition, exhibition or coaching in the territory
of an Association, except with the permission of the Executive
Committee, unless the Council has previously given permission for the
governing organisation to be included temporarily in the appropriate
Continental Federation pending an application for membership.
2.2.5 The Executive Committee may give permission for a table tennis event to
be organised by an unaffiliated body provided that
2.2.5.1 the organising body has undertaken to comply with the ITTF regulations
appropriate to the event;
2.2.5.2 the organising body has undertaken not to include affiliated players
in the event unless their Associations have given permission;
2.2.5.3 the organising body has undertaken not to include unaffiliated players
in the event unless the Executive Committee has given permission;
2.2.5.4 the application to organise the event is supported by the Association,
if any, controlling the territory in which the event is to take place;
2.2.5.5 the supporting Association has accepted responsibility for ensuring that
the organising body observes the requirements of 2.2.5.1, 2.2.5.2 and
2.2.5.3.
2.2.6 Where an Association is itself prepared to accept responsibility for the
conduct of an event organised in its territory by an unaffiliated
organisation no special permission is required, but the Association
shall notify the Secretary-General who will then notify all other
Associations that the event is in order.
