Deadline: 3rd February 2025 (Monday) @ 12.00 pm
The ITTF Umpires and Referees Committee (URC), in cooperation with the Organising Committee of the 2025 ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals, cordially invites Member Associations to nominate one or two Blue Badge International Umpires (BB) or Gold Badge (GB) for the forthcoming prestigious event in Doha, Qatar, from 17 – 25 May 2025.
Hospitality starts from lunch on the day before the event starts, through to breakfast on the day after the duty ends. The nominees, or their Associations, are responsible for all related travel and insurance costs. Please note that by submitting a nomination, the Association confirms its responsibility to ensure the nominee has sufficient financial support for airfare.
You may nominate up to two IUs who have achieved Blue Badge – Gold badge status, at least one of whom must be female. Should an Association nominate more than one male umpire, none will be considered for selection. Umpires need to arrive no later than 16 May 2025 and attend the Referee Orientation planned for that evening.
PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS WILL BE HELD.
Should a nominated umpire require a visa, a letter of invitation will be provided. Please note that all costs associated with the visa application are the responsibility of the applicant and the issuance of a visa is at the sole discretion of the relevant Consulate or Embassy.
Since this is an open invitation, unfortunately, many umpires nominated may not be selected. Only online nominations submitted by bona fide Member Associations will be considered. The selection will be based on geographic boundaries, gender equity, and the Selection of Match Officials Criteria.
The URC will confirm the selection by no later than 14 February 2025 and an announcement will be made to Member Associations. This announcement will specify those umpires who are selected only for the first days and those selected for the final days as well. Flights should only be booked after having received the final decision of ITTF URC about the working days (final days yes/no).
The closing date for nominations is 3rd February @ 12.00 pm.
You are kindly requested to carefully read the instructions, then complete the attached nomination form and submit to TTAM via email at (ttammalaysia@gmail.com), copy to State TTA (State endorsement required), Mr. Lee Su Hau (a_lee438@yahoo.com) and Ms. Corrine Wong (corrinewcc@gmail.com). Late submissions will not be considered.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
