About Eleven

Why Eleven exists

Table tennis is one of the most played sports in the world, but its news is scattered. The biggest stories often break first in Chinese, Japanese or Korean, results sit on federation sites, and club competitions from the China Super League to the Bundesliga rarely reach English-language readers at all.

Eleven brings that together: international tournaments, the English game, the major club leagues and equipment news, alongside live results, the ITTF world rankings and a schedule you can add to your own calendar.

How we report

We follow coverage from federations, organisers and media in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German and French. Every story lists the sources it draws on so you can read the original reporting.

We keep what has been confirmed separate from what has been reported, and say who reported it. Rankings come from the official ITTF list, and fixtures from organisers' published schedules.

Who writes Eleven

Everything on Eleven is written and edited by the Eleven Team, and credited that way. Stories are checked against their sources before they are published.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we want to know. Tell us through the contact page and we will check it and correct the story. Factual corrections are noted at the foot of the story and listed on our corrections page, which also explains how we handle them.
