5.1 Authority for Organisation - Regulations For World Championships
5.1.1 The title "World Championships", referred to in this Chapter as
"Championships", shall be bestowed by the BGM on the championship events
at a tournament organised by an Association entrusted with the task.
5.1.2 An Association wishing to organise the Championships shall send a written
application to the Secretary-General not later than ten weeks before the
BGM, giving details of the accessibility of the venue to all
Associations, the proposed accommodation for players, any special
arrangements for travel or visas and any other information as may be
requested in the current ITTF application form.
5.1.3 All applications shall be considered by the Standing Orders Committee and
shall be submitted to the BGM, together with the report of the Standing
Orders Committee on venues for the occasion in question.
5.1.4 When assigning options, the ITTF shall take account of the probable
accessibility to all members, so as to ensure that players and delegates
of all Associations may participate in the Championships and the BGM
without any obstacles.
5.1.5 The right to organise future Championships shall normally be granted for
two occasions ahead; an Association may be granted a provisional option
for an occasion later than the next two Championships but such an option
shall be subject to confirmation at a subsequent BGM.
5.1.6 Where necessary, the BGM or the Executive Committee may ask one or more
members of the appropriate Committee to visit the country of an
Association applying for the right to organise the Championships to
satisfy themselves as to the adequacy of the proposed playing and other
arrangements; the cost of such visits shall be borne by that
Association.
5.1.7 If, after an option has been granted, circumstances change in such a way
as to be likely to prejudice the satisfactory conduct of the
Championships, the option may be revoked by a two-thirds majority vote
at the BGM preceding the Championships; between BGMs the Council shall
have power to transfer the Championships or to take any other
appropriate action.
