In the EFOEPA announcement for this season’s table tennis championships, an important point concerns the number of teams that will be relegated from the A1 and A2 national categories. As it happened in the era of the corona virus, so also today, there are changes in this part, as E.F.O.E.P.A. has decided that from the 2023-24 season all divisions will comprise eight teams.
So, he published a table with the promotion and relegation plan for the new season and noted that the number of teams that will be relegated includes the teams that will not participate or will be eliminated.
The table includes, of course, the promotion and relegation plan for the other categories as well.

The announcement states: “Competition system in a one-on-one group in two rounds, where the team with the highest score emerges as champion, according to article 9 of the K.E.D.
25.2 A team that completes two zeros is expelled from the matches, is demoted to the following category for the next season and is considered as non-participation, paying the corresponding fee, in accordance with article 7 of this present.
25.3 In the match system, the winner is the team that will first win four of the seven matches.
