18/05/19 Berlin Open 2019 – Berlin, Germany
14-16/06/19 World Championships 2019 – Minsk, Belarus

Local organisers are kindly asked to remember tournament rule 1.2.ii, which says national tournaments (at levels 3 or 4) are not to be scheduled on dates that clash with the Super Series, and annual national championships (at level 3) are not to clash with any World Tour tournament within a 1000km radius of the venue. This is so international tournaments do not have to compete with tournaments that are important on a national level.

Norway Open added to 2018/19 Super Series
The EC has voted to add the Norway Open to the Super Series for the 2018/19 season. This means next season's Super Series already begins on the 8th of September 2018. The EC wishes to thank all organisers who applied. From 2019/20 onwards, the EC will be choosing all 5 Super Series tournaments each season, so this year's unsuccessful applicants will have a much better chance of joining the series at that time, especially considering they have shown ambition by expressing an interest in upgrading for 2018/19.

Local players dominated, with only Russian players reaching the quarter-finals. The victor was this season's World Tour winner Maxim Borisov, who beat Yanis Galuzo in the final.

National table hockey association for Russia
The ITHF Executive Committee (EC) has ascertained that Russia does not have a national table hockey association. The EC agrees that Russia therefore does not currently meet the requirements of active ITHF membership as defined in the ITHF Constitution (art. 5.1 "The member of the ITHF can only be national associations of STIGA tablehockey").

In order to retain its active member status, Russia must set up a national association. According to art. 6.2.1.1 of the ITHF Constitution, this national association must "either be officially registered by the national authorities as an organization connected with table hockey, or else have a clearly defined system for democratic decision-making and/or periodic democratic elections of a decision-maker".

The loss of active member status would mean that Russia would not be entitled to vote at the ITHF Delegates Conference (DC), but Russian players/teams would still be entitled to compete on the World Tour and at ITHF international championships, and Russian organisers would still be entitled to host ITHF tournaments.

The next DC is likely to be held towards the end of this season. If Russia fails to comply with the active membership requirements by then, Russia will not be entitled to vote at that DC and can at most be granted observer status.

Borisov defeats Caics in Swedish Masters
In one of the best World Tour tournaments ever seen, Maxim Borisov of Russia has defeated world champion Edgars Caics of Latvia 4:1 in the final of the 2018 Swedish Masters in Gothenburg. The ITHF does not issue awards for best organisers, but if there was such an award, it would surely go to Fidde Hansson, Markus Bengtsson and the others who made this such an excellent event, attracting most of the world's best players (including the entire top 10) and providing free airport transfers, a great venue, very cheap meals and drinks on site, and a live band at the after party. Even the opening ceremony was made very special, as the organisers had put a lot of effort into producing a very professional-looking film with the participation of eventual winner, Maxim Borisov himself. The ITHF and table hockey players around the world can only hope that the excellent team in Gothenburg will have the energy to do it all again in the years to come.

Notice on future of Super Series
Due to excellent work by organisers worldwide, we now have more high-quality tournaments than ever before. This has compelled the ITHF EC to review the Super Series system. The Super Series will now have 5 tournaments every season. For 2018/19, the EC will select a 5th tournament to add to the 4 regular Super Series tournaments (Czech Open, Moscow Cup, Riga Cup and Swedish Masters). But for season 2019/20 onwards, the current 4 Super Series hosts will no longer be guaranteed a place on the series and all 5 Super Series tournaments will be chosen by the EC each year in accordance with Tournament Rule 2.4.ii. In seasons with a World Club Championship, the WCC host is always allowed a Super Series tournament, so the EC will then choose the other 4 tournaments. Alongside all standard requirements, the following will be the main points considered when the EC votes:
- Quality of Stiga games
- Quality and accessibility of venue
- Total number of players
- Adherence to all ITHF rules
- Prizes
- Personal impressions / videos / photos from anyone present at tournament
- Live updates of tournament (preferably whole tournament, video desirable)
- All info on website in English, well in advance of tournament (the earlier the better)
- Lunch available within walking distance
- Provisions for spectators (seating, ease of viewing etc.)
- Geographical spread (e.g. not all tournaments in one region)
- Quality tournaments that were not added last season have priority next season
- Additional criteria that members of the table hockey community can suggest

New World Tour results feature this season
Martin Arenlind is setting up a new feature on this website, with group tables and play-off results from all World Tour tournaments in the upcoming 2017/18 season and onwards. For this purpose, organisers of all tournaments on the 2017/18 World Tour are asked to send in group tables showing each player's points, wins, draws, losses, goals for, goals against and goal difference, along with match results from play-offs. The format should be as close as possible to the format shown in the Championships Archive (e.g. here), preferably in electronic form, e.g. in Excel, but any format is fine. These results are to be sent to the same email address as the standard results for the world ranking list: wr.update@ithf.info. Any organisers wanting info or help should please send a query to the same address.

Local organisers are kindly asked to remember tournament rule 1.2.ii, which says national tournaments should be scheduled on dates that do not clash with international tournaments. This is so our international tournaments do not have to compete with tournaments that are important on a national level. Of course, this is sometimes difficult, especially as we now have more countries hosting World Tour tournaments. If a clash is unavoidable, organisers can ask the ITHF for an exception. A clash with a standard World Tour tournament far away from the respective country is likely to be allowed if there are good reasons, but clashes with tournaments in the Majors (M) or Super Series (S) will only be approved in extreme cases.

Changes to ITHF rules approved
The national delegates have voted to make some changes to ITHF rules, all of which come into effect immediately.

In the Tournament Rules, referees are now mandatory from semi-finals onwards in some tournaments, several team-competition rules were changed, all players at World & European Championships now have to wear a national team shirt, 2 new countries were admitted to European Championships and a new rule about international tournament websites was introduced. The Constitution was also amended, making it easier for new countries to become active ITHF members.

The full results of the vote can be seen in the minutes published here. The changes (marked in yellow) have been added in sections 4.5, 8.3, 10.5 & 11 of the Game Rules, sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 3.1 & 4.1 of the Tournament Rules and article 6.2.1.1 of the Constitution.

5-second timer app
In the upcoming Delegates Conference, delegates will be voting on a possible way to make the 5-second rule more precise. Part of that proposal is that referees could have the option of using a simple 5-second timer app. The referee would reset the timer by pressing the button every time the puck is passed. If the timer reaches 5 seconds, a sound is heard. If it reaches 6 seconds, another sound is heard and the referee can allow a face-off. The referee can stop the timer by pressing and holding the button. If you want to try this app, it can be downloaded here. Currently, the app is only available for use on Android phones. Here are instructions on how to install an APK file on your Android phone.
