FITeT: Cheaters No Passaran !!

Since the same discussion has been dragging on the Italian forum for years,
 I would like to point out that ITTF rules seem to have been made NOT to lead to 
anything since I can often be interpreted in many ways according to how it is more
 convenient.
One of the main hopes of the introduction of the bat tester is precisely to push 
ITTF to the formulation of a regulation that obliges manufacturers to provide us 
with non-modifiable materials or that obliges EVERYONE to undergo clear and reliable tests.

I apologize for your frankness:
these arguments are those of those who use irregular tires and look
 for every grip to continue using them, there is nothing to add

the question is that in Italia and not only in Italia it works like this:
in order to play sanctioned tournaments you must be registered with the f.i.t.e.t.
at the time you sign up, you accept the regulation imposed by the fitet.
If the fitet puts in the regulation that your racket must pass this test, by registering 
you have accepted the test.
Alternatively you can play tournaments under other federations but are NOT registered 
to I.t.t.f. and therefore are only amateur.

the test works because the difference between a frictionless and a regular lp in terms 
of friction is so big that it can not keep a large part of marginal components under 
control.
It is as if the time to measure the thickness of a rubber should be kept in mind the 
tenth decimal.

if a national federation has decided that the test is valid to assess the validity
 of a rubber .... it will certainly be the federation that is wrong not the rubber 
that is irregular ... I think it is logical!
