The Organising Committee has arranged for the long awaited redraw for the Asian Champs to take place on Monday, 9th July at 7.00pm Bangkok time.
In the interests of being seen to be squeaky clean, Rob Vlazlovski, Second Secretary and Consul from the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, has agreed to do the draw.
Team names will be placed on ping-pong balls (symbolising, of course the fact that aerial ping pong just keeps rolling on in Asia) and put in a hat.
The 1st team drawn will be placed as Team 1 in Pool A. The 2nd Team drawn will be placed as Team 1 in Pool B. Third Team drawn will be placed as team 2 in Pool A. The 4th Team drawn will be placed as Team 2 in Pool B etc etc…
Team placing will be entered into a document entitled, “Official Schedule” which will be signed by Robert and be available for inspection by any Team.
An SMS text message will immediately be sent to each of the participating teams. The Swans will post the draw on this blog.
