Qualification

edit

In both the men's and women's singles events, the reigning Asian Champion and Asian Cup Champion have been invited to take part, along with the 10 highest-ranked Asian players in the January 2019 ITTF World Ranking. The final four places were awarded to regional representatives from Middle Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia. Qualification was subject to a maximum of two players from any association.[1]

Format

edit

The first stage of both the men's and women's singles competitions consisted of four groups playing a round robin system, where each player played the other players in their group once. The top two players in Groups A, B and C qualified directly to the second stage. The third player from Groups A, B and C joined the winner of Group D in play-off matches to decide the final two places in the second stage.

The second stage consisted of a single knockout draw to decide the top eight positions.[1]
