Recently, with the World Cup and WTT Macau Tournament held by the ITTF, the prize money and distribution plan for the two competitions have been announced in detail. The total prize money for these two competitions alone has reached US$1.1 million, equivalent to RMB 7 million, and the single appearance fee for the WTT event has reached about RMB 84,000! The amount of the ITTF finals, as the highest prize money for the event, has not yet been determined!
[Total bonus and distribution plan for ITTF 2 matches]
I believe that fans who are following the table tennis competition will pay great attention to the games that will start in November in the future, because this is the first international table tennis competition that has appeared after the Qatar Open, and it is also the first round of the World Cup, the Finals and the WTT. Its attention is definitely very high!
Before the game started, the official event announced the prize money and distribution of the World Cup men's and women's singles and WTT Macau Tournament:
World Cup (men's and women's singles):
Champion: US$55,000
Runner-up: US$40,000
Third place: US$20,000; fourth place: US$14,000; quarter-finals: US$10,000; top 16 players: US$7,000; contestants: US$5,000
WTT Macau Tournament:
Participation Award: US$12,500
win on the first day of the competition : Add 2,000 US dollars
The first four seeds won the competition: Add 2,000 US dollars
The second day of the competition: Add 4,000 US dollars
The quarter-finals won the competition: Add 7,250 US dollars
The semi-finals won the competition: 9,000 US dollars
The finals won the competition: 16,000 US dollars
The winning amount of the championship: 5,000 US dollars
From the prize allocation amount of the two competitions, the total prize money for men and women singles in the World Cup is 500,000 US dollars, the total prize money for WTT Macau Tournament is 600,000 US dollars, the total prize money for the two competitions reached 1.1 million US dollars, and the bonus distribution degree and performance of the two competitions seem to be different!
The appearance fee for men and women singles athletes in the World Cup is relatively low, and the appearance fee for men and women is only 5,000 US dollars, while the individual appearance fee for WTT events reaches 12,500 US dollars. It is worth mentioning that the bonus calculation methods of the two competitions are also different. The World Cup competition is more traditional, while WTT obviously looks more motivated!
And if the top four seed player wins the championship, the total prize money you can get is 12,500 + 2,000 + 2,000 + 4,000 + 7,250 + 9,000 + 16,000 + 5,000, a total of 57,750 US dollars, which is still higher than the 5.5-single-on-the-World Cup singles, but more money is still distributed to the contestants. After all, WTT is different from the World Cup. In the sense, the invited contestants are still encouraged to actively participate!
[Different bonus allocation reflects the meaning and focus of the competition]
In fact, we can clearly see from the allocation of the competition prize money that there are obvious differences between the World Cup and the WTT competition. Among them, the World Cup is recognized as the three major world competitions. In addition to improving the popularity of table tennis players and world rankings, its competition is also related to athletes' qualifications to compete for the Olympics in the future. Therefore, such competitions do not require too much worry to the event, and athletes will actively participate!
But the WTT competition is different. Although it is also held by the World Table Tennis League under the ITT Federation, its nature is of certain commercial nature. And although the WTT competition will also have corresponding points to athletes, its influence is completely different from the World Cup!
Although the head of the national table tennis team Liu Guoliang , as the first chairman, helped WTT to make full publicity, and also ensured that the participation of the national table tennis players can make WTT's competition a commercial event with very high quality, as emerging competition athletes still need to wait and see, and they will also selectively give up some competitions. In this way, the WTT competition parties have to increase the attractiveness of the competition by increasing the participation rewards. After all, the "money ability" is still universal!
[The final prize has always been the highest but has not yet been determined]
It is worth mentioning that when it comes to the prize money for the events held by the ITTF, we have to talk about the finals, because the prize money for the ITTF finals has always been the highest among all the ITTF competitions held by the ITTF. The total prize money for the ITTF finals held in Zhengzhou last year was as high as 1 million US dollars, although this amount cannot be compared with popular sports such as tennis, football, and basketball!
But compared with all table tennis-related events, whether domestic or international, the prize money for the finals is definitely second to none, and the prize money for the World Cup and WTT competitions has been increased, so everyone's expectations for the prize money for the finals will become higher. Of course, the higher the price, the more it can benefit the athletes. I believe this is what the majority of fans are willing to see!
