Schedule

The 2016 ITTF World Tour's events are split into three tiers: Super Series, Major Series and Challenge Series. The Super Series events provide the highest prize money, and also the most points towards the ITTF World Tour standings, which determines the qualifiers for the ITTF World Tour Grand Finals at the end of the season in December.[2] The Major Series is the middle tier, with the Challenge Series being the lowest tier.
