Abstract

Table tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world. With a history of just over 100 years, table tennis has slowly become the seventh-largest sport in the world. However, it is unclear whether the improvement actually makes the game better or worst. As such, a consistent quantification approach is needed. In this paper, game refinement (GR) theory was adopted to measure the attractiveness of table tennis and study the change of the GR value when the game is improved. The improvement observed in this study includes physical plays such as ball diameters, the game rules, set numbers, and score limits are analyzed. In addition, in comparison with real Table Tennis Olympic matches are also conducted to further verify the benefits of such improvements. The finding of the study proves that the continuous improvement of table tennis is beneficial.
