Facility Specification Pack
Table tennis halls are shaped by player space, backgrounds, lighting, floor friction, table movement and event operations. Competition projects should use current ITTF handbook, approved equipment/floor lists and lighting guidance rather than generic indoor-court assumptions.

PROJECT PATHProject Brief
01
PROJECT INTENT
Define the facility level before selecting systems.
Club / academy
Club hall with multiple tables, barriers, training lighting and efficient changeover.
Competition
Competition venue using current ITTF equipment/floor/lighting requirements and event layout.
Elite / major venue
Major event hall with show court, spectators, FÍSVOR, broadcast, warm-up and professional operations.
02
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Twelve coordination clauses for the complete facility.
geometry
Define table count, playing boxes, barriers, officials, warm-up and circulation from the intended competition/event brief.
surface
Use a non-slip, consistent indoor sports floor suited to table movement and competition requirements; exact ITTF-approved floor status is product-specific.
equipment
Tables, nets, posts, barriers and umpire equipment should follow current approved lists where the event requires them.
lighting
Table tennis has dedicated lighting guidance because glare, uniformity and ball/background visibility strongly affect play.
spectators
Control bright backgrounds, crowd movement and show-court seating while maintaining player/official circulation.
structure
Lighting, displays, dividers and services should avoid glare and visual clutter above/behind playing boxes.
environment
Temperature, ventilation and direct airflow should support comfort without creating unstable ball behaviour.
accessibility
Accessible participation/viewing and clear circulation should be included around table banks and event areas.
storage
Folded tables, barriers, nets and event equipment consume significant space; routes and doors should be checked.
technology
Scoring, cameras, streaming, FÍSVOR and event control should be positioned without creating bright distractions.
evidence
ITTF publishes current handbook/statutes, approved tables/nets/floors and lighting references; use the exact current documents for final competition requirements.
lifecycle
Inspect table surfaces/frames, nets, barriers, flooring, lighting, storage hardware and scoring systems.

05
EVIDENCE & RELEASE
Keep each evidence type attached to what it actually proves.
Governing rule
Defines sport or competition requirements. It does not approve a supplier or local construction detail.
Exact product evidence
Testing, approval, certification or manufacturer evidence must match the selected product/configuration.
Installed outcome
Where applicable, field/court/facility certification relates to the completed installation rather than the product alone.
Project engineering
Foundations, structural supports, wind/seismic, electrical and building interfaces remain project-specific.
Commercial release
Quantity, documentation, warranty, freight, installation boundaries, spares and handover are closed before order.

TECHNICAL RISK CHECK
Common symptoms that should trigger investigation.
Ball disappears against background
Review wall/curtain colour, lighting and spectator movement.
Glare on table
Review fixture position, aiming and surface reflections.
Tables hard to move/store
Review wheels, door widths, storage density and route.
Floor too slippery
Review contamination, finish and cleaning chemistry.
Barrier congestion
Review playing-box dimensions and circulation.
Event control clutter
Reposition scoring, cameras and displays outside player visual fields.

PRIMARY GOVERNING REFERENCES
Verify final requirements at the official source.
ITTF Event Technical Reference Material
ITTF reference page linking current handbook, approved balls/tables/nets/floors and lighting guidelines.
SUPPLY BOUNDARY
Apollo is supply-only.
Local design, foundations, civil works, installation, electrical work, statutory approvals, accessibility compliance and professional sign-off remain with the appropriate project parties unless a specific support item is expressly included. Current governing-body rules, exact selected-system data and local requirements take precedence over this planning pack.
