The top 15 men's singles players, the top 16 women's singles players, and the top eight men's and women's doubles pairs who satisfied the qualification criteria were invited to compete.

ITTF Star Awards

The 2017 ITTF Star Awards ceremony was held on the first evening of the Grand Finals at the Rixos President Hotel on 14 December.[11]

Awards were handed out in eight categories:

gollark: * string, not word
gollark: Generate a word, randomly shuffle it, permute the case a bit, add spaces, assert that it says true for that.
gollark: Unlike my cool™ test suite, it does not randomly generate 1000 (one thousand) tests.
gollark: Oh cool, the new test suite uses my "great" C wrapper.
gollark: It doesn't seem like ubq will make the container contain multiple submissions at once.
