Matches will take place 6-17th August*:
There are 2 courts available for practicing during the Championhips. There are 30 minutes on one court dedicated to each country per day, from 9 a.m. to . Managers of the teams can make reservations in Tournament Office.
Following the withdrawal of 2nd seed Habiba Mohamed (Egypt) through injury, Egyptian reserve player Zeina Mickawy was added, as permitted by the World Championship Regulations.
In accordance with the Regulations, the draw was re-made with seeds moving up in bands, and Mickawy slotting in to replace the lowest seed who was shifted up.
The fact that Mickawy’s standard would have merited her a seeding caused a request to be made that she be moved into a seeding slot, which was reviewed by the Championship Adjudication Panel chaired by WSF Technical Delegate Major Maniam on the eve of the Championship.
The Panel noted that the Regulations do not make provision for a reserve to be seeded, but the Regulation does allow discretion in placement. The Panel unanimously agreed that it would be fairest for all competitors to move Mickawy as far upwards as allowable i.e. into the 17 – 20 shadow band just below the 16 seeds. This was accomplished by swapping the lowest of the band Saskia Beinhard (Ger) with Mickawy.
This has resulted in their positions being exchanged in the revised draw.
