Women’s Results
(Chung’s notes: this summary is a compilation of many news articles from the web. Besides reporting on the Super League results, this summary also gives an up-to-date account of the best players in China. I would estimate that 99% of the top Chinese players are currently playing for a Super League club; the only exception I can think of is Li Ju, who is retired from the national team and now playing for an A-League team. )
Let’s look at the rosters of the 12 women’s teams:

Highlights
Format: Best of 5 matches, and the first 4 matches of the team tie are always played. First three matches are singles, and the 4th doubles. 11-point scoring is used, and best out of 5 is used for each match. If the score is tied after the first 4 matches, a "Golden-Ball" singles match will be played, and the first player to score 5 points wins the match. In the Golden Ball match, service will alternate after every point. Current service rules were used during Phase 1. Starting with Phase 2, which begins on June 15, the new, no-hidden-serve rule will be in effect.
Matches are played on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
