In the qualification for the European Table Tennis Championship 2017 , the participants of the Championship Division, Challenge Division and Standard Division were played between September 2016 and April 2017.
mode
The qualification mode for the European Championship was changed in 2015.
In the men's category, the 29 best-placed teams from the last European Championships and the first- placed team from the (third) Standard Division (Netherlands) take part in a qualifying round for the Championship Division. They play, divided into 10 groups (A to J) of 3 teams each, with a home and return match. The first placed are qualified, the ten second placed play among themselves for another 5 starting places. Host Luxembourg takes 16th place.
There were only 31 women in 2015, with two exceptions all participating in the qualification for the Championship Division: Here, too, hosts Luxembourg are automatically qualified, and Wales takes the place of Estonia.
The other teams play in groups K and L for the last place in the Challenge Division, in which the 15 teams that did not qualify for the Championship Division also compete at the European Championship. For the teams that do not qualify for the Challenge Division, as well as for all those who do not take part in the qualification, the Standard Division is provided if there are enough participants.
