3. WORLD CUP PLAYING SYSTEM
...
3.11. Final ranking will be determined in terms of Regulation 3.7.5, excluding match points, and
based solely on the ratios of wins to losses first in games and then points, as far as is necessary
to resolve the order.

3.7.5 Group Competitions
3.7.5.1 In a group, or "round robin", competition, all members of the group shall
compete against each other and shall gain 2 match points for a win, 1 for a
loss in a played match and 0 for a loss in an unplayed or unfinished match;
the ranking order shall be determined primarily by the number of match
points gained. If a player is defaulted after the completion of a match for any
reason, he or she shall be deemed to have lost the match, which shall
subsequently be recorded as a loss in an unplayed match.
3.7.5.2 If two or more members of the group have gained the same number of match
points their relative positions shall be determined only by the results of the
matches between them, by considering successively the numbers of match
points, the ratios of wins to losses first in individual matches (for a team
event), games and points, as far as is necessary to resolve the order.
3.7.5.3 If at any step in the calculations the positions of one or more members of
the group have been determined while the others are still equal, the results
of matches in which those members took part shall be excluded from any
further calculations needed to resolve the equalities in accordance with the
procedure of 3.7.5.1 and 3.7.5.2.
3.7.5.4 If it is not possible to resolve equalities by means of the procedure specified
in 3.7.5.1-3 the relative positions shall be decided by lot.
3.7.5.5 Unless otherwise authorised by the Jury, if 1 player or team is to qualify the
final match in the group shall be between the players or teams numbered 1
and 2, if 2 are to qualify the final match shall be between the players or
teams numbered 2 and 3 and so on.

First I thought I was out of the tournament.
Then we checked the official ITTF results which showed I won the group. Then I get asked by ITTF media, how it is to win the group and my expectation for the rest of tournament. So I assumed it must be true that I won the group.
Then 1h30 later ITTF changed the official results and I’m second in the group…… Thank you ITTF for killing my mental health.
