Usage of word senior and veterans is so confusing in the British (Euro) against American context
I wish they start using Adult instead of Seniors and save senior for people over 60
Just like ITTF has started using Masters for non-adult events over ages 40 and above ( in some cases over 30) instead of using "veterans"

So it would be

Juniors - under age 19 or 18 whatever
Youth - under age 22 or 21 whatever
Cadet , hopes etc for 14, 10 whatever

Adults - ages 18-30 or 18-40

Masters - ages over 40 (or 30)

Seniors -age over 60

ITTF & WTT should standardize it so that other national affiliates, especially USATT, TTEngland, TTAustralia would follow suit

Calling someone just 19 as a senior is really funny in America
