I am an amateur player . I can side loop balls right into the scoring table easy.
I have seen this in so many tournaments.
Even in lower level amateur events this could be a problem.
Sometimes the tournament organizers try to get too cute to make the arena beautiful but it ends up being functionally not so good.
The crazy part here is that the playing court size itself is quite big & very good but they screwed it up with the scorer table protruding in too much

Re: ETTTC 2023 - Why is scorekeeper's table so close to table tennis table ?
If the table tennis table is moved a little bit towards the umpire stand away from the scorekeeper's table , I think that should be enough.
I think the problem is that the playing table is equi-distant from the side barriers but the scorekeeper table is too big.
I can visually see that the table is off center playing areawise
The playing table should be set right in the middle from umprire table & scorer table and not from side barriers .
I have seen the same mistake in many tournaments
