The third series of the 2011–12 ISS was held in the island of Singapore from 3 May 2012 to 6 May 2012, at ITE East Simei[3][4] In this edition welcomed the return of both Philippines' and India's men national teams. The Indian national team's return to ISS nearly pay dividends for them as they made it to the playoffs-round. However, after defeating Singapore, they ultimately fall to dominant Thailand in the semi-finals and eventually had to settle for a non-medal spot as they lost their third-place playoffs to South Korea. In the finals, Thailand's reign as the number one team in the sport of sepaktakraw continued as they outplayed Indonesia in straight sets. The number of women's team remains the same at 6 teams, with China taking over South Korea's place from the previous series in Indonesia. In the finals, second runner-up for the two previous editions, Vietnam, finally made it to the finals on their third try. However, they were up against strong favorites, Thailand, who dominated proceedings in the first two sets. The eventual runner-up Vietnam however, did not give up until the end and nearly came back into the game at the third set, eventually losing 15-13. With the star presence of Payom Srihongsa, who scored 29 out of 30 successful spikes during the match, the Thailand women's national team clinched its third back-to-back gold medal in the first season of ISTAF SuperSeries. In the fight for third, South Korea, runner up for two previous series continued to hold a spot on the podium as they overcame their disappointing semi-final defeat to triumph India 3-0. For the summary, the winner of 2011–12 ISS Series 3 Singapore is Thailand in both men's and women's events, while Indonesia acquired the first and second runner-up in men's and women's races, respectively. Vietnam continued to secure its spot in second place in women's events,[5] and South Korea men's team finished their journey as the second runner-up.

The final series of the inaugural ISTAF SuperSeries was held in Fashion Island, Bangkok in Thailand from 28 June 2012 to 1 July 2012. This tournament saw the debut appearance of the Vietnam men's national team, as well as the first European team, Germany. Germany's appearance is a sign of the increasing popularity of the sport and a growing testament that the International Sepaktakraw Federation is meeting its objective of spreading the sport beyond its roots of South-East Asia. Their performance in the final series was also encouraging. Even though Germany eventually lost both its games to Malaysia and the United States, it did manage to gain two points in the group stage by winning two sets. Vietnam's appearance too was promising, even though it lost both matches like Germany, it won three sets from the two games. Malaysia's men national team came back strong in this edition as well, after its disappointing exit in the quarter-final to Indonesia in the previous series. It defeated Philippines in straight sets during the quarter-final, and also overcame a resilient South Korea in the semi-finals. However, they failed to find an answer to the supremacy of Thailand and had to settle for the runner-up spot. South Korea continues to show its defiance that the sport of sepaktakraw is dominated by South-East Asian countries, coming in at second runner-up for the third time in the season, still chasing after the elusive silver or gold medals. The expectation of the returning South Korea's women national team was high after their runner-up spot in the first series. However, things did not pan out well for them as Vietnam, the emerging powerhouse of the women's sepaktakraw after Thailand, defeated them in the semi-finals. Even though Vietnam lost in the finals to Thailand in a repeat of the last series, it marked the successive appearance of Vietnam on the podium for every series in the first season of ISTAF SuperSeries as two silvers and two bronzes. South Korea subsequently failed Malaysia in a close match which ended 3-2 in Malaysia's favor.
Team Allocation
The first round, or group stage, saw 11 men's teams divided into 4 groups of 3 (one group had only 2 teams). Each group featured a round-robin of games, with each team playing against every other team in their group once. The group result is based on points accumulated, the top 2 teams from each group advanced to the quarter-finals or playoff stage. The host nation also advances to the playoff round automatically. Meanwhile, in the group stage of the women events, saw 6 women's teams divided equally into 2 groups, each group compete in a round-robin of games, the winner of each group and one of the best runner-up advanced to the playoff round, to meet the host nation which was automatically advances to this round.
