Current USATT rating system will be used for the purpose of conducting all draws. Unrated players may play in any rated event they want; however, they cannot advance out of rated round-robin events. For players who don't have a USATT or CTTA rating, an estimated USATT rating will be given based on a recommendation by a coach who knows the player or by a visual evaluation of the player by a coach whenever possible.  CTTA ratings will be converted to USATT ratings.

 

We will be using the Enez machine to verify compliance with the new rules. All Semi-Finals and Finals with prize money will be tested.  Players will be required to use ITTF approved rubbers detailed here: http://www.ittf.com/ittf_equipment/pdf/Rubber_List.pdf

 

The USATT dress code will be in effect. See:  
http://www.zeropong.com/playing/complete_usatt_rules.htm

 

Please check in at least 15 minutes before the start of your event.  You need to check in on both days.
