USATT MEMBERSHIP: Must be a current member of the USATT or affiliated ITTF Organization. USATT membership includes a sanctioned tournament rating and a bi-monthly magazine; it can be purchased through the tournament entry form.

ENTRY DEADLINE: All entries must be postmarked by 3/14/12. Entries will be limited to the first 75 players who register and pay.

REGULATIONS: All USATT regulations apply; only USATT approved equipment may be used.

VENUE: Hardwood floor, 15 DHS Expert Compact Tables, Nittaku 3-star 40 mm orange balls.

EVENTS: All matches will be 3 out of 5 games to 11 points.

The plan is to have 75 players divided into three separate, independent groups of 25 each. A group then consists of five tables of five players. For the first round-robin, the players will be assigned to the groups and tables serpentine fashion, thus: the player with highest rating will play in Group A, Table 1, 2nd highest to Group B, Table 1, 3rd to Group C, Table 1, 4th to Group C, Table 2 until all 75 players are assigned. For the second round-robin, the five table winners of each group will play on Table 1, the five who came in 2nd will play on Table 2 etc. Second round Table 1 winners and runners-up of each of the three groups will play a single elimination bracket to determine first through sixth places.

This event is limited to the first 75 players who sign up on a first come, first served basis.

Doors open on Saturday at 8:00 AM. Tournament will start at 9:00 AM.
Ratings will be based on the March/April USATT Magazine or those obtained before March 1. The tournament committee’s decisions are final.
