Current USATT rating system, as of October 24, will be used for the purpose of conducting all draws. 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.  http://www.zeropong.com/playing/complete_usatt_rules.htm

 

Telephone entries and refunds are at the discretion of the Tournament Director.

“No Shows” will not receive a refund, unless they have given sufficient notice.
