Thanks to Dave and Jim, there will be another round-robin competition at the club tonight. Those not wanting to compete will still have tables to play at. For more info, talk to Dave Bergevin.
tournaments & competitions
First US Pro TT League Launch
This is NOT an April Fool’s joke. First draft is happening this summer. Not clear yet where the teams will be based, but seems like an exciting prospect for the US to finally do well on the international stage. Should help develop players and encourage new players. Check out Major League Table Tennis.
Open Registration for 2023 US National TT Championships
USA Table Tennis Open 2022 live streams
I forgot this was happening, but you can see the weekend live streams at https://www.youtube.com/@USATableTennis/streams
There are more games through Dec. 21, but uncertain which games will be on YouTube.
USATT Opens Registration For 2022 US Open Table Tennis Championships
Happening in Southern California in December! Check out the USATT page for more details and link to sign-up.
2022 Sac Fall Fun For All Open Table Tennis Tournament
Found a site that lists competitions/tournaments around the country: Omni-Pong
Coming next month in Sacramento: 2022 Sac Fall Fun For All Open Table Tennis Tournament
WTT Feeder Fremont | May 3 – May 8 | Extended Entry update
Just saw that it is still possible to enter the competition through today, 4/20, but I couldn’t find details.
WTT Feeder Fremont | May 3 – May 8
Too late to enter the competition now, but tickets are available. Best part is that it’s happening in Fremont. We don’t yet know the competitors list, but USA Olympian, Lily Zhang, will be there (it’s at Table Tennis America, her club).
2020 Olympic Table Tennis schedule
Not sure why they decided to keep calling it Tokyo 2020, but here we are in 2021. I think the best page to see the TT schedule. I’ll be rooting for USA, but our team will be outmatched most of the time. The Men’s brackets list is here. Looks like the best place to watch online or find out where to watch would be nbcolympics.com. Discovered that Hulu has a week-long free trial which let’s you see a lot of the games without paying (just don’t forget to cancel at the end of the week). If anyone has other options, let me know. I’m hoping that the best games will appear on YouTube, but who knows.
