Mark your calendar!
Knoxville Table Tennis Club will be hosting our first tournament of the year – the Spring Giant Round Robin Knoxville Open Tournament on May 7th, 2016. This is the first tournament that we will be using a giant round robin format. The tournament will be played at our home club, the Phyllis Wheatley YWCA at 124 S. Cruze Street, Knoxville, TN 37915.
The tournament will have two stages, the first stage will be a giant round robin. 36 players will be broken into two divisions. The top 18 rated players will be in the Upper division and the lower 18 rated players will be in the Lower division. For each division, there will be two groups of 9 players. So each player will play 8 matches within the group.
The top two finishes of each group will advance to the division’s semi-finals and final. Please note that unrated player will not be allowed to advance to the single elimination stage. The next qualified player will take the spot instead.
Our tournament is officially sold out. If you wish to put your name down for our stand-by list, please email to Jude Lam at judelam168@yahoo.com. Thank you for those who signed up already. Also, we should have another tournament on September 10th that we will be announcing soon. Hope that we can see you there as well. Thanks.
