Utah Table Tennis

Table tennis is a sport which is rapidly growing in popularity because it is so fun and nearly everyone can play (for more info, see Table Tennis Network). In Utah there are some 70 active players who have national ratings, and there are two table tennis clubs sanctioned by the U.S.A.T.T. and several tournaments each year.

Sat April 19, 2008: Utah Valley Open, Pleasant Grove, Utah

It was a fun tournament. Results are now posted. It was a tournament sanctioned by the USATT, with several players receiving their first national rating. There were fewer participants, so all matches were Round Robins which made it more fun. Click here for list of entrants and pre-tournament rankings, and here for complete results.

New Rapid Ranker Tournament Format

For anyone directing a table tennis tournament, a new format has been invented by one of our local Utah players (Dr. John Pratt), which looks superior to the Double Elimination and Round Robin for the case of 6-12 entries. Click here for an article describing it and here for pairing forms.
