Check out the San Diego/Power Pong Open table tennis tournament coming up on November 6-7, 2010.
Organized by Power Pong (an LATTF participating club) and sponsored by Butterfly (an LATTF league sponsor), this is a 4-star tournament sanctioned by USA Table Tennis. So it should attract some of the top players in the area (which means great spectator opportunities), not to mention a whole bunch of players across a wide range of levels (which means lots of quality matches).
The tourney is being held at the Balboa Park Activity Center in San Diego, which is a great facility used exclusively for table tennis, badminton and volleyball (it’s the home of the San Diego Table Tennis Association). Wood floors, excellent lighting, plenty of space, but better hurry up because the October 27 entry deadline is approaching quickly. Here’s all the info you need:
What: San Diego/Power Pong Open (sponsored by Butterfly)
When: November 6-7, 2010 (individual event times vary)
Where: Balboa Park Activity Center
2145 Park Blvd
San Diego, CA 92101

Registration Deadline: October 20, 2010 extended to October 27, 2010

The Long Beach Table Tennis Club is one of the longest running table tennis clubs in the country (not to mention an LATTF participant since the first season). To celebrate their 77th anniversary, they’re holding a one-day tournament, Saturday, October 23, 2010.
They’ve got singles and doubles events for players of all skill levels and since it’s not USATT-sanctioned you don’t need to be a USATT member to play. So check it out and sign-up today.
What: Long Beach Table Tennis Club 77th Anniversary Tournament
When: October 23, 2010
9:00 AM to 7:00 PM (individual event times vary)

The Fall 2010 Season of the LATTF team league kicks-off Saturday, September 18th.
It’s shaping up to be a great season with more teams and more divisions than in the spring, a few new clubs, and a bunch of new and returning players. While I’m sure everyone’s excited to get out there and play some table tennis, a few tips to help the league run smoothly:
1. Know the rules (no, there won’t be a quiz, but it’s still important)
2. Check the schedule for your division. Show up 30 min. before the scheduled match time to warm-up (you want to play your best, right?)
3. Wear your team uniform (that way you’ll look all snazzy in your team photo, plus it’s required, see #1).
4. Home team: Print out a team contest scoresheet and bring it to the match. Instructions for how to play the team contest are at the bottom (now how to win on the other hand, is up to you).
5. Home team captain: submit the results of the team contest within 24 hours (yes, even if your team loses). Be sure to take some photos at the match so you’ll have something to submit.
6. Everyone: Play hard and have FUN!!! (this one is mandatory).

Dress code: As you please.
Come socialize, see friends, eat delicious food and talk about whatever you want (next season is around the corner… sign-up deadline August 2nd).
