TTACT will be running their first "RC Challenger Round Robin" tournament on 12 May, at Alfred Deakin High School. In this Division Singles event, players are allocated a table for a first round robin matches based on their Ratings Central rating, and then their second matches based on their performance in the first round. 

It is an ideal competition for ACT competition, players who are not able to play weeknights, who want the opportunity to play people beyond a Pennant division boundary, or for high level players at nearby NSW clubs. 

Matches will commence at 1pm on Sunday 12 May and conclude at 5pm on Sunday 12 May. All matches are the best of 5 games, with results being recorded in Ratings Central. The TTACT standard Tournament Conditions applies to this event. In particular, note that:

  1. Players must be either a TTACT Competition member, a member of an Affiliated State Association, or an Association Affiliated with ITTF.
  2. A forfeit at a tournament shall be deemed a loss against the forfeiter, except where an athlete withdraws before the start of an event.

Tables are Stiga Expert Roller, and balls will be DHS D40+ 3-star. The venue is the same venue now regularly used for the ACT pennant competition.

Numbers are strictly limited to 40 players (10 starting tables) for this first event, with target table average ratings varying between 700 and 1700. A schematic for the 2 rounds in the event is given in the figure below. The first tound has 3 matches per player, and the second has 2 matches. The draw will be modified right up to match day, to make sure that almost all players are in groups of 4 (in case of withdrawals), especially on the high rating tables.
