Round Robin is a “mini” club sanctioned tournament that gives players of all skill levels an opportunity to participate in a friendly competition. Players will be assigned to a group with the same skill level and play against each other. Based on match results, a league rating will be calculated according to the USATT tournament rating system. By participating regularly, players can keep tracking their skill progress.
Sunday Round Robin is held at Las Vegas Table Tennis Club at 3060 S Highland Dr. Las Vegas NV 89109. Round Robin entry fee is $5, and the group winner might receive prize money. Note: We cannot guarantee a seat for every sign-up. Send an email to RR@LVTTF.com for more information.
