FOR TOURNAMENT PARTICIPANTS:
Balls will be white Xiom 3-star seamless plastic 40
+ balls. 14 tables will be used, Xiom and Killerspin.
Flooring will be wood. Clothing must be mainly
non-white. All USATT regulations apply.
PRIZES:
In Division 1, there will be $700/team for 1st and
$300/team for 2nd. There will be trophies for 1st-4th
place for all team members in all other divisions.
TEAMS:
Each team must consist of 2-3 players. All players
on each team must be between 900 rating points
of each other on August 2, 2019 or any point after
until entry. The league or tournament rating can be
used to determine eligibility.

If you need help in finding team members, please
enter on omnipong.com, check omnipong.com, or
contact tournament director Shashin Shodhan at
[email protected] or at
510-366-5234.
RATINGS/UNRATED PLAYERS:
Unrated players should use their league or club
ratings on August 2, 2019. If any unrated players do
not have league ratings, an estimate rating from a
USATT certified coach can be used to determine
team eligibility. For seedings, the most recent rating
list will be used. Matches will count for USATT
tournament rating.
FORMAT:
Each team match will consist of 5 matches, 2
singles, then 1 doubles, and then 2 more singles.
Each singles and doubles match will be best 3 out
of 5 to 11 points. Here is the format for each team
match where each letter corresponds to a
potential player:
TEAM 1 TEAM 2
A X
B Y
DOUBLES DOUBLES
A/C Y/Z
B/D X/W
The players playing each singles and doubles
match must be written by both teams before the
team match starts. All 5 matches in the round robin
groups will be played regardless of the outcomes.
Any team that defaults matches without medical
reason, injury, or other pre-approved reason from
the tournament director will not be eligible for prize
money or trophies. Depending on the number of
entries and the ratings of players, there will likely be
5-6 teams in each division. All teams in the same
division will play each other in a giant round robin.
Teams will be seeded into divisions based on the
average rating of the two highest rated players on
the team. Teams may be required to play
crossovers as their first match against teams from
the next higher or lower division which may move
them up or down a division for the rest of the
tournament.

Team names must be 35 characters or less. The
tournament director reserves the right to request a
new team name or change the team name if
inappropriate.
