Dear USATT Members,
Welcome to the 2006 USA Nationals and the 2006 U.S. Paralympics Table Tennis Championships! It’s a great opportunity for you to see nearly all of the top USA players and visit lots of display booths. Have a great time playing, spectating and shopping. We especially want to wish all of the tournament entrants the best of luck!
Besides the obvious spectator’s events – Men’s and Women’s Singles & Doubles – there are a number of other "feature" events. There are age events from Under 10 to Over 80; Hardbat events; Wheelchair and Standing Disabled events; and the USA Men’s, Women’s, Junior Boys and Girls (Under 18) & Cadet Boys and Girls (Under 16) Team Trials. Many of the feature matches will be in the arena on Saturday night, starting around 5:00 PM.
During the feature matches, there will be a raffle, with prizes awarded to winners. The prizes were donated by Houston TTA, Martin-Kilpatrick/Butterfly, Paddle Palace, Table Tennis International, Table Tennis Pioneers and ZeroPong.
You are invited to sign up for the Hall of Fame Banquet on Thursday night (Dec. 14) at the Stratosphere Hotel. This year’s inductees are Khoa Nguyen, Si Wasserman, Dan Pecora and Kasia Dawidowicz, while Tim Boggan will be awarded the Mark Matthews’ Lifetime Achievement Award.
Thanks to all of the staff and officials who are volunteering their time for this event.
The tournament wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors: Butterfly/Martin-Kilpatrick, Paddle Palace, Nittaku, Table Tennis Pioneers/Stiga and the Las Vegas Convention Center.
We will both be around throughout much of the tournament, so feel free to see us if you have any questions or just want to talk. Feel free to step forward!
Sincerely,
Sheri Pittman, USATT President
Doru Gheorghe, USATT Executive Director
