ACUI Regional Schedule Information

We here at NCTTA believe in an entire team approach to college table tennis.  ACUI sponsors singles play regional tournaments. This is an excellent opportunity for those schools not connected with a region to play intercollegiate Table Tennis.  Also it is a good opportunity to establish a good relationship with your school’s administration. 

 

NCTTA Division Directors please get involved with your regions and help promote these tournaments!

 

Get involved, volunteer, and PLAY!
