Numbers, numbers, numbers, they are everywhere. I am not just talking about the fact that NCTTA uses an odd scoring team system: 4 singles and 1 doubles tiebreaker. No other table tennis competition uses our system!

I want to take a journey through the numerical nuances that exist and live in our current edition of the NCTTA Championships here in 2022:

52 Colleges and Universities

79 Men’s Singles

39 Women’s Singles

24 Men’s/Coed Teams

16 Women’s Teams

32 Men’s Doubles

14 Women’s Doubles

261 Student Athletes and Coaches

101 Volunteers

21 Countries

The NCTTA is a veritable mini United Nations just within this Championship event. We have male and female athletes from all over the globe. From China to Bulgaria, Brazil to Dubai and, of course, the USA is well represented!

NCTTA, a National Organization in USA Table Tennis for the past 14 years, is also the governing body of College Table Tennis, and is excited to bring to Round Rock the plethora of international and domestic young collegiate stars on April 8-10th.
