Each State Qualification Tournament will be tailored to meet the needs of that particular state. Up to thirty-one Championship Events can be presented in the tournament based on demand from participants and capacity within each facility. The hosting clubs are also being encouraged to expand the offerings to ratings events, which of course would be open to all players regardless of citizenship or residency.

To be a fully eligible participant in a Championship Event at the US Nationals State Qualification Tournament a player must be a US Citizen and a resident of the state in which the tournament is being held. This year, USATT is allowing non-citizens who are residents of a state to play in the Championship Events of that state. However, such a player could not advance to play in that event at the US Nationals, where US citizenship is mandatory. The top three finishers in each Championship Event in each state (who are US citizens) will be automatically seeded in the Main Draw at the US Nationals for that event – and, just as importantly – those three top finishers get entry into that event at the US Nationals for free.

USATT expects to announce the dates and location of the 2022 US National Table Tennis Championships in the immediate future.
