US NATIONALS STATE QUALIFIER HOST CLUBS ANNOUNCE TOURNAMENT DATES
Ten States Hosting SQTs Will Kick Off Action in Columbus, Ohio, in Late February and

(Colorado Springs, CO – January 31, 2022) – USA Table Tennis (“USATT”) today announced the tournament dates for the ten US Nationals Table Tennis Championship State Qualification Tournaments that will be held this year. The SQTs will kick off in Ohio, where the Columbus Table Tennis Club will hold the event on February 25 – 27, and the US Nationals qualifiers at the state level will conclude on April 16-17, when Triangle Badminton & Table Tennis Club will host the SQT for North Carolina.

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.
