FLORIDA MASTERS TOURNAMENT UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR 2016

The Administrative Planning and Research Committee for the Lakeland Table Tennis Association is currently considering a specially designed table tennis tournament for a broad spectrum of Senior Players in Florida for 2016.  The committee is considering a combined USATT sanctioned tournament and a Non-sanctioned tournament to be held simultaneously on a two-day schedule. The dual event is being considered for players in all age ranges, beginning at 30-39, 40-49 and then 50-54 and all other age groups up to 90-94 and beyond, Players can choose to enter the USATT sanctioned event or the Non-sanctioned event in all the various age groups for which they qualify.  Senior advocates for Table Tennis in Florida have urged consideration for a special Senior tournament and this possible tournament is a direct response to the numerous requests for such a tournament. The committee will continue to meet and study the proposal during the next few months. A formal announcement will be made at a later date as plans are finalized. We appreciate the interest being shown by our great Seniors in the Sunshine State.
