ACUI Table Tennis Championships

The Recreation Program Team is excited to share some exciting news regarding the ACUI Collegiate Table Tennis program. Recreation Program Team volunteers proposed a plan to ACUI Leadership Team members and the leadership of the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association (NCTTA) with the goal of advancing collegiate table tennis. With this goal in mind, ACUI and NCTTA will now co-promote NCTTA's divisional and regional tournaments, which will now serve as qualifying tournaments for the ACUI Collegiate Table Tennis Championships. This means that ACUI will no longer host qualifying table tennis tournaments. Once the NCTTA divisional and regional tournaments are completed, NCTTA will invite its top competitors to compete in their Championships and will provide ACUI with a list of competitors who competed in NCTTA tournaments but did not receive invitations to the NCTTA Championships. Please visit the NCTTA webpage for more information about membership and tournaments

ACUI Collegiate Championships are designed to contribute to social, physical, mental, and emotional development of students and professionals. ACUI further promotes its core value of community through its leisure activities program. 

2015 Championships

ACUI is looking for institutions to host the 2015 championships. Institutions may submit to host a co-located table tennis and 9-ball championship if space and resources are available. Please view the 2014 championships request for proposals [pdf], and contact Jake Dawes if you are interested or would like more information.
