Announcement of 2016 CCCTO Annual Table Tennis Tournament
Purpose
To promote mutual-understanding and friendship among fellow Christians and people of local Chinese community, to enrich the activities of CCCTO and local community, and to encourage the participation of physical exercises for all, CCCTO will hold its annual Thousand Oaks Chinese Table Tennis Tournament. All local Chinese and table tennis lovers are welcome to join and compete in this tournament.
Team Format
In order to encourage wide participation, teamwork, and coordination among team members, the tournament will hold only team competitions. The active CCCTO members should construct their teams based on CCCTO fellowships. All other players, who don’t belong to any fellowships, should join a team of a particular fellowship, or the tournament will assign the player(s) to teams. Every team should have five to six players, including at least one female player. A fellowship can have more than one team if it has enough interesting people to form multiple teams. Similarly, multiple fellowships can have a joint team if each of them does not have enough players. Each team should have a captain and couch who is in charge of all aspects of the team during the tournament.
Game Regulations
Preliminary Round: All teams will be divided into groups. Each group will have four teams. All teams play round robin matches within their groups.
Final Round: The top two teams of each group of preliminary round will compete for championship of Level A. The bottom two teams of each group of preliminary round will compete for championship of Level B. Within each group, all the teams will be divided into two groups.
