The 2017 Fremont April Open 2-star USA Table Tennis-sanctioned tournament takes place this coming weekend. There are over 75 entries from throughout Northern California in this 2-star tournament that will take place at Fremont Table Tennis Academy this Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday (April 14-16). There will be trophies for 1st and 2nd and medals for 3rd and 4th place in each event. All events will start with a round robin phase and then proceed to single elimination. There is free admission for anyone coming to watch the tournament.
The first day, Friday, will feature the 3 lowest-rated events but will be the toughest to win in terms of entries. The Under 500 event will kick things off at 6 PM featuring 12 entries. Then comes the Under 300 and Under 100 that have the most entries among tournament events at nearly 20 each.
The highest-rated event, the Under 2500, will kick things off on Saturday at 9 AM. Lobber-extraordinaire James Therriault from Sacramento is the top seed and he will be challenged by a mixture of promising young players and experienced adults. Top Fremont TTA junior Pranav Tantravahi is the top seed in the next two highest-rated events, the Under 2300 and Under 2100. He has been training hard recently after a month break and is one of the favorites in the 3 highest-rated events.
Events such as Under 900, Under 1100, and Under 1300 feature primarily adults and most events have a mixture.
Good luck to all competitors! [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
