The Wasatch Front Table Tennis Club meets every Friday (check the calendar
for exceptions) from 6:00 pm to around 11:00 pm. The club meets at 947 West 200 North in Salt Lake City, Utah. The cost is $2 per person per night. Payment is made by placing your money
in the box inside the gym door and sign the log. Cash only. If you decide to come quite often and would like to just make a one time yearly payment the cost is $60/yr.
Here is a map of the location and a Google Earth Placemark.
The WFTTC follows the ITTF rules for matches. In summary: Games to 11 (win by two), rotate serves every two points.
If you are there early enough to be the first two people on a table, winner of the match stays. Once all the tables are setup and you arrive you start by making a "challenge" by placing your paddle at the center base of the table. Once the two people currently playing have a winner, you come to the table to play. Win or lose, you will remain on the table and accept the challenge of the next person. This way everyone gets to play two and only two matches win or lose. Once you leave a table look for another table to "challenge".
On busy nights we can have up to 10 tables comfortably. The ceilings are very high and the lighting is fine. The floor is a hardwood basketball court. There is no air conditioning in the summer so it can get very hot. There is a cool water drinking fountain in the lobby. There is heat in the wintertime though so fall-spring are great months for playing.
