Table Tennis

Schedule

Table tennis is a sport in which players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a hard table divided by a net using a small paddle. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage.

Table tennis competition at the Arctic Winter Games includes, singles, doubles and a team event. Individual competition begins with round-robin play, followed by a medal round among the top-ranked players and the team event follows the same model.

Table Tennis has two age categories: Junior (Born 2000 or later) and Juvenile (born 2003 or later) for both male and female competitors. A team consists of up to eight athletes and two coaches.

In 2018 the Table Tennis events will be held in Fort Smith in the Joseph Burr Tyrrell Elementary School gymnasium.

Note: Sports venues and location are subject to change.
