We are happy to announce that we will host our second tournament of the year, the Knoxville Gold Dollar Fall Open Tournament on October  05th<\/sup>, 2024.<\/p>\n

This tournament format will be using a multi-stage Giant Round Robin format.  First stage will be a round robin with 8 groups of 6 players.  Every one will advance to the next stage.  Second stage will be Division A, B, C, D, E, F Round Robin with 2 groups of 4 players for each division.  Then the top two finishes from the second stage Divisional Round Robin will play a cross over semi-finals and finals.  We will also play for the 3rd place match in this format and spread some prize money out.  So one more opportunity for you to win some prize money and trophies.<\/p>\n

We will continue to offer Upset Gold Dollars as well.  For those who are familiar with our Gold Dollar Upset format, the winner of every upset match played between two USATT rated players will receive Upset Gold Dollar.  The rules for winning the upset Gold Dollar are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gold Dollars will be paid to the winners of all upsets, regardless of player’s rating.<\/li>\n
  2. Winners of each and every upset will receive gold dollars using the following payout schedule:\n
      \n
    1. Rating difference: 100 or less, Gold Dollar reward: $5.00<\/li>\n
    2. Rating difference: 101 to 150, Gold Dollar reward: $10.00<\/li>\n
    3. Rating difference: 151 or larger, Gold Dollar reward: $15.00<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. The gold dollars will be paid immediately upon confirmation of match sheets showing upsets on a first come first get paid basis until the funds run out. KTTC reserves $200 Gold Dollars for this payout.  So sharpen your game and hit the court running fast!<\/li>\n
    5. Rating used to determine the upsets will be the USATT ratings of record as of Friday before the tournament.  Only USATT rated players prior to the date of the tournament are eligible to win gold dollars.<\/li>\n
