The Sangamon Table Tennis Club meets every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night from 6:00pm to 10:00pm at Douglas Avenue United Methodist Church. 501 South Douglas Avenue, Springfield, IL (view map). (At the SW corner of Douglas & Governor. Parking is on the South side of the church; go down the outside steps and you'll see us through the windows.)
There is also STTC open play on Mondays 7-9pm at Nazarene Church in Sherman, IL (view map)
For more information about the club, please contact club President Rick Goertz through the Contact Us page.
- On most nights we usually have an open play format using the challenge system, though a table or two may be reserved for drill practice.
- Place your paddle under a table to challenge the winner of the current match. The winner must accept your challenge. Table winners also have the option to give up their table if there are no challengers.
- During play, call a let if a ball from another table interrupts play or otherwise interferes with either player.
- We play according to the USATT rules (See also the ITTF Handbook).
- Games are to 11 points, you must win by 2. Matches are usually best of 5 games.
- Remember to record all your match results on the match sheet each night that you play.
We encourage players of all ages and skill levels from beginner to expert to come play at our club. If you do not yet own a paddle, we have some you can use while visiting the club. Members are expected to bring their own paddles. Balls are provided by the club. |

- Treat your fellow players with respect.
- Treat the club equipment with respect. Do not bang your paddle on or sit on the tables!
- Please remember to clean up any food or drinks you bring to the club.
- If you arrive early, help set up the tables and barriers. If you stay late, help put away any tables that aren't being used, or help put away all the tables and barriers if you stay until closing.
- Have fun! =)

Club ratings are ratings that are tracked within STTC. You gain or lose ratings points based on results of the matches you play against other club members each night. The idea is that club ratings give a general idea of how well players are doing against each other. Players who win consistently and don't get upset often will tend to move up in the rankings. The ranges and points gained/lost are a modified scale based on the USATT ratings table.
For example, if a player rated 1300 beats a player rated 1120 (a ratings difference of 180), then the player who won gains 3 points and the player who lost loses 3 points; this is an example of an expected result, where the higher rated player wins. The winner of an upset match, in which the lower rated player wins, can gain a higher amount of points. As with any match, the loser loses the same amount of points that the winner gained. For example, if a player rated 1000 beats a player rated 1125 (a ratings difference of 125), then the (lower rated) player who won gains 22 points and the player who lost loses 22 points.
It's important to write down all your match results on the match sheet because after each night of play we: collect all the match results, calculate the new ratings as soon as possible, then update the main STTC Club Ratings article, which appears on the right side of the pages on this site. Previous ratings are then archived under the Club Ratings category.
