The Philippine Table Tennis Federation (PTTF) is planning to increase the number of participants in its Intercollegiate and Interscholastic Challenge to be held from August 29 to 31 at the Home Court, Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
Now in its third edition, the best college and high school teams from various leagues will be participating. In total, there will be 14 events to compete in. According to PTTF secretary-general Pong Ducanes, “Last year, about 600 participated, but this time, we expect it to increase even more.”
Last year, the University of Santo Tomas reigned supreme after winning seven titles. One of their winners was Eljay Tormis who became the champion in the College Men’s Singles division. In this year’s college division, there will be eight events including Men’s Team and Women’s Team (Division 1 and 2), Singles and Doubles for both genders.
For the high school division, there are six events: Boys’ Team, Girls’ Team, Singles, and Doubles. There will be cash prizes, gift certificates, trophies, and medals for the winners. The total prize money is worth thousands of pesos.
