Venue
I think we have finally arrived at an optimal layout with bleachers in the east side of the gym, accessible easily by a walking alley and additional seating on the west side of the gym. The park district has recently purchased additional chairs so seating should not be a problem anymore as it has sometimes been in the past. We have 70+ barriers and may get 10 more making it possibly of the only 2 star tournaments in the Midwest with fully barriered courts. Courts are 16 ft x 40 ft.
The light strength has been measured on both sides of each table with a dedicated meter and it showed readings between 338 and 430 Lux with an average of 380. The flooring is a sports linoleum flooring with a fairly good grip and not too hard on your feet. You are welcome to bring a towel for wetting your shoe soles if you like.
Below is the layout of the venue with table numbers:

Number of spots is limited to 96 so consider registering early. To see who registered so far please check the online registration page.
Tournament operations will be using OmniPong software so that you ratings will be updated on first Thursday following the tournament and published in a tournament report on this website.
