Ontario Champlain Challenge announced with conflicting dates and venue info
Ontario Table Tennis lists the Champlain Challenge for Feb 21-22, 2026, but the Champlain TTC event page is titled "Ontario Champlain Challenge November 29-30 2025" and gives the venue as 2214 Bank St, Ottawa.
| The Ontario Table Tennis Association published the event page and entry information for the Ontario Champlain Challenge scheduled for Saturday–Sunday, February 21–22, 2026." That sentence appears in the event announcement pulled by the association, but the Champlain TTC event page carries a different schedule: its page header reads "Ontario Champlain Challenge November 29-30 2025" and the page metadata shows "Nov 1, 2025 | Champlain TTC, Clubs, Events, News." The Champlain TTC entry also supplies a full venue line: "Champlain TTC 2214 Bank St unit#24 K1V-1J5, Ottawa." |

| The Champlain TTC page includes page structure and empty registration fields that would normally carry logistics. Headings shown on the page include "#### Starting time:", "#### Deadline to register:", "#### Entry Fees:", and "#### Prizes:", and day headers "### Saturday, NOVEMBER 29th" and "### Sunday, NOVEMBER 30th" but the supplied page text contains no match times, registration deadline, fee amounts, or prize details under those headers. The page footer carries the design credit "Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress." |
Format information is partly consistent and partly inconsistent across sources. The original announcement states that "The event page lists event categories, capacities, formats (two‑stage format: round‑robin groups followed by kno" but that phrase is truncated in the material provided. The Champlain TTC page offers a different, explicit block of format rules: "If Class C has more registrations than Class B, Class C will be played on the 29th and Class B on the 30th to allow time to complete the tournament [...] The published event categories are for registration purposes. Final categorization of each event for ORL points will be based on the actual participation, with the category being the minimum that encompasses all participants. For instance, a U15 event with only players being 12 and under will receive U13 levels and points; a Class B event with only players over 40 will receive O40 levels and points; and a Class A event with only players level 14 and higher, including adults under 40, will receive Class D levels and points."
Key operational details remain unlisted in the materials supplied. The original report asserts that capacities are listed on the event page but provides no capacity numbers; the Champlain TTC page shows a "Tournament Referee:" field with no name, a "Documents" section with no documents in the excerpt, and a "Contact Us" area with no contact details in the excerpt. Those blank fields leave starting times, registration deadline, entry fees, prize breakdowns, per-event capacities, and the referee identity unconfirmed.
Until officials clarify which listing is current, the date and venue confusion could affect player travel plans and ORL point expectations. Confirm whether there are two separate Champlain Challenge events or whether the November 29-30, 2025 page is an archived bulletin while the Ontario Table Tennis Association’s February 21-22, 2026 posting represents a rescheduled event. Verify the full format text (the truncated "two‑stage format: round‑robin groups followed by kno" phrase), the per-event capacities, starting times, registration deadline, entry fees, prize amounts, and the Tournament Referee name with the Ontario Table Tennis Association and Champlain TTC before registering or booking travel.
