USATT 2-Star Butterfly SPTTC February Open in Bellevue Feb 21-22 2026

Bellevue’s Seattle Pacific Table Tennis Club is running the 2026 Butterfly SPTTC February Open, a USATT 2-Star sanctioned regional tournament taking place Feb 21-22, 2026, with Open singles offering $300 for first place, $150 for second and $50 listed for semifinalists. The posted event schedule shows a full weekend of rating-based singles and doubles flights, and the entry form carries the venue address at 13249 NE 20th Street and the club phone number (425) 644-7833.

Tournament operations are listed under director and referee Jerry Li, who is reachable at 206-922-9282 and spttccamps@gmail.com. Umpires named on the control roster are Vince Mioduszewski and Mei Wang, and the control desk is staffed by Jerry Li, Mei Wang and Vince Mioduszewski. The event is explicitly USATT sanctioned and falls within the Pacific Region calendar window of Feb 20-22, 2026, although the posting does not identify this competition as the Pacific Region championship.

Format and eligibility are spelled out on the entry form. All events begin with round-robin groups, with subsequent rounds single elimination. For event eligibility the form uses USATT published ratings on 01/15/2026, while seeding is described as based on the most current ratings. The entry form states participants must be USATT, CTTA or other ITTF affiliate members, non-members must join USATT to play, and membership may be purchased with the entry; the form also warns players they may be asked to show proof of recent membership if their name is not on the current USATT list.

The entry form lists start times and fees for many flights: 9:00 U-1550 Singles RR $40, 9:00 U-3200 Doubles RR $60 per team, 9:00 U-3600 Doubles RR $60 per team, 9:00 U-4000 Doubles RR $80 per team, 9:00 U1000/Unrated Singles RR $40, 9:00 U-1150 Singles RR $40, 9:00 Junior U1000/Unrated RR $40, 11:00 U2250 Singles RR $40, 11:30 Open Singles RR $45, 11:00 U-1450 Singles RR $40, 13:30 U-1800 Singles RR $40, 14:00 U-1300 Singles RR $40, 14:00 U-1950 Singles RR $40, 16:00 U2100 Singles RR $40, 16:00 U-1650 Singles RR $40 and youth flights listed as U-11 and U-15 at 16:00 for $40 each. The posted form contains a duplicated 9:00 U-3200 Doubles line and one truncated line reading "9:00 [...] RR $40" in the excerpt provided.

Prize and awards detail shows the Open singles payout of $300-150-50, U2250 singles $120 and $60, U2100 singles $110 and $55, U1950 singles $100 and $50, and U4000 doubles $160 and $80. The entry form text also reads "All other events Trophy Trophy" and separately carries the literal line "The trophy will give to the top three players." The form includes administrative fields for total event fees, USATT membership fee if required, optional donation to the TT Team USA National Program, and doubles partner name lines for U-3200 and U-3600 doubles.

A few operational items remain ambiguous on the published entry form. The line "Top 2 players [...]" appears truncated where advancement from round-robin groups would typically be specified, and the prize item "Semifinals $50" appears without explicit wording that each losing semifinalist receives $50. The posted entry form lists Jerry Li as the point person for the tournament; his phone 206-922-9282 and email spttccamps@gmail.com are provided for any clarifications on advancement rules, prize distribution and the full event schedule. Expect round-robin group play to feed into single elimination brackets across the rating flights during the Feb 21-22 weekend at the Seattle Pacific Table Tennis Club.
