Compete on MLTT Center Court

Players will compete in Hall C2 at the Charlotte Convention Center, right alongside MLTT's professional competition.

Make it through your division, and the stage gets even bigger.

The finals for all divisions except U-1000 are scheduled to begin at approximately 6:15 p.m. on MLTT Center Court, between professional team matches. These championship matches will also be broadcast on YouTube.

That means amateur competitors will have the opportunity to play under the lights on the same court used by MLTT professionals, in front of the Charlotte crowd and an online audience.

Every Carolina Gold Rush Open entry also includes one general admission ticket to an MLTT match during the weekend.

Plan Your Charlotte Weekend

The Carolina Gold Rush Open is more than a tournament. It's an opportunity to spend a weekend in downtown Charlotte, compete on the same stage as the pros, and experience world-class table tennis throughout the MLTT weekend.
