It’s time to shine, Chicago! Our third weekend of the 2024-25 season kicks off at Wintrust Sports Complex in Bedford Park, IL on October 4 so…
The hometown Chicago Wind take on the Princeton Revolution (East, 4th place), the Portland Paddlers (West, 1st place) and the reigning MLTT champion Texas Smash (West, 3rd place).
It all goes down on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Let’s get you geared up for some white hot table tennis action!
Watch Week 3 LIVE! 👀
One point is all that separates 1st and 2nd place in the East Division right now. But the Chicago Wind can change that in Week 3 and seize control.
So you’re going to want to follow along for all three days on YouTube, where we’re live-streaming every serve, smash, and (say it with me) GOLDEN POINT!
