SITCO 2026
SASKATOON INTERNATIONAL TEAM CLUB OPEN
Welcome to the 2026 Saskatchewan International Team Club Open (SITCO), one of the premier highlights of the table tennis calendar in Western Canada. Growing significantly in recent years, SITCO has become a vital platform for athletes from across the region to compete at a high level while enjoying a unique, team-focused atmosphere.
The Ultimate Value for Players
What truly sets SITCO apart is our commitment to the athletes. As your hosts, Table Tennis Saskatchewan fully subsidizes all hosting and operational costs for the tournament. This means 100% of all entry fees are returned directly to the participants through an exceptionally attractive cash prize pool. In previous years, this has resulted in prize pools exceeding $5,500, making SITCO one of the most rewarding tournaments for competitive teams.
A Format Built for Competition and Community
SITCO is designed to maximize play and experience. Our team-based format ensures that every participant, from elite provincial athletes to club enthusiasts, gets the most out of their weekend.
