From: NCTTA Championship Committee
February 19, 2026
We are excited to have Round Rock CVB host once again the 2027 College Table Tennis Championships.
Round Rock CVB presented the most competitive bid and beat out several cities from several states
from around the nation including: Indiana,Wisconsin and Louisianna!
NCTTA and Round Rock CVB worked to host the 2016,2018, 2022,and 2023 Championships with
incredible success and look forward to replicating the event in 2027. Nancy Yawn and Chad McKenzie
and the Round Rock CVB family have made us feel at home and we are truly lucky to be once again in
the Sports Capital of Texas.
The Round Rock Sports Center remains one of the state of the art facilities to host tournaments of this
nature.The site remains a short walk to hotels for players,coaches,fans and volunteers as well as
offering an array of eating establishments(also within walking distance).
We are excited to plan for the 2027 Championship event!
Sincerely,

Assumptions
Assumed Total Number of Attendees
The 2027 College Table Tennis National Championships is projected to bring in an average daily total of
435 attendees, which include Competitors, Coaches, Staff and Judges/Referees. Attendee projections
were based on the previous College Table Tennis National Championships, supplied by National College
Table Tennis Association. The breakdown of out-of-state, and out-of-area Texan attendees was provided
to Round Rock's CVB by National College Table Tennis Association. and used to project the percentage
and total numbers of attendees for the event.
of Total Number Total Number of
Event Attendees of Participants Participants
Out-of-State 80% 348
Out-of-Area Texans 15% 65
Local Area Peo•le 5% 22
Total 100% 435
Other Assumptions
In this study, local area spectators are not assumed to generate any new economic activity related to
attending the event. These residents would likely shop in local stores and eat in local restaurants
independent of the draw of the event. For this reason, they are not shown as generating any economic
impact in the tables below.
It is also assumed that all out-of-town and out of area Texan attendees will stay in Round Rock for 3 days
and 3 nights of the event, even though the only participants competing on the last day of the competition
will be those who have advanced to the final rounds in each respective event.
Event Expenditures Projections
Projected Car Rental Expenditures
The estimated number of out-of-state attendees is 435. Since car rentals would likely be shared by
members of the same group,this number of out-of-state attendees is divided by the CVB's standard guests
per participant multiplier of 2.5 to estimate 139 households. Some out-of-state attendees may drive their
own vehicle or use various ride sharing options.This study estimates that 75%of households will rent a car
for this event. Rental rates for a standard size car for April 9-11 have been averaged for the ten rental car
companies located at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. This average is $62.70 per day.

Out-of-Area Texans 65 Not like) to rent cars for the event
Local Area People 22 Not likel to rent cars for the event
Projected Hotel/Motels Expenditures
The average nightly hotel rate of $129.00 was obtained from Source Strategies publication purchased by
the City of Round Rock and has been used to estimate hotel spending for the event. Since teams are
traveling together from their colleges and universities, this study assumes a conservative estimate of three
people per room. The total number of room nights is calculated by taking the number of attendees and
multiplying it by the number of nights they are staying overnight in a hotel, then dividing by three people per
room.

Projected Food/Dining and Alcoholic Drinks with Meals Expenditures
To project the economic impact associated with dining, buying alcoholic drinks with meals, and shopping
an average spending amount of$70 per attendee was used. This estimate from the Round Rock CVB is a
conservative projection based on surveys of prior local events. The $70 was divided between dining,
drinking, and shopping based on the following methodology.
The federal General Services Administration per diem rate for food while traveling for the Austin-Round
Rock metropolitan area is$59 per day.This study estimates spending on alcoholic drinks with meals to be
$4 per day. This amount is lower than many other events but because this event is for college students
most of them will not be of legal age to purchase alcoholic drinks in restaurants.

with meals, it is estimated that the average spending on other shopping is $7 per day per person.
