I don't foresee the income will attract that many high level international players. But definitely do hope to see this expand to incorporate even more teams from other cities

That depends, the owners may be able to pay "out of pocket" for international players and forego a draft pick. We will have to wait and see when the rules are published.

The Goose Island Traveling Table Tennis Club is considering becoming an owner in this new league. We have the ability to create a unique situation that would provide a strong incentive for both players and spectators to come to our matches.
We would play our home matches on some of the best picnic tables in the US at some of the finest National Parks. Summer matches would be played at Sequoia and Redwoods National Parks. The promotion slogan would be "Come see the big trees and big time table tennis". Spring and fall matches would be held at Big Bend National Park. "Two paddles for the price of one. Raft the Rio Grande and then watch world class table tennis." would lure in the spectators. Winter matches would be held at Death Valley. There we could promote "No sandpaper, but lots of sand. Enjoy world class table tennis and world class scenery." Of course our team kit would be official Mountain Man Table Tennis Wear featuring hiking cargo pants, long sleeve hiking shirt, hiking boot style table tennis shoes, and the trademark wide brimmed hat. What do you guys think? Is there a place in this new league for the Goose Island Travelling Table Tennis Club? Let me know what you think. Mark - Who will be evaluating draft choices on both their TT skills and ability to start a campfire in the rain and cook a good meal over it.

I think it's great that someone's trying to set up a pro league in the United States. I hope it succeeds.

The MLTT looks awesome! There is an AMA tomorrow at 8pm EST with the CEO Flint Lane on Reddit in r/TableTennis.

wait, so is this for real or an April Fool's joke? Because if it is a AF joke, I expected it to be dated on 4/1, not 3/31

It's for real. Flint Lane is a successful businessman and the owner of the Princeton Pong table tennis club. Let's see how far he can take it.

If women's soccer can attract that kind of money, surely table tennis should be able to succeed too (or maybe not...)

I was told by a person involved that it will be on YouTube. Not sure which channel. The West showcase was on OCTTA. Don't know where the draft is being held.

The "Princeton Revolution" is based in New Jersey (as is the league itself). Maybe in the second half of the season there'll be matches in that region too. Same for the Pacific Northwest with Seattle and Portland.

Not sure they disclose that information until after you are drafted. It isn't readily available anywhere.

Earlier this year (April?) they had a presentation for players interested in the draft that covered some of this information. I forget the numbers but there is some base pay per appearance on the thousand dollar scale plus smaller bonuses for winning games, especially the golden game. There may also have been some pay just for being on a team, but I don't recall that as clearly. I'll see if I can find the information again.

MLTT will have their own YouTube channel for the draft per their latest "X" tweet.
