HELP: table tennis club moscow

русский ниже

Hey, my name is Christian Ortner. i am currently in Moscow for one month and i will come back and move to Moscow in 2020 for a long time. I'm looking for a club where i can play and train regularly and compete in a league system or tournaments. I worked for the ITTF Marketing department and play table tennis for many years in Austria and United Arab Emirates. 

Do you have a league system in Moscow for normal players? I'm not a bad player but not Pro League material ;) Or do you only have tournaments and you dont have club like european style?

I found some information online about some places where you can play but its usually "pay per hour" or bring your own friends and not a "real club".

My rating in Austria was 1400 (ratingscentral.com, Shibaev Alexander = 2890 rating) (but i am not "half good" as Shibaev :P ) 

Any help? :)  Thanks! (i can speak a little bit russian and understand)

Sorry, this is Google Translate! 

Привет, меня зовут Кристиан Ортнер. Я в настоящее время нахожусь в Москве в течение одного месяца, и я вернусь и перееду в Москву в 2020 году в течение длительного времени. Я ищу клуб, в котором я могу регулярно играть, тренироваться и соревноваться в системе лиг или турнирах. Я работал в отделе маркетинга ITTF и много лет играл в настольный теннис в Австрии и Объединенных Арабских Эмиратах.

У вас есть система лиг в Москве для обычных игроков? Я не плохой игрок, но не материал про Лигу;) Или у вас есть только турниры, и у вас нет клуба, подобного европейскому стилю?

Я нашел в Интернете некоторую информацию о некоторых местах, где можно играть, но обычно это «оплата в час» или привлечение собственных друзей, а не «настоящий клуб».

Мой рейтинг в Австрии был 1400 (ratingscentral.com, Шибаев Александр = 2890 оценок) (но я не "наполовину хорош", как Шибаев: P)

Любая помощь? :)  Спасибо!

Thank you for all replys and also private messages! I got a good feeling how table tennis works in Moscow Right now i will just check out some tournaments and training centers and get a better understanding overall! (:Maybe see you soon at the table!

Subjunctive mood - наше всё!

Вспоминаю про двух туристов в Лондоне ))) :

- Хай, Мэн!

   - Хай

- Хау тайм?

   - Афтер файв!

-   Соу мач???!!

   - Хум хау!

-  Ю энд МГИМО?

  -  Дык.., епрст -  рэд диплом!

In addition to the previous message - this one is just perfect https://rttf.ru/tournaments/37908 . Don't be afraid of the number of people registered - it's nothing. The average participation is 40-50. You will definitely find a lot of sportsmen playing better and worse then you as well. And get your amatuer rating.

If I were you, I would come to an open tournament and get a more or less fair amateur raiting

Какие у нас англопишущие и отзывчивые люди! Это радует! А вот на дорогах и не скажешь (((

Correlation of our local 'RTTF'-rating to ratingcental.com is unknown. You just need to get the initial local rating by playing any tournament of any club in the left side list. This list is not less then 80% of all Moscow region tournaments. The rest are probably not interested in newcomers. I suggest to try 600+ or "ОТК" at first.

Thank you for the reply! This helps a lot (:

Dear Christian, unfortunately there is no such club system in Moscow as in Austria or Germany. But there are a lot of places to play (with partner) and compete in amateur tournaments in Moscow. You will just need to take part in one "open" tournament (Открытый турнир) to find out your russian amateur rating and then you can participate in different tournamets (with rating limit or without) and find a sparring partner of equal level. A lot of people are looking for a sparring - the only problem is a place (not far for both) and time. 

Best regards.
