Hi Tmoney,
The US Open is a big event. TAke a look at this link http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Table-Tennis/Events/2013/July/02/2013-US-Open-Table-Tennis-Championships.aspx.
There are a lot of events at a lower level that would be better to enter first. Take a look at the US TTA website tournament listings. http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Table-Tennis/Events/Tournament-Listing.aspx to find a tournament near you.
