Table Tennis Tournament


Last week I played in the Valley of The Sun Open at our club.
I played - 2000 (ratings in the Us have a number pretty similar to the ELO system in chess)and - 1900 on Saturday. Because I didn't have a rating I wasn't allowed to advance to the single elimination. I won 3 matches and didn't loose any in the -2000 category. I won 2 matches and lost one in the -1900 category.

On Sunday I played in the Singles Open and Open Doubles.
Groups of 5 players. I won 3 pretty easy (all 4-1) and lost 1. I lost 4-2 against Xiaozhou, number 2 in Arizona, rating 2216(number 1 of our club). Played extremely well, was 2-3 down and 9-7 up and f* up 2 easy spins.
I was placed 2 of my group and advanced to the next round.
Played against Potaychuk, number 3 of our club and number 7 in Arizona, rating 2081. Played extremely bad, was 10-8 ahead in the first set and then I played really bad. Lost 4-0, sad.

Those two players went on to play the final...Xiaozhou won.
