Hi All, I think our first effort at doubles night went extremely well..While it might have looked like herding cats, many exciting and competitive matches took place.  We had 14 teams, some left early, some came late.  All in all the teams were fairly well balanced.  Earl and Ron played and we had a lower division of matches.  The excessively lavish prize money has yet to be distributed..  The winners for the night appear to be Team James Neilsen and Abner as well as Team Borko and Bob Wilson.  Runners up were Team Joey Valenzuela and Mark Tupas followed closely by Team James Kahn and Eddie Choe. I thank everyone for participating including those I had to twist arms to enter.  If you enjoyed it, we will continue it. Thanks, James Kahn

This Thursday, there is a very special tournament happening right here in San Diego! The Mike Dempsey Memorial Table Tennis Tournament kicks off it’s opening ceremonies at the Grand Exhibit Hall at the Town and Country Resort Hotel this Wednesday @ 7pm (FREE admission) with competition happening Thursday through Saturday. For more details, visit their website by clicking here.

Hi All,

I am going to conduct a doubles tournament on Friday, November 30th for teams based on club ratings for under 3400 doubles.  If you have no rating, I will determine your rating and can help people find partners. The tournament will start at 5:30pm.

Thanks, James Kahn

2. SoCal College Tournament Nov 17 represented by Adam Barbrow – He is asking for SDTTA to pay for half the fee ($450) to rent the activity for their tournament that day.  The SDTTA board members decided that we could loan them our tables and we are paying SDTTA hours during their tournament.
