Thanks for all the hard work, melmac!
It was fun and illuminating, still can't believe those spin shots are possible and still no idea what one is supposed to do when on the receiving end...
Hope somebody will record the final, it'll be interesting to see how the finalists will counter each other's spins
you are welcome. If you are ever online and have 5/10 minutes I could give you a brief lesson in how to tackle spin shots. Just give you the basics and let you work from there.
thanks Ale Bro. And good luck in the final.
No problem, I would have preferred to spectate, but I did watch the stream but couldn't comment on it for some reason. Am in the middle of writing my match report.
MMart94 takes the spoils and wins the Tournament.
As I mentioned in my prediction, the game really came down to serves. Serve is king in table tennis, if one player has a much better serve than the other, the player with the good serve has a huge advantage and that proved to be the case in the final. Mmart944's serve gave Ale Bro all kinds of problems, forcing him to return weak shots to MMart94's forehand, and that forehand is deadly. Ale Bro tried to counter by increasing the difficulty of his own serves, but, this lead to a number errors which gave MMart94 easy scores.
In Fairness to Ale Bro, he never gave up and kept playing hard. He didn't settle on a defensive game either, attacking with any chance he got. But, it's really difficult when you are chasing a game and MMart94 had all the momentum. MMart94 is one of the top rated players in Eleven Table Tennis so it's no shame to lose against him. It's all a learning experience and hopefully Ale Bro will come back stronger in the next competition.
Congratulations to MMart94 and commiserations to Ale Bro.
Thanks for playing guys. If there is enough interest later on in the year might organise another tournament. Until then, get out there and start practicing.

It was no problem Nik, I just thought you might be extremely busy at work or something. It all went well.
Thanks for the goodies, that's very nice of you and OCUK. Hope you enjoyed your holidays.
Ale Bro finished second.
I think you get a bag of Haribo, empty of course, no room for losers around here
Not sure to be honest. I think all the players enjoyed it but I think it will be a couple of months before the next one, if there is a next one.
There are always people looking on here looking for games though.
Offer accepted
Hi Borsch, I will be online from about 4pm today if you are around let me know.
They are promising a lot of things, hope they can deliver some of them. I am getting impatient waiting for the next update. Have been on to support to try and fix a problem that I have had since the last update and the only solution they can offer is to wait for the update, which is going to be pretty big with a major overhaul to the physics.
