Donna Beski, Dianna Gray and Nancy Calderone all tied for fourth. And congratulations to everyone who entered the tournament. The January singles tournament finals was a round robin among the eight players advancing from last week's preliminary rounds. Congratulations to Mike Rusaw our winner, Gordon Weinblatt who finished one game back in second with Stu Lesser in third.
The preliminary rounds were completed Sunday January 17. Moving on from group 1 are Gordon Weinblatt, Stu Lesser, Mike Rusaw and Scott Sauerman. Moving on from group 2 are Maury Garvey, Ron Deman, Deb Harrison and Jasmine Qu. The round robin finals will be on Sunday January 24 at Laurel Manor Recreation Center beginning at 12:00 noon.
We are having a singles tournament on January 17th and 24th at Laurel Manor open to all members. We plan on a women’s only tournament in the near future.
Because of table limitations, on the 17th we will have two sessions. Out of 16 participants, 8 will start at noon and play till 1:30, and the other 8 will start at 1:30 and play till 3. After signups are completed, I will tell you which group you are in, and when you need to be there. The top 4 from each session will compete in the finals the next week, the 24th, so make sure you are available for both dates. To enter use the form below. Congratulations to Mike Rusaw, winner of this year's Challenge Ladder Tournament. Gordon Weinblatt finished second and Gerry Gividen third. The full standings can be found under Calendar/Challenge Ladder Tournament.
Due to the coronavirus we haven’t been able to hold a tournament in a long time and it looks like it will be quite a while until it is safe to do so again. But we can have a Challenge Ladder Tournament. Only one match is played at a time with the two players agreeing on a time and place for that match. With most recreation centers leaving the tables in place all the time social distancing shouldn't be difficult. It is a singles tournament and is gender-neutral, all members of the Villages Table Tennis Club may enter.
The tournament begins Sunday August 2 but we are still accepting entries. Players entering after August will simply start at the bottom of the ladder. If you are interested please send an email to Cornel West at [email protected] Congratulations to Stu Lesser, winner of the March 15 table tennis tournament. It was a singles tournament open to both men and women. The first round was a round-robin with each player playing one game against all 15 other players. The top four, Stu Lesser, Cornel West, Deb Harrison, and Jasmine Qu advanced to the semi-finals to fight for the title in single-elimination best 2 of 3 games. Yulia Wilson and Ron Taylor just missed the semifinals finishing in 5th and 6th place.
In the semi-finals Cornel defeated Deb and Stu defeated Jasmine to advance to the finals. In the final matches, Stu won the title with Cornel second and Deb won the consolation match to take third place with Jasmine in fourth. Congratulations to everyone who participated. Congratulations to Gordon Weinblatt and Kate Aiello. Their 25 games won versus only 5 games lost just squeaked by Ron Deman and Yulia Wilson's 24 and 6 to take first place in today's random draw mixed doubles tournament. Larry Smith and Jasmin Qu took third place with 22 and 8. Finishing further down the pack was Scott Sauerman and Mary Zarse. However in their head to head battle they defeated Gordon Weinblatt and Kate Aiello in both games. Their 2-0 drubbing of Gordon was enough for Scott to declare, "That made it all worthwhile." Congratulations to all our players, there were hard fought matches all around the room. And congratulations to Cornel West, our vice president and tournament chairman for a job well done.
