Here are the first round standings for the Ping Pong Tournament:
Substitutions: Dan Smith for Chinna (So we could move to round two)
Dan Smith vs Venkata
In a surprising upset Venkata won over top seed Dan Smith with a score of 21 to 9
Venkata Moves to Round two
Negendra vs Bobbie
Although Bobbie did show off her skills, Negendra concentrated and defeated her 21 to 18
Due to point scoring Negendra didn't make the second round
Greg vs Bernie
By using a CLM (Career Limiting Move) Greg wooped the snot out of Bernie 21 to 6
Greg moves on to Round Two.. Though he got his pink slip so may not make it...
William vs Raghu
This was a great match, except that Will won... He already has too big of a Ping Pong Ego.. 21 to 6
William moves on to Round 2
Charles vs. Mike B
This was a great match, Charles narrowly lost this to Mike B due to height limited movement (Or so he claimed) 21 to 12
Mike moves on to Round 2
Jeff vs Johan
Though it was suspected that Johan would wipe the table with Jeff, Jeff stood his ground at a close 21 to 15 game
Johan moves on to Round 2
Sas vs Vijay
This was a clash of the titan, hundred mile an hour returns, but vijay edges out Sas 21 to 13
Vijay moves ahead to Round 2
Steve vs Gary
In a surprise upset Steve defeats Gary in what could only be called "an act of God, cause his skill is lacking" 21 to 13
Steve moves on to Round 2
Xu vs Srini
In what was probably the toughest game of round one Xu defeats Srini 21 to 12
Xu moves to Round 2
Second Round Action
Two games of the second round have been played:
William vs Mike B
In a great game Will snuck in a few good returns to finish 21 to 12
William advances to round 3
Johan vs Vijay
In undoubtedly the best game so far, Johan sneaks in a VERY close win over Vijay and wins 23 to 21
Johan advances to round 3
Still left to come in round 2
Steve vs Xu (I hope he believes in Mercy and lets me win)
Venkata vs. Greg Osborne
These games to be completed during the morning tomorrow per Bernie so we can get to round three and then the final round at lunch....
