• Congratulations to Ming Zhang and Xuantong Ying who won our weekly round robin for table 1 and 2, respectively. Click here for full results. 720 matches have been played since the League started. Thanks to Mark Johnson who took care of the RR last week.
• The weekly round robin is getting more and more popular. Please send me email to reserve your spot as early as possible. There is a very slim chance getting a spot if you send me email on Thursday or Friday. Drop-in on Saturday is almost impossible. As of this moment, only 2 spots are available.
• The next 4-week clinic will start next Saturday. The tentative schedule is 12/11, 12/17, 1/8, and 1/15. There are only six spots available and two have been taken. Each player will train 1 hour per session with another player. Regional coach Jim Chai is our head coach. He is doing this for free. However, a $40 donation, for all four sessions, toward our fund for new equipment is appreciated.
• It seems that the 3-game rotation worked well. Please limit your warmup time to two minutes when there are people waiting. Please observe two-out rule as well. (The winner steps down after winning the second match.)
