A couple of months ago in some thread that has undoubtedly since been buried, I said I'd organize a Jazzfanz ping pong tournament during the off-season if there's enough interest. The time is now!
This will be in Orem, by the mouth of Provo canyon around 800 N and University Avenue. There's a club there with 6 ping pong tables that I have access to. It's free.
You will need to bring your own paddle. (Borrow one from a friend/neighbor, if you don't have one yourself.) I will bring good quality ping pong balls.
There are typically other people playing at the club on Tuesday/Thursday nights and Saturday afternoons, so we'd probably need to do this on a Monday, Wed, or Friday evening, or Saturday morning/evening.
If you would like to participate please send me a message or reply to this thread. I think we'll need at least 6 people to sign up make this worth doing, and more would certainly be better. People of all ability are invited! Once you're knocked out of the tournament, you can stick around and just play against other jazzfanzers for fun.
I'll give people a few days to sign up, then will contact the interested people privately to figure out a day/time in the next few weeks that works for everyone.
We will use standard tournament rules, which are as follows:
Hey @Jason, any prizes for the winner? ;-) (Probably me, ha ha ha.)

We will use standard tournament rules, which are as follows:
- Games are played to 11 points, have to win by 2.
- Switch serve every 2 points.
- If a game goes to deuce (10-10), then you switch serve every point instead of every 2 points.
- Best 3 out of 5 games wins the match.
