Dennis Oon and Umesh Samo Nakho in a group stage of 2021 Ping Pong Tournament
A smashing opportunity to try sandpaper bat version of table tennis is happening in Aberdeen very soon. ADTTA Ping Pong Tournament will take place at Woodbank Sports Centre on Sunday 27th November, link to the entry form is provided below. Entries will be accepted till Friday, 18th November. Tournament entry fee is £10, play starts at 10:30am with doors open from 10am. Bats and balls will be provided on the day.
"Ping Pong", otherwise known as "sandpaper table tennis" or sometimes "hardbat table tennis" returns to old fashioned equipment, using sandpaper instead of a soft, grippy rubber on bats. The scoring system is also different - games are played up to 15 points with a "sudden death" point at 14-all. Rallies tend to be longer and significantly reduced spin is a great leveller.
