Charlie Matthew and Daniel Tibbetts in the final of the 2022 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 Saturday 9th December. Link to the entry form is provided below. Entries will be accepted till Friday, 1st December. Tournament entry fee is £10, play starts at 11:00am with doors open from 10:30am. 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.
