Posted on
Hello Table Tennis Enthusiasts,

Such tremendous fun & excitement at my last Saturday, Sept. 25 at my LATTA Butterfly Open tournament!  We had 70 competitive players ranging from ages 9 to 74, displaying great sportsmanship in 8 events ranging from Under 1050 to 2300 level.  💪🏆

Sweats spewing on floor & on 14 spacious Butterfly tables & cars packed in our ample parking lot!  My 2 assistants, Ben Wong, Jeff Ito and I ran the tournament beautifully and smoothly! Big shout out to both of them!  It’s wonderful to see many players from different cities in Southern Calif. competing against one another.  Thank you to all Participants!  Big congrats to all tournament winners!  If you didn’t win, there’s always a next time & room for improvement!
