Fifty four of our more seasoned players competed this year in the 2024 Pan Am Masters Games that was held in Cleveland.  Butterfly and Bowmar Sports were among the sponsors for this Olympic-style event that included twelve age categories (starting at age 30 and increasing up to 80+) across a range of singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events.  Para athletes were also invited to compete in the same age divisions – competing against all other athletes.  Fifty-four players competed.

The winner of the Men’s 30-39 Singles event was Chiranjeevi Pokala.  Firdovski Karimov won 40-49.  Zhuangjie Li won 60-69.  Mark Tinkler won Men’s 70-79.  And Gopalan Swamivathan won 80+.
