Ray Is Back To Newport Beach Table Tennis Club!

Newport Beach Table Tennis Champion

Tony Kovacs and Ray Shak

The Newport Beach Table Tennis Club has the largest tournament in town with a particular style where all the participants have the same chance to win first place.

All this is possible thanks to the Equal Challenge Tournament.

“Is one of the most effectives ways to encourage people to keep practicing, without even thinking in your opponent’s level.  No doubt this is the best weekly table tennis tournament in town!” 

With a participation of 16 players, we made a fun tournament where you can meet and challenge new table tennis players. The youngest player is 11 years old and the oldest one is 81 years old, and both of them are great players!

Come this Wednesday night to the Newport Beach Table Tennis Tournament around 6:30 pm, sign up for just $10, warm up and at 7:00 pm we’ll start.

Please note that our official starting time is 6:30pm.  We will allow some players to enter the round robin after 6:30pm, but please do not abuse our policy.  This is to respect all others who are here on time every Wednesday.  So come early!

Thanks to each of you for your help for we believe in the culture to always have an umpire for your match, so that you can focus 100% on the game and not in the score!
