MintTrav:
Do I need to find a team for the poker or can I just come for the table-tennis?

You could just come for the table-tennis. Quite a long way for potentially 3 games though... unless you"re a pro on the sly?...

Depends - it might be worth it. How much is the prize-pool?
Waz1892:
11-0 = 21.8 secs per point
11-10 = 11.42 sec per point
The average being 16.62 per point, giving you around 15 point game as an average 11-4.
4 minutes seems short per game when you consider,
chat/banter inbetween
mis-serves
ball behind player fetching
what is the score enquires
final league postions
QF set up games
just my thoughts. Great idea though!
Matt D:
Thanks Waz.
I based the timings on a match I played vs a mate on Tuesday night...
We ended up 13-11 in games, and it took about 75 mins. Most games were very close. That gives just over 3 minutes a game, so I rounded it to 4minutes in my calculations to be generous.
I think most games will end up 2-0 to one player, as there may be some difference in skills. Also, a lot of points can last just 2 or 3 shots, or sometimes even a foul serve - there is no "second serve".
But... I may ditch the "best of 3" for the Round Robin stages and make them either:
a) "best of 2 games" and award 2 points for a win, and 1 point for a draw.
or
b) make it just a 1 game match. (this will speed things up considerably, but might also mean some players don"t feel they"ve played enough...)
Hard to please everyone, and fit the game into a 3 hour window. (I think 10am to 1pm is about the best time to run this, 9.30am start is just a bit toooo early)...
