Results of the 2009 Pensacola Tournament
Posted: 8/16/2009
Four MSUTTC members traveled to Pensacola, FL on May 16th and competed in a fundraising tournament, the proceeds of which were donated to helping children enroll in various programs they would otherwise not be able to enroll in. The tournament was a blast and each of the MSUTTC players returned with a trophy. Huang won second place in the Open Division, only losing to the president of the NCTTA, Willy Leparulo, who played a solid game from far behind the table the whole day. Jian won second place in the C division, Yicheng easily dominated the D division and took home the first place trophy, and John overcame a difficult start by winning the E division in the afternoon.
After the tournament was over, the lucky four found time to relax and take a stroll along the Pensacola beach. Pictures can be seen on our media page here.

Results of the First Annual MSU Open
Posted: 8/16/2009
The first MSU Table Tennis Open was held on February 5 and February 12, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm each day. 32 slots were available, and all were filled by the time the tournament began, although not all entrants showed up on the first day, causing some to automatically forfeit. But, aside from this minor difficulty, the tournament proceeded quickly and proved to be a very exciting event. By the end of the final day, February 12, the winners were:
- Zhongyuan Huang, First Place -- $100 prize
- Yicheng Du, Second Place -- $50 prize
- Nilantha Bandara, Third Place -- $25 prize
Additionally, the top ranked female player was Katrina Zhong, a former member of the MSUTTC women's team. However, since she was no longer a student, she was ineligible to claim the $25 prize designated for the top female player, so it instead went to Jingjing Cui, the #2 ranked female player in the tournament.
Congratulations to all the winners! Thanks to all who came out to play; we hope to hold more events like this in the future.
