CERN Table Tennis Club Celebrating CERN 70th Anniversary
Special Table Tennis Tournament (inscription deadline postponed to Monday May 27, midnight)
May 27 to June 27, 2024
At the CERN TT Club general meeting, on March 16, it was decided that the next CERN Championship will take place on Friday August 18, evening (qualifications for half of the groups), Saturday August 19 morning (qualifications for the other half of the groups), and Saturday August 19, afternoon (main draw and consolation draw).
The group rounds serve to rank people. Usually we have groups of 4, so you are ensured to play at least 3 matches in your group. The first two players of each group together with some of the best 3rd will play in the main draw. All the other player will have a second chance by playing in the consolation draw.
Inscriptions will open at the beginning of July, but it is time to seriously train for the event.
As the official competition season is finished in Geneva, you will always find free tables at the Meyrin club on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting around 17:00. So do not hesitate to come.
See you at the club.
As each year, we were invited by the CERN Staff Association to make a table tennis demo on May 31st. The events was a great success thanks to Bertrand, Ricardo and Marius!
