Tournament Frustration

June 3, 2008 11:32 PM | permalink | comments: 0

Tonight was our monthly club table tennis tournament. I was in a group with four other guys, and we did a round robin. Very closely matched. I played great, winning three matches and losing the other 3-1 against an Asian guy I beat last Tuesday. Turns out there was a three-way tie, three of us with a 3-1 record. So we apply a complicated algorithm.

And I ended up third. Couldn't believe it. Played my butt off, even having to get out a second headband because the first one was drenched. But still ended up third. I shall go to bed tonight bitter.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
