Not, because in one team only one National Player allowed. He is amateur player.

Before I retire to bed today, these are my parting thoughts:

1. I heard some who said to me, Gozo, why go and play when you have zero chance of winning? It is a waste of time ... bla bla bla... yadda yadda yadda....
2. To these detractors, my view as follows: In this tournament, the orgainizer quota was 48 teams with eight members per team making 384 pax in total. Minimum is six members.
3. However, in reality, only 44 teams signed up and not every team has eight members.
4. Out of these 384 players, I feel maybe 90% are amateurs or I term them grassroots supporter of this sport of TT. If us TT grassroot do not support events like this, then there is no events like this and there will not be TT at all. Hence those who said what is the use of amateurs like Gozo joining this event are most likely people who are not players per se even they may proclaim to play TT.
5. Yes, it is true 90% amateurs are there to make up the numbers, but it is us 90% that will make this event successful or a failure.
6. =================


7. So what next after this? Knowing where I stand in the ranking of TT level, which is most probably at the bottom of the barrel so to speak, what should I do? Train harder? Put in more hours?
8. Nah.... I'll do what amateurs like us do best: Continue to be a EJ or boosting expert. Continue to browse and read the forums like crazy about every rubber available in the market. Buy em, try em, write reviews about em... Yup! That is it! I'll be a good amateur TT player and do all the above, that is, continue EJ'ing.

Thanks for sharing all this Gozo, it's very interesting and it's great following it.
Will you be writing a short review of your games and how they went? Or are they available to watch on one of the YouTube links?

Sure, the footage is with my team mate, he took the video while I concentrate on playing. I will wait for him to send me the raw footage. Probably Monday, then give me one or two days to do some editing for brevity and it should be done by then.

I am so sorry to say I made a blunder on my second match, I though I pressed the record button but it turns out the video did not start recording, it happens sometimes in the heat of battle / tourney.

@Tony's Table Tennis ,

Tony, my man Tony, I know you had worked as a coach or asst. coach to giggly high school girls. I had some observation of some of these elite Asian high school girls competitive table-tennis players. I am talking those U19 type. When they are not playing and in their normal MODE, they display your typical Hello Kitty, K-pop loving high school girls demeanour.

But when they are beside the table in a real match, they suddenly turn into Tigress and would go toe-to-toe all out against boys. Where did they suddenly get those strength to drive so fast and so strongly, putting many girly man to utter shame?

I saw a match between a U19 / U17 girl playing a fantastic match against one of our Men National Team player and she was able to hold her own. She lost eventually, but to see her transform from Hello-Kitty K-Pop loving to Tigress mode is just mind-boggling.

You work with them, you tell me... what is their secret?

Gozo, since 42 is your lucky number, you should try 42d hurricane

PROTT

They all want to be like Miu Hirano and sign a contract with Sanrio, the makers of Hello Kitty.

haha

well, think of it as, they probably was raise (pre schooling years) as hello kitty
and once about grade 3 or 4, they start table tennis, and then they are sports person
up until when they in grade 8 ~ 10, when the "girly side" will come back.

Some will remain sporty, and the others will seek a more feminine side when not on the table.
But overall, at say 18 years old, they already have near 10 years of full time training (30 hours a week, x 50 weeks a year x 10 years as reference)

Give any one 15000 hours of training, then those shots will come.
and obviously, its a filter system. Good ones make it up, the weak ones are filtered out.
