Thanks for all the participants who have made the GBC 2011 Table Tennis Tournament successful. It is delightful to have a gatehring of our community, and to meet a variety of players, young and old, accomplished and inexperienced. We have more than 50 players competing in the three events. The champion of the advanced group goes to Scott Malek, an accomplished player of Power Pong, and the runner-up is Ronald Yu of GBC, who is also trained at Power Pong, and is an organizing committee member; John Lin and Kevin Wei won the third and fourth places respectively. We hope to see you again in the next GBC Table Tennis Tournament.

Thanks again and have a wonderful summer!
