Wrap-up Article
The 2019 Big Island Open is now
history, a super cozy tournament, filled with Aloha. All the players were
enjoying themselves, playing tons of matches on many brand new tables, in an
amazing facility! Good lighting, cool temperatures, great bathrooms, fantastic
floor, and so much room. In fact, we had too much room, so we had requests to
make the playing area smaller to walk less to get the balls. Lunches, snacks,
friendship, rivalries, laughter, chatter, and good sportsmanship were aplenty. I
want to thank Desmond for coming from Oahu and Cosmo (and family) for coming
from California, helping to make the tournament even more enjoyable. A special
MAHALO goes out to the Aloha Table Tennis Association
on Oahu for their very generous donation, which really helped as we did have a
smaller player turnout than usual. Below are more pictures, results, and updated
ratings from the Tournament. Mahalo to John Romoa for the coffee, Gloria for
salad and more, and to Ian's parents for picking up the lunch each day. Mahalo
to John Buck, Jim Gibbons, and others for helping to put up, take down, and get
everything setup and cleaned.
