Morning Table Tennis Tournament – 24 October

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Yesterday morning we held a table tennis tournament in the student lounge! It was the first VERY sunny day in quite some time, so we had a small group for our morning session. We reckon the others were at the beach! They missed out on all our fun 🙂 As there were only three students in the tournament, things got quite competitive (especially with the promise of beer for the winner). Here are the guys with their game face on, ready to go…

The all had some warm-up games first, before things got really serious…

Of course, there can only be one winner – Gilles! In fact, he was undefeated in all of his games! Well done Gilles. Some cold beers coming your way 🙂

Posted on September 26, 2018 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Today we had our monthly Table Tennis Tournament!

We didn’t have as many competitors as usual as the sun was shining and the waves were good, so many of the students were heading to the beach for a surf!

They each played against eachother to 11,

Eric VS Lucas: Eric 11-7

Jeff VS Ibon: Jeff 11-3

Ibon VS Lucas: Ibon 11-6

Jeff VS Lucas: Jeff 11-4

Then the points from each of their 3 games were added together to determined the winner…

Lucas: 17

Ibon: 24

Jeff: 26

and the winner with 33 points… Eric!!!

Eric did have a slight advantage being that he’s a tennis coach, but he kindly shared his beers so everyone was happy 🙂
