The purpose of this meetup is to create a fun and supportive environment where we can improve our skills, enjoy competitive games, and connect socially. While we do aim to play seriously and challenge ourselves, the focus is more on growth and enjoyment than simply winning at all costs. That’s why the title doesn’t include “competitive” or “social”—we want a healthy mix of both. This is a space where you won’t be judged for making mistakes, but we do expect a mindset geared toward learning and getting better over time. That said, this group isn’t intended for total beginners; a basic understanding of the game is expected so that everyone can contribute to meaningful and engaging matches. The host holds the right to remove you from the game if he believes that you are at a C level.Skill Level:

- This event is NOT on a first come-first serve basis and players with higher skill level and players who can bring a net/ball will get priority over others on the wait list.
- Please note that some attendees may not meet the expected skill requirements in reality as we rely on self-reported skill level and this is a competitive event where winning matters, so we strongly encourage higher-skilled players to team up together and try to win every games in this event and become the champions of the day.
