#### 🎮 What’s the Game Plan?
Here’s how the courts are split:

* Learning court lines, scoring, and basic rules.
* Can sustain short rallies and demonstrate basic strokes but still working on consistency.
🏅 **1 Intermediate Court**
* Solid consistency, mid-pace rallies
* Shot placement is improving, but still work-in-progress
* Great for those ready to level up
🏆 **Official Tournament Balls:**
All games will be played using **Franklin X-40 tournament balls** for consistency and a high-quality playing experience.
**Paddle Queue System:** To keep things fair, players will place their paddles in line in box to indicate their turn in the respective court.
**Rules of the Game**:
* **Switch It Up**: After every match, you’ll get a new partner and new opponents.
* **Scoring**: First to 15 points, rally style (no need to keep track of who’s serving—so much simpler lah).
* **Timing**: Each match is capped at 15 minutes, so don’t peng san trying to win.
* **Be Nice**: Keep it friendly—this isn’t the SEA Games, okay?
***
### **Why You’ll Love It:**
* Play with a variety of kakis and test your skills.
* End the day with new friends and maybe a snack after.
***
**What to Bring:**
* Your paddle (or rent one—we’re not judging).

City Lights (1931)
"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields
In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need.
Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture.

Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand.

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk
HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime.

Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
