Ultimate Social Ping Pong Chaos! (Around the Table Toernooi)

Wed, Jul 1 · 7:40 PM CEST

The Pingpong Club, Concordiastraat 80, 3551 EM Utrecht,, Utrecht, NL

When: Wednesday, July 1st | 🕒 Doors open at 19:00, battle starts at 20:00
Where: De Ping Pong Club, Utrecht
Damage: €4,07 (Buy your tickets in advance as spaces are limited! Secure your spot directly with the venue here!)

The Vibe:
I checked out De Ping Pong Club last week—it is an awesome location! They even have board games if you need a break from the action.
I played there recently outside of a tournament, and let me tell you about the "athletic" standard: if you can hold two beers at the same time, you are officially qualified. This is not the Olympics, this is around the table. Leave your sports watch at home; this is a purely social event where your actual speaking time will easily outlast your playtime.

Pro Tip: There are bonus points for costumes and alternative, non-paddle equipment. Fry-pans, textbooks, or flip-flops? Bring it.

Essential Training Routine:
If you actually want to take this seriously and lift the trophy, you must complete this strict two-step preparation:

1. Watch the Balls of Fury Trailer to master the illegal underground table tennis mindset.
2. Blast Armin van Buuren's Ping Pong on repeat to get your hand-eye coordination synced to 138 BPM.

P.S. Who is willing to play in my team "ExBats"? (Yes, a terrible pun merging "Expats" with bat, the Dutch word for racket). Drop a comment below if you're in!
