Fourth Annual Utah Valley Open

by John P. Pratt

The Fourth Annual Utah Valley Open Table Tennis Tournament was be held on Saturday, May 1, 2004, sponsored jointly by Pleasant Grove City Recreation and the Timpanogos Table Tennis Club. Table tennis is a very popular Olympic sport in Europe and Asia, and is gaining popularity in the United States because it is a life-long sport in which youth, men, women, the elderly and the handicapped can all compete together. The tournament was played according to U.S.A.T.T. standards, including the new 40 mm larger ball and the 11-point game. Matches were held in the popular modified round-robin format when feasible, which allows all players to play the same number of matches rather than being eliminated after only one or two losses.
