The Kings of Pong competition starts this Friday at PUMA Social Club Jozi, with a full compliment of teams ready to fight to the death for R20,000 cold hard cash. Here's the low down of what's going down in Braamfontein town. Every Friday evening from the 5th day of July to the 30th day of the 8th month, we're hosting the only ping pong tournament worth mentioning... ever. It's the kind of tournament that should your Dad attend, he'll make sure everyone in the surrounding area knows that he made you, that you're already the winner and everyone should go home and cry themselves to sleep.
Should your team be victorious and win R20,000 in this endeavour you'll briskly walk away (all that training will be engrained), laughing and throwing monopoly money in the air, because let's be honest this is the real world, not a(nother) Kenny Kunene reality show.
This is serious, so we have some rules you need to abide by when challenging the enemy on the table. So, if you don't know, now you know. (We give you mad respect if you sang that like a gangster from the east-side)
A point will be awarded for the following:
- Enemy misses the ball (they clearly didn't train)
- Ball bounces more than once in enemy's court (you may hi5 your team mate now)
- Ball touches anything other than the paddle, table and net (keep it on the table)
- Ball misses your court (you may give a sly smile, to the dismay of the enemy)
- Enemy obstructs ball (don't touch the ball, seriously, an old wives tale mentions that your balls will pop if you touch them)
- Enemy strikes ball more than once (this is aimed at only children)
- Enemy touches the playing surface or net (keep you hands to yourself, no studio touching allowed)
- Enemy repeats offense after warning from the umpire (don't argue like those ninnies on the football field)
First team to 11 points wins the game, and must be won by at least 2 points. There's a best of 5 games to determine the winner of the match.
Start doing your stretches because it's on, like... um... ping pong, and dont forget to choreograph your victory dance. Respect the balls.
