    There will be a tournament on Sunday, March 24, in Springfield, MA.  The
    complete entry form is included below the form feed.

    NOTE!!  This is *not* a USTTA sanctioned event.  If you have a current
    USTTA rating, it will not be affected by play in this tournament.  If
    you are not a USTTA member, you cannot receive a rating by playing.
    However, this makes it a good tournament to go to if you just want to
    give tournament play a try (ie, you don't have to put down the $20
    USTTA membership to play, like you do in sanctioned events.

    Question:  Where did the game of table tennis get the name "ping pong?"
    
    Is it Chinese, because the game is so popular over there?
    
    Is it onomatopoeic?  If so, I'd think it would be called
    smoething more like "plick plock."

And I would like to know if:

		a) Reebok makes a Pump Table Tennis Shoe

		b) If I wear bicycle shorts, an earring, wear
		   table tennis shoes from Nike, and have a most
		   excellent bodacious haircut and a 5 oclock shadow
		   if it can be called Rock 'n Roll Table Tennis.

Also:

 	How do you keep the table from collapsing when you stand
	on it.  

	Is jumping the net considered good ettiquette

	Are the umpires and line judges 'to scale'?


Schlep me, schlep me, wonk it up!

Bull,

I think they're Dan's twin brothers 8^)

There was an ad for Rock 'n Roll tennis in SI last week, and it
mentioned that it was like rugby on the tennis court. I wish I could
remember exactly what it said but I gave the issue to my dad....

It was too funny....

    >I think they're Dan's twin brothers 8^)
     
    Now how the hail can Dan have *two* twin brothers?  And while we're
    deening our wonks today, are triplets and quadruplets (almost typed
    quadrupeds) called tri-brothers and quad-brothers? quasi-brothers?

    re .7:

>>    Question:  Where did the game of table tennis get the name "ping pong?"

    "Ping pong" is a registered trademark of Parker Brothers.

>>    Is it Chinese, because the game is so popular over there?

    From what I've heard, table tennis originated in England sometime during
    the late 19th century.    

>>    Is it onomatopoeic?  If so, I'd think it would be called

    I'm really not sure.  It's very possible, though.

    The Reebok Tennis pump should be sufficient.

    Sure, no problem here...

>>Also:

    Buy a *GOOD* table.  And yes, I HAVE seen players standing on a table
    before.

>>	Is jumping the net considered good ettiquette

    As long as you win the point, NO PROBLEM!!

>>	Are the umpires and line judges 'to scale'?

    Yea, haven't you seen those little guys running around before?  Actually,
    they're about the size of Steven Wright's friend who poses for trophies.
    I have several trophies that he's posed for...

    Ok, back to tournaments.....

    There will be a tournament in Bristol, Vermont, on January 5, 1991.
    This is NOT a USTTA-sanctioned event, so USTTA ratings will not be
    affected.
