Thanks John! I’ll get the page updated accordingly!
I’m probably a mid range player. Looking to join up with others to play… Is it hard to get on a table here? What skill level is everyone at? A bunch of pros looking for fresh meat?
Hi Brandon,
No it’s not hard to get a table. It’s open play, and we typically do a simple “challenge” where you place your paddle down next to a table to claim a match against the winner. Everybody is friendly, so it’s not something that you need to worry about.
There are skill levels of all kinds. I think you’ll have fun. There should be some people at your level you can compete with, and others you can play with to get a feel for what this game is like when you advance through the levels. 🙂
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about that. Thanks!
