You Asked

PingSkills is running a competition to pick the winner of the upcoming World Individual Championships in Yokohama. The Championships commence on 28th April and conclude on 5th May. The 1st Round of Mens and Womens singles start on 30th April. No entries will be accepted after 30th April. This will be at the conclusion of the 2nd round. But remember the first correct entry wins.

What do you need to pick?

You need to pick the Winner and Runners Up of both the Men's and Womens Singles and the results in the finals. i.e. just the game score 4 - 0, 4 - 1 etc... If no correct entry is found PingSkills will determine the closest entry based on Winning Players Names, then Runner Up Players Names and then on the result in the final. Priority will be given to the Mens singles if there are 2 entries that are even after this.

Entry Format

Put in your entry in this format;
Mens singles winner, Mens singles Runner up, Mens singles final result, Womens Singles winner, Womens singles Runner Up, Womens singles final result.
e.g. Jeff Plumb, Alois Rosario, 4 - 3, Gao Jun, Jasna Reed, 4 - 2
If 2 entries are identical the first entrant will be the winner.

How do you enter?

Just add a comment below . As a tip check the other entries first to make sure that someone else hasn't put in the same entry as you have.

I thought everyone knew Boll, Schlager and Kreanga aren't competing in the Worlds.....

Here's the article: http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf_full_story1.asp?ID=17902&Competition_ID=1792&

So I predict the final results will be dominated by the Chinese. It's sad my favorite players won't compete.

Mars commented...

Zhang Yining - Guo Yue 4-3

Duding commented...

Coach Alois, you said that the winner can choose between one of Pingskills DVDs. Is the shipment free of charge? Can the winner choose the Serving Sercrets Revealed DVD?

Nugz commented...

on the 30-Apr-2009 03:17:04 AM

Coach, is there a possibility that you will give away rubbers as a price for your contests? Like Yasaka Pyre?

Erik commented...

on the 30-Apr-2009 03:19:42 AM

Coach, I agree with Nugz... The prices of the rubbers and your DVDs are almost the same. Could you please give rubbers as prizes?

Mario commented...

on the 30-Apr-2009 03:23:24 AM

No offense Nugz and Erik but I think that's too much... Let Coach decide for himself. We are only joining a contest so let us not be demanding about the prizes.

Mars commented...

on the 05-May-2009 12:31:31 AM

It seems that Brenda and me are the only entries that are plausible to win... Good Luck Brenda!

Brenda commented...

on the 05-May-2009 12:33:16 AM

Thanks JM! Same to you...

Lee Ann commented...

on the 05-May-2009 12:46:38 AM

Coach, is the Triple DVD pack included in the options for the prize?

Alois from PingSkills said...

on the 05-May-2009 06:19:14 PM

Wang Hao beats Wang Liqin 4 - 0 and Zhang Yining beats Guo Yue 4 - 2. And the real winner is JM who predicted Wang Hao would beat Wang Liqin 4 - 2 and Zhang Yining would beat Guo Yue 4 - 3. Congratulations JM!

Mars commented...

on the 05-May-2009 10:19:46 PM

Thanks Coach!

Mars commented...

on the 05-May-2009 10:27:51 PM

How do I claim the prize?

raj commented...

on the 08-May-2009 03:00:54 AM
