\"\"<\/a>We have a lot of makeup games yesterday and more close fights.<\/p>\n

Group Y finished all their games. David Ho and Chris Tam came back. Results and positions are shown in here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Of note, Chris bought a new paddle while in HK, still jet lag but had a spirited run. He now uses a DHS Hurricane 3 (no. 19?) _George has 1 rubber like that\u00a0 and an Donic Acuda S2<\/p>\n

Group S still has the following unfinished matches because Victor could not make it back from New Jersey:. Victor against John, Kathy, Sonny John against Cathy.<\/p>\n

In Group S, 2 players finished all their rounds (Andrew with 8 points and George with 10 point). George ranked third behind Sonny who has 12 points and 1 game to play and John with 8 points with 2 games to play)<\/p>\n

Of note: John arrived without his paddle, “complained” like crazy, rent a paddle and finally bought a completely new paddle from MTTC (Donic Blue fire M-1 rubber?) and was the biggest winner and hardest fighter in this group. He has 8 points in 3 games (two 5 setters with Andrew which he won and then with Sonny which he was leading 2-0, according to Sonny and blew out in the 5th)<\/p>\n

Likely scenario in playoffs:<\/p>\n

Group Y #1 Michael Luk plays Group S\u00a0 #2 John Kan (likely outcome based on points and games to play) in SF Group Y #2 David Ho plays Group S #1 Sonny Sie (ditto, he already has the most points in all group at 12) in SF<\/p>\n

Position 5-6 is between #3 in each group (Wilfred and likely George in a battle of Cl 69 honours)<\/p>\n

Position 7-8 is between #4 in each group (Jeff and likely Andrew who picked up 5 precious points yesterday, 2 from John and 3 from Kathy in Group S)<\/p>\n

The rest are too early to tell and Andrew will have to decide whether #5 in Group Y plays Number 5 & 6 in Group S to decide ranking 9 – 11. Kathy is entitled to handicaps.<\/p>\n

Questions from Sonny: How do you tell the characteristic and suitability of each type of rubber?<\/p>\n

Depending on your style of play, you are either looking for control, spin or tackiness etc It’s an easy read:<\/p>\n
