The format for each matchup will be as follows.. Each team designates a labeling A, B, C of their players. Four matches will be played; A vs A, B vs B, C vs C, and a doubles match of any two from each team. Each match will be best of three 21 point games. If a player can't make a matchup, their team can still play as long as two members are present, with one member covering two matches. If more than one player is absent then that matchup can either be rescheduled, or else will be forfeited (ie three losses). Playoffs are Saturday January 6th at Skinnycorp HQ. Matches will take place at the Hellige pingpong mansion at 2639 N Monticello, and at skinnyCorp HQ at 4043 N Ravenswood.

Here you'll notice that the ITTF changed the official game length from 21 to 11 points, and that there are specific rules about the service. 21 point games are easier to handicap and people are more used to it, so our games will be to 21.
