CAMARILLO SENIOR TABLE TENNIS TOURNAMENT

On November 5, 2016, the 3rd annual senior table tennis tournament was held at Freedom gym , in Camarillo.

The tournament had a big turnout , and a few surprises.  The surprises began,  as the flyer was not exactly specific in the age, and as it ended up, a few younger players were admitted.  And a another surprise was , a younger player, unknown to all, was the player that won the singles division.  This person was Diego De Blas, and by winning the tournament, he defeated the 3rd, 2nd, and top seed to win it.  And also he did quite well in the doubles, knocking off the 2nd seed doubles team.  The tournament was organized by John Spohn, and the main supporter and organizer of the Camarillo club, which is where the tournament was held.  

Many from the club volunteered there time to help out and perform the different tasks needed to bring about the success of the tournament.  A shout out to Amy Akashi, for her help in ordering and organizing the lunch, for the players. And her help in contacting certain players!  Many players from the club helped in the setup and taking down of the tournament, as well as lunch time help.  Other then one player in the tournament, that surprised all, Aka-  Diego De Blas, it was a fun and exciting tournament, including Diego's stellar play. 

I was the one who organized the brackets, and Diego was the big bracket breaker!  The number one seed in doubles won, the team of Craig Burton and Gary Whiddon.  The team of Burton and Whiddon didn't let anyone break the doubles bracket. In  the women's division, Bonnie Renehan brought home the gold, going undefeated in her Round robin.   For more information about the Camarillo club, they have there own website, with lots of info on where to play, and articles and links for the avid player.
