This years Kulgames was one of my first assignments as the new KL Full Time Officer. But rather than just running around and handling administrative matters, I was glued down to manage the Table Tennis Competition. It was also one of my first times (that I can remember) handling a sporting event as chief umpire.
It was pretty fun and easy despite much running around to do. It was simply a matter of figuring out your systems and procedures before hand, getting reliable umpires and of course, praying for the conditions to be right.
We managed four categories, Junior Singles, Junior Doubles, Senior Single and Senior Doubles. It was just eleven (11) points for a set, with the best two sets (out of three) proceeding to the finals (there was a qualifying round - so the Boys all get to play a few times). During the finals (as in the top 4), we increased it to the best of three sets out of five, to make it just a little more fun.
In the end, turns out that 4th KL did a clean sweet - winning a 3 of the 4 categories, with 2nd KL taking the Senior Doubles.
All in all, a very good KulGames. Special thanks to Mr Terence Tay, the chief organiser and Mr Vincent Puah and Benny Tham for being the umpires for Table Tennis. And of course, glory to God for his faithful guiding hands!
