JONATHON LIAN FOOTHILLS X<\/strong><\/p>\n

GOLD DOLLAR UPSET OPEN TABLE TENNIS TOURNAMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday November 13, the Knoxville Table Tennis Club hosted one of their better tournaments of the year, the Jonathon Lian Foothills X Gold Dollar Upset Open.\u00a0\u00a0This tournament was named in honor of a special young man, Jonathon Lian, the grand upset winner in the previous tournament, the Foothills IX Gambler Gold Dollar Upset Open.\u00a0\u00a0There were 18-upsets during this tournament.<\/p>\n

The Upper divisions were characterized by play befitting that of National events. There were 9-players rated above 2000, some of whom could have been under rated judging from their play. The matchup in the final Championship round could not have been predicted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end, however, the top seed, Richard Doverman from Potomac, Maryland prevailed over third seed, John Mar from Atlanta.\u00a0\u00a0This final began at what appeared to be a walkthrough for Doverman, but that was not to be.\u00a0\u00a0After being down 2-0, Mar came back with blistering loops and smashes to win the third game at 4.\u00a0\u00a0From that point on, the games see-sawed, back and forth, with Doverman winning at 5, Mar at 4, and finally, Doverman took the seventh and final game at 11-6. (See Photo, Richard left, John right.) For their efforts Doverman and Mar rode off into the night with $500.00 and $300.00, respectively.<\/p>\n

Yuichi Yageyama, after hard-fought losses, to John Mar, 7,-6,-9, 10, and -4, and to Richard Doverman -9,-5, and -9, won third place by defeating Liedy Handoko at 7, -7, -7, 8, and 5.\u00a0\u00a0Yuichi won $200.00 for his efforts.<\/p>\n

Other great matches saw John Mar narrowly defeating Yevgeny Puzyrev at -8, -9, 9, 10, and 6:\u00a0\u00a0John Mar defeating Petro Stirbu at 7, -9, -9, 7, and 6:\u00a0Richard Doverman defeating Liedy Handoko at -8, 5, 7, -5, and 9:\u00a0\u00a0Di Di De Souza defeated Slawomir Waclawik at-3, -5, 8, 9, and 7; and Slawomir Waclawik defeated Liedy Handoko -9, 8, 8, -7, and 7.<\/p>\n

The other results were:<\/p>\n

Division A<\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0Jude Lam (Knoxville) 1st<\/sup>, Guido Schnable 2nd<\/sup>, Kui Zhang 3rd<\/sup>, and Yoshiyuki Okawa 4th\u00a0<\/sup>were all money winners.<\/p>\n

Division B<\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0Tatiana Peskova 1st<\/sup>, Albert Zhang 2nd<\/sup>, Carl Bradley 3rd<\/sup>, and Roger Dickson 4th<\/sup>, again all were money winners.<\/p>\n

Division C<\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0Perry Smith 1st<\/sup>, Art Xu 2nd<\/sup>, Anene Onyemelukwe 3rd<\/sup>, and Kirin Kasichayanula 4th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
