OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Well, let's see.

Hangdog has met me, and so now has JeanC. Rokphish has too. I've also met a lot of forum members who are no longer current. Rodderz has met someone several times who knows me since I was a sub-teen. So I'm pretty sure that makes me real

Rodderz, Cobalt (I think) and other non-current members have met Haggisv. And I've spoken to him on the phone. I've also met someone who knows him (who happens to be the inventor of Spinmax too). So I think he is real too. Mind you, we could all just be in the MATRIX, which would make none of this or anyone here real.....except perhaps THE ONE!!

Reb, I like those odds on the head to head, are you taking bets? Can't lose if put a bit on both.

Yes, I've had a hit against Haggisv, I averaged about 3 points per game. I've improved a bit since then though so I'd expect to average 3.5 now.

"Bout"?
Let's vote. Should we ask them to put boxing gloves on? Or maybe wrestling? How about sumo wrestling?

If I go to Dandy tomorrow, is there a chance of recording an amateur video of this match? Hahaha

No bets. Can't bet on something that didn't happen (if no video comes out)

It wouldn't matter if I did this; I've got no reputation to lose!
Still, though, I've got no clue as to how good you guys are - USATT is giberrish to me!
A vague idea of ratings central ratings might be helpful?

I don't think either of us have ratings, I certainly don't since I don't play tournaments, and since we're from different states there is no AU rating system that has us both.

Although it would be nice to show a video, we certainly didn't plan to meet to show the world who's the better player. We've been online friends for about 10 years, so finally getting a chance to meet for real is just awesome.

I'm enjoying the banter though.

Indeed the banter is why I began this thread...give the forum some lively ideas to throw around (maybe at our expense)

Edit: I do have an RC rating, but its not got enough results to be accurate. And a couple of underrated players this year have torn it to shreds even worse than it was lol

Fair enough:


You could troll us all and film a match with you both playing with your non-dominant hands!
Or hardbats.

You both have a much more relevant and up-to-date rating that you seem to be conveniently forgetting about

A New OOAK Ranking - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29251&hilit=forum+rating

10. Haggisv (USATTE : ~2200)

19. Reb (RC: ~1300(underrating) / USATTE: ~2050-2100)

It could be close, but one things certain - there's only one winner in this "contest"

The only down side is you're both being too nice to each other. I can see it now,

"oh I'm sorry Reb, I appear to have imparted more top spin which has reacted unusually to your LP's and gone into the net - please forgive me".
"Oh haggivs, my dear mate, that's quite alright as it was a very good shot you just played"
"why Reb that's mighty sporting of you"

Could you two ever engage in trash talk with each other?

Debater, have you had spies out when I play? I talk to my opponents like this all the time

Fact is Haggisv plays mid-level State Level in South Aussie.

We don't have a weekly state level comp in Victoria, but I'm in Division 3 of my club's A grade. I think Vic's A1 club levels would play at the top end of South Aussie's state level. So , I'm guessing Haggisv would play a strong A2 level in my club, or maybe even low A1. I've beaten some of our A1 players and played in A2 a couple of times (with a 48% win ratio last time I did). So my best game might take a set or 2 off Haggisv, but that's about as trashy as I can be lol.
