U have got to be kidding me....whoever was incharge of pairing...simply focused on what sounds cool...rather then what is spectative....
they had 4 divisions: 1 for pro's(rated), 1 for basement, and so on....and 1 person qualifies from each onto semi final....I mean seriously.

It was rigged, but it was rigged from the start. I'm sure everyone who entered knew about the handicapping when they filled in their applications forms so they had the choice then whether to enter or not.
Jack Baker looks to me like someone who has played quite a bit of tennis as he plays like some of the kids at the club who have converted from tennis. Slow recovery after forehand strokes, quite sideways on BH away from the table, free arm held low and straight (almost looks like he is going to go for a 2 handed BH at times), naturally good at controlling chops. Maybe they will need to handicap the tennis players too next time.

Jack Baker is indeed a high-level tennis player, and Wayne Obertone was a competitive chopper in the 60s/70s.

the reason why it was rigged more than any other is the a player from a BAR won. a BAR! This thing was sponsored by BUDWEISER. Its only fitting a player from the BAR group would win, making more people want to play next time at a BAR and drink more BUDWEISER!

I didn't have time to finish uploading the file to the server while I had Internet access. There was 1 more 700 Mbyte wmv Video along with this 1 GByte file that didn't finish. The Flash version should work. --Rob www.Outpost81.com |
