PROLOGUE
Good day my fellow Steemians. It's a great honour to share my dairy game on my days' experience. Before I go into details, I hope you are doing great and you are enjoying your membership on Steemit. I want to share my table tennis tournament with my students at school. The tournament lasted for three days. Let's go there...
THE GREAT TOURNAMENT
The tournament began on a Wednesday during the break time, between 12:00 pm to 12: 35 pm, and was scheduled to last for 3 days,i.e. to end on the Friday and to be played only during break time. The contest was between only 6 players, grouped in two's. Each contest only last for 8 minutes due to how short the break period is. Basically, only the junior secondary students were involved. Nevertheless, the tournament has no price tag. It was just for fun.
DAY 1: THE GROUP/QUARTERFINAL STAGE
I opened the tournament with my opponent, I.e. group A and I was player 2. It was a very tough one because my opponent is fairly professional in the game. Anyways, the match ended to my favour. Here is the result of day 1 contest:
| Groups | Player 1 | Player 2 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 2 | 4 |
| B | 3 | 4 |
| C | 5 | 2 |
After the contest, the next match was scheduled as thus:
- Winner A vs Winner C
- Winner B vs Best loser
DAY 2: SEMIFINAL STAGE
It seems that the contest became tougher. The winners of the previous contest seems to be very good with tennis bat. Luckily for me, I was more professional than the player I stood against. I and my opponent played first (match one) followed by the next contestants. I became the player 1 this time yet, I won comfortably. However, the other match was even tougher than mine. The two players played with the last drop of their blood but at last, one person emerged the winner. Here is the result for the contest:
| Match | Player 1 | Player 2 |
|---|---|---|
| One | 2 | 4 |
| Two | 3 | 4 |
The winners of day 2 contest are to play final. There is no 3rd place match because the contest is not very official and has no price tag; we came together to play for fun.
DAY 3: THE GRAND FINALE
Literally, The Friday morning I was to play the final with my opponent emerged with a sweet atmosphere of gladness. I was full of positive expectation and saw myself as the champion after the game. When it struck 12:00 noon, I went to the game ground waiting for my opponent as well as watching the speculators assist with setting up the tennis table. At about 12:10 pm the contest began. My first and second service gave me points and I started feeling on top of the world. The world turned upside down when my opponent equalized and gave me a lead, 3 - 2. Immediately, I became more serious and played with every dexterity I have but to no avail. Indeed, I fought tooth and nail but my opponent shamed me with a 5 - 3 win. Finally, my student won the contest and I was glad he did. I, also, gifted the winner a bottle of soft drink and a snack to eat as an energy refill.
Myself and all the contestants. The winner standing at my right.
CONCLUSION
The game was really competitive and the most fun part of it is the love we shared as we played each other despite that I am their teacher, they played against me with such boldness and respect. I really enjoyed myself. I also appreciate @kingreechy for his great mentorship.
