Tuesday RR's are still going on as scheduled.
ICC Table Tennis Center will be closed to observe the holiday on 11/26 in the

Please be considerate to other players. Let me know if I mistakenly left out any one or you won't be able to make it ASAP. A no-show without informing me first will result in a suspension for the following week.
Wow... Looking at the records of all division, I found div 3 is the most competitive... No 1 dominant team in that division.

Hi! All
Congratulation to Aarsh Shah, Diane Jiang, Aashay Patel & Krish Avvari for being sponsored by Butterfly & ICC.
They will join other sponsored bay area players Ariel Hsing (Butterfly & ICC) and Lily Zhang (Jools & ICC).
All other ICC talented kids program students are fully sponsored by Juic & Paddle Palace.
We already received more than 60 entries (54 listed already and got 7-8 in the mail today) for our ICC California State open just in 3-4 days. Event number 19 is almost at max capacity. Looks like all the events will be sold out in one week.
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail. yahoo.com
U1750 is full. The capacity is 32 and we have 39 entries so far. Only the first 32 entries will be guaranteed a spot. We are trying to find a solution to increase the capacity but there is no guarantee. If we haven't received your entries for the event, you definitely won't get a spot in this event.
U1950 is also full. (48) If you haven't turned in your entry, please do not enter the event.
U2100 is approaching the max cap (48), too. If you intend to play the U2100 event, do so now!
Top 16 players as of 11/16/2009: ICC California State Tournament

Turn in your entry early for the ICC December tournament. (entry form) Some of the events are being filled quickly! The U1750 is already full. The entries over 32 may or may not get a spot. We are trying to find a solution to increase the capacity but there is no guarantee. U1950 is also approaching the max cap quickly!

The U1950 event is limited to 32 entries since we will need to rearrange the court for the Open event. As of last night, there were 28 entries already. I'm sure it will be sold out by the deadline. If you want to play the event, turn in your entry early. First come first serve.
There is a small correction on Bruce's email. We will accept up to 48 entries in U1950 event. We already received a lot of entries in the mail today. It looks like all the events are going to be full by next week. If you are intrested to play in any event please register ASAP.
U 1750 is sold out
After receiving 8 more entries in U1750 by mail today we are already at 4 extra entries. We are not accepting any more entry for U1750 event.
