When I was smaller I used to play a lot of ping pong, as a matter of fact I played competitively for a few years. But kids are fickle and change their minds and I eventually stopped to try soccer, judo, you name it. Anyway at the time unless I am going crazy, and correct me if I am wrong but a game of ping pong was the better of 2 sets with a set consisting of 21 points. I now live on a new campus residence where there is a ping pong table. So it brought me back years back and I started slowly but surely getting back into the game. At one point I couldn’t remember the specific of a rule so I searched online to clear the doubt and that’s when I saw that the game is now the better of 3 sets with a set consisting of 11 points! I mean, whaaaaat? That’s news to me. Big change. I obviously missed it (I must say I’ve been out of the game for 20 years). It’s a bit weird that sets are so short, definitely not a good change for those who need time to “settle into their sets”. I realize most of you won’ care, it’s not that they change the rules of football. On a side note I watched a few old clips of table tennis and I must say the things we wore at that time were funny, mini shorts and the like. Ah memories…
