PONG
FUN PONG SEASONS
In 2017, I found a version of pingpong online & started playing.
For my 4th season (played April-December 2023), I did an “exhibition”. I tested a new version of what I created: leagues & divisions including 1 team from each of the 50 states. I chose the location (city-town) for each state’s team, named each team (based on something near’n’dear to me or a nod to, or in memory of, a place or person in my life) & organized-named the leagues & divisions.
I enjoyed that experiment & considered it a “success”. So, for my 5th season (starting January 2024), I expanded the “season” by 4 games (playing teams within your division twice vs. playing every team once in the “exhibition season”), for a total of 53 games. Below are the results after each game of Season 5.
