The seventh annually held NTTA Master’s Cup, hosted by the Namibian Table Tennis Association (NTTA) in association with Wernhil Park, Broll Namibia and Paco Engineering, was yet again a massive success and crowd pleaser. The event, which took place on Saturday, 10 March 2018, set high standards and met high expectations. The matches between Namibia’s top eight ranked senior players had hundreds of people in Windhoek’s Wernhil Park in amazement throughout the day. Most people stopped on their way through the Mall to catch a glimpse of the six (6) Senior and two (2) Junior players, including a Junior Lady, in action. According to the Organizer (NTTA), this tournament is always a test of sportsmanship and technique as the playing space is small and there is also the added hype from the large Wernhil Park crowd.
The Master’s Cup is a promotional event, aimed at generating awareness for the Sport. The NTTA this year round, decided to add an “Open to the Public” event to its Master Cup Programme where members from the public could tests their skills. This addition was a massive hit and will definitely become part of future Master Cups. As per NTTA rules and regulations, the eight best-placed senior players of the previous Season (2017), went head to head to determine the Masters Cup Champion for 2018. The matches were played in a three game must play system, the winner being determined by the highest number of games won.
