Subject: NCTTA - results from the first meet

Hi everyone,

I would like to briefly inform you about the results of yesterday's NCTTA meet
at Johns Hopkins. There were eight schools present at the meet - U Maryland, U
Pen, Penn State, Johns Hopkins, Howard, Drexel, Lafayette College, and
Princeton.

In our match against Maryland, Pan Lin played Han Xiao (2545) in an exciting
contest that featured loop-to-loop rallies among other things. Pan was up 2:1,
10-5 in the fourth game, but in a tremendous upset, Han Xiao managed to come
back and win the match. Mike Hsu was the only one who managed to win his match
against Maryland. Our overall result against Maryland was thus 1:3; U-Penn's was
0:4 (the doubles were not played due to time constraints).

Our match against U-Penn was 2:2 in singles, so the deciding match went to the
doubles, where Pan and Jason played against Casey and Shahab. This was a very
intense match. Jason and Pan won 11-3 in the first game, but Casey and Shahab
recovered in the next game, beating our team 11-6. In the end, the match went to
the fifth game, where U-Pen won 11-9.

The current standings in the division are: 1. Maryland, 2. U-Penn, 3. Princeton.
The first two schools advance to the nationals, and the meet next semester will
decide whether we make it or not.


Ivan
