Congratulations to our 2021 tournament winners. The Moses Cup was played last week and awarded to Duncan Tenhagen. This is Duncan's first title. Duncan is the youngest player to win the cup (18 years old) since 1983 when then 18 year old Brian Ailinger took the top prize. Duncan beat Zachary Moses in the finals This was Zachary's first finals appearance.

The B Championship was won by Jonathan Hayes who beat Andrea Moses in the finals. This makes Jonathan a 3 time Class B Champion (15, 19, 21) and breaks the 2x record shared by Mike Marong Sr (87 & 04) and Bob Pack Sr. (90 & 92). This was Andrea's first appearance in the finals.

We are going to try to play a small scaled down event this year on the evening of December 27th, 2021. We will probably only have 1 table and it might be played outside or in a unheated garage in the Buffalo, NY area. If you are interested in playing please shoot me an email. ([email protected])
Last year’s tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic. We hope we can sneak one in this year to keep the decades old tradition going. We will see.

Due to Covid 19 no tournament was held in 2020. Hoping to play again, probably in December of 2021. Be safe.

A note from the founder:
In the fall of 1983 the first match of what would turn out to be an annual tradition of fun, food and ping pong competition began. The first tournament was actually played over the period of several weeks in the garage of Herky Moses house. Herky, Bob, Ken and Doug Moses competed with Cousin Jim Pack and family friends and neighbors Gregg Prieto and Dave McCarty. Word of the tournament spread and everybody with a table in there basement claimed to be a ping pong guru and thus “The games begun”. The first two years were a “ping pong frenzy” as many tournaments were played and more and more players joined the fun. We finally settled on an annual format and that is what continues to this day. We have had hundreds of different players compete over the years. Players come and go and some show up year after year like clockwork. It’s been a good time and a fun tradition. The tournament has shifted venues from time to time and the 2019 games will be played on 12/27/19 at 6pm at 789 Gilmore Ave, N. Tonawanda, NY 14120. I would like to thank all players and supporters who have helped keep this tradition alive. Douglas Moses
