When should I start going to tournaments

Hi Alois
I have been playing seriously for about 6 months and I was wanting to know when I should go to a tournament. I'm not too worried about my rating and I am mostly doing it for the enjoyment of the game. I did mention the nearest club is an hour away in a past question so i go there every so often when I can, but I am definitely one of the worst players there.

Hi Bennett,
Go for it. Just enter and see what it is like. If you think that you’re out of your depth, the worst thing that can happen is that you go there an dare able to watch and learn from a whole lot of good players.

The Reverse Backhand Smash You Should Never Try (But Alois Did Anyway)
🔥 The Reverse Backhand Smash – should you use it? Absolutely not. Will Alois keep doing it? Absolutely yes. 😂
This isn’t a shot we’d recommend for your next match… but Alois swears he can’t miss it.
Wild technique, questionable decision-making, and surprisingly solid results.
🎯 Don’t try this at home. Or do. Just don’t blame us if it goes into the stands!

You'll love it. I started to go to tournaments around the same time as you (in terms of serious table tennis commitment) and so far I've enjoyed them all. You'll get the opportunity to meet a lot of people and learn from a lot of great players.
Good luck Bennett. Let us know how you go.
