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.

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.
