The Dean of Students of Tishk International University (TIU) launched a table tennis tournament on February 8th, 2021, for all TIU students. The tournament lasted for one month, during which 94 players participated. The final match was held with the contribution of both students and lecturers.

Table Tennis is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth using table tennis rackets. The game is conducted on a hard table divided by a net. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Our tournament was performed as a knock-out system; a single-elimination match is a form of an elimination contest where the loser of each game is immediately eliminated from winning the championship.

The final match was won by Abdul-Malek Ismail Rostam, a Medical Analysis Student who took 1st place, and Mustafa Ismail Hassan from the Civil Engineering Department took second place with (3-1) sets win. Mr. Ali Bala, Dean of Students, awarded both contestants and appreciated their wonderful performance and participation.

TUI will always support and motivate students to participate in all sorts of tournaments, events, and voluntary activities. We wish success to all participants and do look forward to holding similar competitions in various fields here at TIU.
