Air Hockey tri cup Page 1
"Tri-cup" Competition
Overview
Let me start by stating that this event was designed to promote team play, increase skill level by exposing
players to different types and levels of pressure, as well as promote the sport of Air Hockey overall. The
events were chosen in an attempt to level the playing field some (which is nearly impossible to level
completely and someone will always argue differently) as well as increase the incentive to play by offering
events that players of all levels can feel competitive participating in. I hope everyone enjoys this event and
sees it for what it is as opposed to what it may not be in their eyes.
