Rules Regarding Service

Everyone has a different serve and everyone has a different tolerance level for the serves of others. Since it's not as cut-and-dried as the ball hitting the roof or going under the net and we don't have any sort of referee for these games, I'm going to let you govern yourselves on this one. If you object to a serve, call it. If you don't really care, just keep your yap shut and play on. I'm hoping that you play on. Remember, though, that if you do get all protesty, absolutely everyone at Centre Court is going to razz you to the point of distraction and your serve will come under intense scrutiny, so make sure that you can take the heat before you pipe up with your complaints.

The New Kirk Larkins!

Hey! Kirk wanted to have a better picture posted to accompany the Kirk Larkins Pill Count, so here it is! Mr. Crotch Target himself!

Please ignore the previous photo of Mr. Larkins. Thank you.

Trophy Now Being Constructed

I've commissioned in-house shop genius Andy Trickel to create a perpetual trophy for the Pong tournament. It is going to be an "Employee of the Month" style wall plaque, engraved with previous winners names and the year in which they won. Although you may recognize elements of the new trophy from previous awards ceremonies, it will be a brand new experience for everyone.

The unveiling date will be announced once Andy is closer to completion. It's ok to be excited about this. It's going to be way cool.

Player Profile: Ken Voss

A staple in the roto department since the days of Evolution, Ken is an avid chess player as well as a veteran of three Pong tournaments. Ken loves ham, Spam, and lamb, and also goes by the names Kenzel, Kensington, Chessington, King Pong - 8th Wonder of the World, and Mrs. Feasel.

Be sure to say hello when you see Ken at Centre Court.
