Writing Starter #31

The best part about my family is our enthusiasm and passion during our yearly ping pong tournaments. We always build a giant bracket (similar to March Madness) with all of the family members and then battle to the championship.  The table we use is about 80 years old, and we're all used to every dip and flaw of the sagging net.  It's like home court for us.  For the longest time, I always lost to my older cousins, and my uncles with their unforgiving spinning slams.  But now I've been the champion two years in a row.
