In the heart of the midtown, the most avoided and despised neighborhood in all of Manhattan,
at the confluence of massive tourism and corporate business, the Midtown Games were born as
a way for New Yorkers to reclaim their city in the spirit friendly competition.
The 4th Midtown Games will be a table tennis street tournament in glorious heart of chaos!
We will be playing a slight hybrid of regular table tennis where each couple
tapes a line about waist high on the wall and plays with the one bounce rule,
similar to handball, but with paddles and ping pong balls.
This game serves as a metaphor for the current back and forth power struggle happening
between the American people and the financial powers today.

In the most densely populated city in the United States,
in the most densely populated neighborhood in that city,
at the most densely populated time in that neighborhood
a game for the people, a game to reclaim their city and raise their spirits.
Thank you to these beautiful people!
