STTA 2024 - NYC by Noel Angot. "Ali / Long / Mei / Karen / Shifu / Sam / Hao / Bobby / Jacky / Cody - to name a few Rules and regulations: NEVER come paddle less. Go home try again. Keep it on you at all times. Speak up who's in line? Say hi. eye contact. Kind eye contact. Long might cut the line. He's worked all day be gracious. Rally. Kaisu! Actually it's kãi shi. Kaisu (Hokkien) would mean afraid to lose/fear of losing out. lose that before the table. Hit the light pole? Do over. You win? you stay. More random rules: Keeping park clean / I'm worried about visitors recording them for aesthetic.. maybe enforcing a courtesy rule about keeping phones tucked from view... they will most likely be told off Doubles are usually when the park is busy (no one has a stick up their ass) its for fun / playing against wind and the pressure of a crowd of strangers watching / everyone's at an automatic disadvantage. KEEP UR COUNT. "They" add points but don't disagree with them If its doubles and the lights r up ur gonna b hanging out for a minute everyones sharing the table Just jotting down random rules. Its 40-60 people sharing a table over the course of a day ....and don't even try to play if u see bobby or Jacky the dude in the suit No shot of victory"
