Interesting new sport ??

Post by Hood »

Hi,

I have seen the tournament which was combination of chess and table tennis.
The match were combined of 1 chess game p 15 and 2 sets of table tennis.
The results were added and it gave the result. The usual swiss pairing was used. The draw in table tennis were allowed sets 1:1 gives 0.5 point.

Have you heard about similar competitions ?
