The Knoxville Table Tennis Club conducted the Foothills V Open at the Phyllis Wheatley YWCA on August 23, 2008 with 43-players in attendance. Players ranged from Cleveland, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia, and from Charlotte, North Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee. The play resulted in 24-upsets: the greatest upset came by the hand of young Peyton Fakharpour, from Lexington, Kentucky, in an underdog win, where he overcame a 416-point pre-game deficit to win third place in Division D. The winner of the Championship Division was DiDi De Souza, the perpetual winner of this bi-annual event, from Atlanta Georgia.

Complete results are as follows:

Division:            First Place:        Second Place:        Third Place:

Championship    DiDi De Souza    Michiya Suzuki    Petro Stirbu

        A.            Babak Fakharpour    Jude Lam        Xiaofeng Guo

        B.            Willy Xiao        Kareem Olugbenga    Roger Dickson

        C.            John Pahl        Luke Jackson        David Gong

        D.            Ron Arcaro        Ian Jasitt        Peyton Fakharpour

        E.            Duke Eliacin        Woody Gove        Angelia Eliacin

The next tournament will be held on November 8, 2008.  This tournament, an idea of the Knoxville Table Tennis Club, will be unique and the first of its kind to be held anywhere.  It is called the Gold Digger’s Upset Open.  This is a tournament where the lowest level players can win money through three levels of upsets, not just the top players as is the usual case.  Anyone wishing more information about this unusual event can contact Bill Neely at (865) 382-2478.
