You might have heard of the PT3 (Puma Table Tennis Tournament) on Jeff Staple’s blog. The tournament by Puma, Staple Design and Rude kicked off on July 22nd at the NYTTF in Chinatown and teams from Fader, Vice, APT, PSYOPS, Comedy Central, Staple Design, Spike TV, and Theme Magazine are all competing for the championship. Complimentary Tiger Beer, Vitamin Water, an on site masseuse and all you can eat sweet Chinese steamed buns kept the players’ strength up for a marathon game of paddling. Team RUDE took the tournament over PSYOPS in three sets. The singles match will be held at the NYTTF on July 29th.
