The tournament will consist of games totalling 120 points, with 30 points available for each sport. With the contest being long, luck should play little part in proceedings as the cream will rise to the top as the tournament progresses.
Last years women’s winner, Lydia Vas Nunes is now away in Germany so the event is wide open. It is difficult to gage what combination of expertise serves players best in this tournament, whether to be a jack of all trades or a master of one.
Two contenders who play all four sports at college level are Emily Scoot and Elin Rees so these should be able to gain sports at all disciplines. On the other hand, Caroline Watchurst excels at squash but is weak at table tennis so has the ability to take nearly all 30 points at squash but far fewer at table tennis.
In the men’s contest, last years winner and university table tennis player Jack Weavis is considered a strong favourite but faces stiff competition.
This is the second year of running for the tournament and all the proceedings are going to an AU charity with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance benefiting. You can still enter the tournament if you are interested by emailing cw540 or jw577 (both @york.ac.uk) before Wednesday 11th of June.
