Without already knowing how it ended.
Finding out when a match starts in my time zone, which table it’s on and where to watch it, without stumbling across the result. Then searching through a video that covers several matches, with my eyes half closed to avoid spoilers.
That has often been my experience of following international table tennis. One day I got tired of that, that's when I built this website.
Here, match times automatically adjust to your time zone, and YouTube links take you straight to the beginning of each match. If you join a live match late, the link takes you back to its start, so you can watch from the first point without seeing the current score.
You can keep results hidden and hide selected players from upcoming matches, too. After all, seeing a name in the next round can be enough to give the result away.
I built this for myself, but it turns out I wasn’t alone. If you love table tennis as much as I do, and want more time watching and less time figuring out how: Welcome, enjoy the game!
