About

From the people who brought you American Idol, Grey’s Anatomy, and Iconoclasts, came the Las Vegas HardBat Classic™—the biggest baddest throwdown in the history of table tennis.

FremantleMedia Enterprises, The Mark Gordon Company and @radical.media were honored to welcome 500 players and hustlers to a celebration of the sport of table tennis, and an event designed to bring the game back to its roots. With more than 100 years of combined experience in entertainment and event planning, our goal was to create an experience that leveled the tables for all players, and revived the original spirit of the game that has been played in basements around the world by everyone from mailmen to millionaires. Thanks to all of our partners, sponsors and participants, we succeeded.

On September 27 at 3pm we invite you to watch all the action on ESPN, and find out who won the first-ever HardBat Classic™ title, and won the $100,000 Grand Prize. See you then.
