Chicken N Pickle isn&#8217;t having a singles league this session, which makes me very sad.<\/p>\n<p>The first session had 14 players &#8211; 8 men and 6 women. This last session only had 8 participants &#8211; 6 men and 2 women (just me and Anna). Anna ended up hurting her back so on our final night (the league tournament) I was the only female playing against 4 guys. There were only 5 of us who competed in the tournament. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/51133655730\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51133655730_79917a7605.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the end, we all finished according to our league ranking.
