# Employee Ping Pong Tournaments Trend Hunter Got Competitive for its Tournament at SPiN Galactic By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-03-31 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spin-galactic References: [toronto.spingalactic](http://toronto.spingalactic.com/) & [spingalactic](https://spingalactic.com/) Trend Hunter's long storied history of camaraderie and togetherness came to an abrupt halt when teams were pitted against each other in the Trend Hunter [ping pong tournament](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiburon-tables) at [SPiN Toronto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oche). Friends became rivals and paddles became offensive weapons in the face of pitched ping pong combat. Okay so maybe it wasn't as intense as that, but for the most recent [fun day at SPiN Toronto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ballroom-bowl-expands), the Trend Hunter team put on their best competitive faces. SPiN provided delicious snacks, professional tables and more ping pong balls than any one group of people could handle. Teams of two were pitted against each other round after round until the dust settled and only two remained. Regardless of where you placed though, SPiN Toronto was a fun and intense experience for all ages and skill levels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Office Sports Competitions:** Companies can encourage friendly competition and team building by organizing in-office ping pong or other sports tournaments. - **Casual Sports Facilities:** Businesses can offer employees an outlet for stress relief or team building by providing access to casual sports facilities like ping pong tables in break rooms or office spaces. - **Gamification of Work:** Incorporating elements of friendly competition and games into workplace culture can increase employee morale and engagement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Recreation and Sports Facilities:** Facilities that offer casual and competitive sports activities, like SPiN Toronto, can provide opportunities for businesses to organize team building events or offer employee perks. - **Human Resources:** HR departments can incorporate playful and competitive elements into work culture to boost employee morale and engagement. - **Corporate Event Planning:** Event planners can incorporate casual and competitive sports activities, like ping pong tournaments, into corporate events to encourage team building and networking among employees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grass-Roots Golf Gatherings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/links-social-tour.md) - [Reflective Ping-Pong Parlour Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-point-installation.md) - [Cancer-Supporting Ping-Pong Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashfest.md) - [Design-Forward Pickleball Paddles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-henry.md) - [Toronto Gastro-Gaming Businesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oche.md) - [Cheeky Custom Rage Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-rage-room.md) - [Experience Cocktail Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirithouse-toronto.md) - [Pickleball-Themed Cosmetics Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-play-summer-activation.md) - [Exclusivity-Challenging Golf Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-town.md)
