70 teams and 380 people gathered at the Sports Club for the night tournaments, setting a record for the largest participation ever. On both nights, engineers scored first place points as part of the Rector's Cup.
Night Volleyball
As in previous years, the night tournaments were split over two different nights. On the night of October 11, at the volleyball tournament, the organizers allocated 36 teams directly to the play-off table with a minus round. At the end of the hot sports night that lasted until 4:30 a.m., the team "Winxid" (mixed team - Jasper Laus, Kermo Palmsaar, Martin Voit, Vanessa, Dolores Tooming, Elina Lebedeva, Mathias Külvi) took the title, without losing a single game during the entire tournament..
The second place went to the team "VK MuuMuu" (mixed team - Merylin Pähkel, Raino Marten Rammo, Väle Võlma, Kaidi Kleinson, Renate Hinno, Sten Saar) who won in previous tournaments, and the third place was once again the mixed team "Segasummasuvila" (Markus Soodla, Meris Pärna, Sirely Veri, Julia Tkatšenko, Laura Kaseorg, Markus Hõbesalu).
Our dear lecturers and university staff with the team "Akadeemilised ässad" (Merli Reidolf, Kirsti Rumma, Siim Lomp, Karl-Villem Võsa, Allan Niidu, Simo Ilomets, Margit Egerer), were also very good, and they achieved a high sixth place.
Competition points could only be earned for the Rector's Cup if all team members belonged to the same faculty. With this in mind, the highest points were earned by the School of Engineering's "Seksikad insenerid".
