Xiamen’s 1st Dodgeball Tournament

On June 5th 2021, MTS participated in the first dodgeball tournament in Xiamen! 

Dodgeball is a popular North American sport where teams compete against each other to try to hit members of opposing teams all the while dodging balls being thrown their way. Since this sport was a first in Xiamen, our employees took the chance to try something new and exciting!

The day started with a round of qualifying matches which determined if teams went on to the playoffs. 
In total there were 8 teams which comprised of different local and foreign companies from Xiamen.

MTS’ first win secured its spot to the playoffs where we competed against the self proclaimed “Ouch Town”. Unfortunately, we lost that match which meant we didn’t get to play in the final round but we definitely enjoyed ourselves and look forward to the next match!
