At TOPSPIN’s Nov. 2 meetup, a player can sign up for only one table at a time and must rejoin the queue after two match wins. The organizers say the rotation rules are intended to spread play across the group, which the listing welcomes from beginners to experts.
A meetup with a new name and home
TOPSPIN describes itself as a revival of the Fat Cat Meetup group and says SPIN is its new home. The Nov. 2 listing places this edition at Spin New York on East 23rd Street.
The format is a social, shared-table meetup rather than a session advertised for one skill level: the event welcomes beginners through experts. Players should expect to take turns under the group’s rotation rules, not to keep a table for themselves.

The rotation is part of the plan
The rules make queueing and changing partners part of the session. Short initial warm-ups give way to immediate match starts, while the one-table signup and two-win limit send players back into the rotation. That structure is especially relevant for newcomers: the event is open to beginners, but the listing expects players to follow the same turn-taking rules as everyone else.
SPIN can lend paddles at no additional cost. The listing also advertises food and drink specials; it does not say those are covered by the $15 charge for play.

Check the RSVP list before setting out
Do not attend from the waitlist unless your status has moved to the yes list. Meetup may not notify you when that happens, and the listing warns that waitlisted members may receive emails resembling those sent to confirmed attendees. Check your status directly in the RSVP list.
If you can no longer attend, change your RSVP to “no” by noon on event day, including if you are waitlisted. A cancellation after the deadline or a no-show is counted as a no-show. A returning attendee is removed from the group after two no-shows; a first-time attendee is removed after one.
