The Table Tennis Triples and Modular Table Tennis System was a finalist in the Australian Next Big Thing Awards.
I love how the invention's "unique benefits" are listed on the award site:
"- More people play on one table: social benefits, reduced waiting times
- Greater shot range, fairer 'Triples' scoring system
- Conventional tables can be reversibly 'Triples' retrofitted
- Numerous games/table shapes possible with the MTTS sectors"

I have a great idea for the next version of this product: Table Tennis for doubles. Benefits:
- even more social: up to 4 people can play, it's one more player
- you can use any existing table without a need for retrofitting: 2 players on each side
