MBF achieved top rankings in the A-class Finnish Championship singles and doubles in Ruskeasuo on November 23-24, 2024. Leon Viherlaiho and Jorma Lahtinen won the doubles championship and Leon won the singles silver medal.

In the team championship, MBF advanced to the quarterfinals after three consecutive 3-0 wins and then faced TIP-70, who were placed in the semifinals, in a very even battle. MBF's number one Lassi Lehtola won all his matches in the tournament and his two wins against TIP-70 created a chance for a surprise. Jorma Lahtinen played against Jimi Koivumäki, who won the A-class, and Leon Viherlaiho Tough matches against Aleksi Mustonen. They won their opening set and had set points to lead 2-0, but unfortunately lost in tight extra sets.
