BCD+A Draws

The WASHINGTON STATE BCD+A OPEN TOURNAMENT draws are OUT!!!!

Players, go to tournament software to check out who you'll be playing against!

The rest of you should check out the draws and make a guess as who you think will be taking home the trophies as champions this year!

Wonderfully enough, the results are hard to guess thanks to all of the new names! It's great to watch the badminton community continue to grow. Competition will be high, though, so get your game face on!

I hear long-time reigning champions Sisavat K. and Masako C. (who were defeated by Curtis S. and Amy J. during the Husky Open) won't be playing together this tourney. Word's gone around that Masako's ankle (?) isn't feeling too great. But don't let your guard down too soon--Ufiliya D. will be taking her place, and that's definitely no step lower.

4 girls from the junior team make up the round robin draw of Women's Single A...and they're all friends...and they all train together. It'll be fun to see how that one turns out.

Although there are no 'seeded' entries, you can pretty much tell (by the organization of the brackets) who would have been placed as a seeded player/pair had there been numbers.

Just a reminder: Be friendly to your opponents. Don't be afraid to smile and introduce yourself beforehand, even if you lose...you'll realize that once you get to know them, #1) you make more friends, and #2) they'll often give you pointers on how you can improve...(SO YOU CAN BEAT THEM NEXT TIME....!!!)

Be sure to get there EARLY just so you get a chance to warm up and you don't have to line up for registration.
Starting times:
Friday: 5:30 PM- Registration
6:00 PM – Mixed Doubles
Saturday
8:30 AM – Registration
9:00 AM -- Men’s Singles
11:00 AM -- Women’s Singles
1:00 PM -- Men’s Doubles
3:00 PM -- Women’s Doubles
Sunday
10:00 AM -- – Semi if necessary and finals

Again, it will be held at SEATTLE BADMINTON CLUB this year. Make sure you know how to get there. There's plenty of parking, so no need to worry. But if you can, do your best to carpool.

See you then!
