November 7th marked the first anniversary of BadmintonSquare! The first tournament that was promoted on the blog was the BCD+A 2010, so it's only fitting that we celebrate in the very weekend of BCD+A 2011!
BadmintonSquare was created to expand the badminton community. Badminton has done so much for me in the past few years. Through this sport I've met so many amazing people--local players, international athletes and big time all-stars! My teammates and opponents became my friends, and these friends became my family. Without the badminton community, I have no idea how I would have kept my sanity throughout my high school and university years. BadmintonSquare is giving me the opportunity to give back, and hopefully I can share what I've learned with you.
It's been great fun running this blog for the past year, and there will only be more improvements to come! Here are some weird facts about BadmintonSquare to keep your hunger satiated:
The most popular post of all time, winning by a LARGE 'viewer' vote, the T-Shirt Design post! Looks like badminton players are quite stylish. I've been collecting photos of designs from tournaments all over the world, so I'll be sure to post them up soon!
A majority of my viewers use Internet Explorer and Firefox to keep updated with their badminton news, but I've gotten a few other ones that I've never heard of before. Iron? Rockmelt? Snazzy-- where are you guys from?
iPods, iPads, iPhones....Androids, Blackberries-- glad you guys are keeping in touch on-the-go! Let me know if I can make the blog easier for your small-screen viewing pleasure :)
We've gotten hits from all over the world-- the US, Canada, Phillippines, Singapore, Myanmar, India, Malaysia, UK, Afghanistan, Romania, Latvia, Germany, France, Indonesia, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Korea....AND MORE! Send me your tournament information and help me make BadmintonSquare INTERNATIONAL!
I got a little bored and googled "BadmintonSquare" and I found a song called "Breakdance on the corner of Badminton Square"......WILL DO! (Is it a remix of some sort?)
If there's anything you'd like to share -- tournaments, players profiles, tips and tricks...leave a comment in the comment box! BadmintonSquare is here to help you improve your game and expand your community, so let me know what I can do to help!
