Recently, we had many calls regarding the location of the tournament (and also where to drop the form in Milpitas). The site address is not listed in many of the map databases such as Yahoo Map, Google Map, etc.

If you really need a direction, you can enter the address below
991 Montague Expressway, Milpitas, CA 95035

Below is a link from Google Map that shows in detail of the location.
http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=991+Montague+Expressway,+Milpitas,+CA+95035

This is another link using Yahoo Maps
http://maps.yahoo.com/maps.py?&addr=991+Montague+Expy&csz=Milpitas,CA+95035

The 991 Montague Expy address is listed in most database. Smash City (the venu of the Yonex Bay Area Open Fall 2005) is in the same complex, the Fleming Business Park complex. You just have to drive inside a little more and find the right building which is number 1191.

Again the real address is:
1191 Montague Expressway, Milpitas, CA 95035

If you have any questions on directions, you can call Smash City directly at the number below:
Smash City Badminton club
1191 Montague Expressway
Milpitas, CA 95035
(408) 934-5800

Thank you,

We do not post our draw out. We only post our starting time for various reasons. In the future, we will only post A (Open) event draw.
