1)
Who is still in the game after the morning session?
In MIXED DOUBLES all the seeded pairs are still in the event.
It is a little different in the MEN'S SINGLES (which is still
ongoing....!)
So far the two 9/16 seeds, Eric Pang and Dicky Palyama, both NED, are
out of the 2006 WBSO!
Pang lost to Li Yu, CHN and Palyama to Yeoh Kay Bin, MAS.
2)
Tommy Moesch, the guy you have gotten to know as the one who prints all
results am a friendly guy!
An multi-talented too! He lent one spare plug to someone, and word
spread around that they could plug in at Tommy's place! (Please don't
do
that!) WHen the next person came along Tommy exclamed: "I'm Mr. Plug
in!!!"
On a serious note - most of Europe use the same kind of plug but
Switzerland is one of the few exceptions..... so looking for a 'normal'
outlet is quite a task here!
So what is plugged in? Camera batteries - often used by the coaches to
record their players and opponents. But also players' MP3's....... a
very valuable tool for most players these days!
3)
They are occupying the best seat of the house - they are in total
control - they have the power to rule and overrule.............. They
are the UMPIRES!
If you are interested in getting the best seat of the house - contact
the Umpires Association in your country!
