Why having this tournament on the same weekend as the Racket Supply Tournament?:confused:

Either the tournament director is not aware or want to spice up the competition by splitting the participants.:eek:

LOSE-LOSE SITUATION!:(

I'm just posting the tournament because it hasn't been posted yet.

Do college students get the discount too?

[Joseph]

I would think so too since they are students.

Bintang already had planned on having there tournament on March 10th/11th
and had their entry forms out already before racket supply posted their tournament, but just never posted it on badmintoncentral.com yet.

[smashyou]

not too many people have been playing the bintang tournament, i dont think it would be a fun tournament.

[baddyboiii]

How do you know what you can and can't play? Such as REC singles, or REC doubles. I believe I'm a rec. player because I don't train or anything like that. Nor have I taken classes.

[bintangclub]

Rec flight is for players who play open gym and would like to start competing in tournaments. We understand that the lowest flight at most tournaments - D level - is pretty hard for any open gym player to start competing. That is why we created the rec flight for those who have not played any tournaments or have never had any formal training, but want to experience tournaments. This will expose more players to the sport and increase the level of badminton in the community.

[bintangclub]

If you have any questions about the tournament, please email EVENTS@bintangbadminton.org. Thanks!

[bintangclub]

Yes, college students receive discount too. Any participant qualifies for the student discount as long as he/she is a student at a school/college/university and has a valid (2006-2007) school ID (to be verified during check-in on day of tournament).

What's your point!? :confused:

If you don't want to play, just pass, please don't post this kind of discouraging comments.

[Lala Miso]

So Whos playing this so far! peolpe should start forming teams itll be fun!! rooting for each other and support from your fellow friends and players will make the game extremly fun!! and this tournament LOUD!!

haha

Hope alot of peolpe are playing this one

[Joseph]

Turns out that for the team event they will be giving you the choice of either Mavis 350 (10) shuttles or Chester shuttles (5).

Any bc people want to form a team? If we can get a bunch of people and each win at least one match we can win the trophy and tubes of birds.

Last time I played at the Bintang tournament. It was a lot of fun and they did a great job scheduling everything. There were close to 300 participants (from what I remember them telling me). And the best part was, they have a bunch of flat-screen monitors to display all the draws. At first it seemed a bit weird to check draws that way versus the traditional on-the-wall paper draws. But once you get used to it, it is really awesome. The results get updated almost instantly!

I am going to be playing this tournament along with my high school friends. Hopefully if we can get enough people we will do well in the team tournament. So ping me if you are playing this too. We can form one huge team! :D

[Phuong]

im really looking forward this tournament, my first very tournament. Good luck to all who take D flight:p.

[Lala Miso]

haha

i was at Bay Area Open last weekend and so many of the Bintang kids won first, second, cons in singles! :eek:

considering how good their team is, just their players alone would make their tourney pretty competitive. and they have lots of strong females too. maybe not the best compared to all those ex-national players from other countries, but still very good. no fair!!! :crying: i should sign up for rec flight!

[Phuong]

I heard most of them will play B flight so if u register C or D u should be alright:cool: :cool: . But then u will face me:p :p

[Lala Miso]

I hope lots are signed up for this tournament im hoping for some good games and lots of fun hah~

Sorry for the delay in responding. We have been very caught up with tournament preparation! Were you thinking of signing up for our tournament?

We have a good crowd this time around. There are a few players coming from So-Cal and many participants from the clubs, high schools, and colleges around here. So far, there are 25 teams signed up for the team competition and we expect a few more. It will be a fierce battle for that huge team trophy!!!

[bintangclub]

By the way, Yonex is one of our tournament's official sponsors. They will be giving us cool prizes to give out to the winners!

And there will be a huge sale on all rackets/shoes/bags this weekend for tournament participants. If you are signed up for the tournament and would like to check the prices or pre-order anything, email us at tournament@bintangbadminton.org.

We are currently working on the entry list and draws. The schedule will be posted on our website by Thursday evening.
