We plan to compete Thomas Cup style - that being 3 Singles events and 2 Doubles events. If there is more interest amongst the players, we can expand to 7 or more matches. Come see internationally recognized players such as Chandra (GGBC) and Holvy De Pauw (Smash City), along with local favorites Arnold Setiadi (Smash City) and Daniel Gouw (GGBC). Other names will be announced as they confirm their participation!! Participants include the coaches, Elite students, and members of each club!! AND, admission is FREE!!

If this series becomes popular, we plan to open up the interclub competition to other clubs including both Northern and Southern California, and maybe begin a junior and/or senior series as well.

i will be there. i am trying to get the final lineup of the two teams and post them here as soon as they have them released.

[Qidong]

If someone can video tape the matches and put in youtube or the 2 clubs' websites, that will be wonderful.

[kwun]

maybe someone from GGBC/SC will do it. Wayne has a killer videocam.

i will be busy taking photos instead. hopefully the arrangement of the courts and spectators will be spacious so there are enough space for photographers to move around... *hint* *hint*... ;)

[ctjcad]

..when the official tournament photographer walks in... to clear the path..;)

[GGsally]

Ohh good idea! I'll go to Smash City Thread and tell Wayne right away. :D

Sally

[drifit]

is Sally taking part?
:)

[GGsally]

NOOOOO!!!!:crying: I can't take part goodness! I'm like an "E" level player except they don't even have that level! I'd LOVE to watch though!:rolleyes: It's so much fun when you KNOW all the players and even the spectators and it's inter-club and all that. For some reason it's much more intimate that way, you can chat with everyone, and really cheer like crazy, etc.... In HKG we have inter-club tourneys all the time. We have a GGBC team in HKG (Mike doesn't know ha ha) and we play between our clubs like Kowloon Tong against CCC, CRC against CCC, South China against CRC.. like that. It's tons of fun. Then everyone goes out for celebration CHOW after and we have lovely trophies too. Loser has to pay for them. Ha haa :p. Having these friendship tourneys is fun cos you get to learn alot of skills as it pushes you to play your best and under nerve racking conditions. You get to play different people under different circumstances.

But I know they will have a great Game in Smash City. You gonna come Drifit? Ha haa.. Hop on plane! I really think all the clubs should have more of these tourneys.

Sally

[kwun]

Sally you gonna be there, right?

[GGsally]

Me no be there I'm afraid.. boo hoo..:(:(:(. Me already gone from USA. But Me HEART is there with you and anyways, I break out in a sweat when I see them play. It's too much for me to watch. Let me know the outcome but I thought Wayne is going to tape it? I asked him to in his Smash City thread:cool:. I hope he will reply!

Hey Kwun. Take good photos!!! And don't complain about the LIGHT! :p:rolleyes: AND POST THEM HERE. AND DON'T TAKE SO LONG! :p:p:p hehhee...

Sally

[drifit]

NOOOOO!!!!:crying: I can't take part goodness! I'm like an "E" level player except they don't even have that level!

You gonna come Drifit? Ha haa.. Hop on plane! I really think all the clubs should have more of these tourneys.

Sally
