Hey, are there any tourneys in the Long Beach Ca area in April?..Sorry, don't know my Ca geography well..also, anywhere to play around there? Might be going on vacation there. Thanks

Don't know about any tournaments, but the San Gabriel Badminton Club (a 24 hours club) is ~25miles north of Long Beach. It has 10 courts and cost $7 per day.:)

Or you can go to OCBC (Orange County Badminton Club)...where they had the US Open:
