Yonex Canadian Open at the Richmond Olympic Oval - Volunteers Needed

[bobmilroy]

The Yonex Canadian Open Grand Prix Tournament has been scheduled at the Richmond Oval from July 12-17th, 2010.

The event will be organized by ClearOne Badminton and will be the biggest badminton event in the history of Canada.

We are looking for volunteers for a number of duties, including linespersons, driving, team liasons, sponsor/hospitality work, ticket sales and venue set-up.

In my experience, the events with the best volunteers turn out to be the best events.

I hope the Richmond Badminton community will support the event by becoming involved.

To inquire further about volunteer opporunities contact me at bmilroy@clearonebadminton.com

Good luck to you. Probably the 2nd biggest badminton event :) 1st comes the 1985 World Championships

Seems great that the event is held there.

Will the lighting and flooring issues be addressed when the event is held? There were issues brought up from the pro's when they were there are Racket Rally 09.

Here are links to videos of matches I was able to record. Sorry I was not able to capture more matches. There were no power points to plug into, so I was relying only on my camcorder's default battery (never invested in a higher-capacity battery) :crying:.

Hope you all enjoy these. :)

^^Thanx Growler!
I've wanted to see how close Matthieu came to beating Taufik if he hadn't sprained his ankle.
