For those of you in the lower mainland: Badminton BC announced an exhibition doubles match featuring Brent Olynyk and Ardy Wiranata at the VRC on Tuesday February 5, 2002, 7 - 930 pm. Free admission. This might be a good time for all forum members to meet as well. ;-)
There was nothing in the invitation of their opponents. It is also not clear if Brent and Ardy are paired together or against each other. It is also following the BC Open (Feb 1-3_. I'm wondering if Ardy is planning on playing in that tournament as well?
damn, i missed the 2 hr exhibition of danish team when they stop by in calgary jan 15. The star attraction was CM.
Here is the extent of the invitation. Read into it what you wish... Attend if you want to...

Badrad: Thanks for your "on behalf" invitation from Badminton Canada! But don't you know that you're making Badminton Canada sounds like a coward? Unless u get paid by them!
Yes, there is a conspiracy to get those players who regularly play on Tuesday nights to give up that night of play to come watch a hopefully entertaining match with a world class badminton great.
Match is cancelled Just received notice from Badminton BC that the exhibition is cancelled. No explanation, so let your imagination go wild.
