High school badminton in British Columbia

[confuzzledfreak]

i was told a story in gr9 (i'm gr10 now) about why there is no vancouver skools participating in v&d. for some reason that i cant remember, vancouver area only plays for their city championship and doesnt go into v&d. it was a choice from their district athletics association and not from the skools.

as for the guy thats in charge of v&d, no idea.

but independent schools (ie VC/LFA) have to play in V&D's *they don't get automatic berth*

RHS IS IN PROVINCIALS FOR SURE
killarney dropped out
we played gladstone to get in

[panhandle]

St.Andrews (team I coach) and Claremont qualified today from Victoria. Not looking forward to the road trip!! Nice that our single A school can compete with the larger schools.

I heard about the Killnary thing, thats just absolutely rideculous. Not even the team members want to go to provincials... such an oppurtunity.

I really feel sorry for the people who does want go

And what other regions will be sending schools to provincials? as in up north and east side BC?

Just flew back from Cranbrook.
After 3 days of tournament, 16 qualified schools played 6 matches and the results are as follows
No.16 - Crawford Bay
No. 15 - Mt. Maker (Host School)
No. 14 - D.P. Todd
No. 13 - St Andrews
No. 12 - Burnaby Central
No. 11 - Moscrop
No. 10 - Richmond High
No. 9 - Kelowna
No. 8 - Alberni District
No. 7 - Claremont
No. 6 - MRSS
No. 5 - Pinetree
No. 4 - Cambie
Bronze Medalist - J.N. Burnett
Silver Medalist - Vancouver college/Little Flower Academy
Gold medalist - Eric Hamber

It was exciting matches in the final that VC/LFA lost a very close one to Hamber by a score of 6-5. The 6th win for Hamber was the boys doubles which went 3 games with the 3rd game score 15-13. That means Hamber just won the gold medal by a very close margin of 2 points. VC/LFA lost to Hamber 7-4 in last year's provincial in Victoria.

BTW - next years' host school will be JN Burnett in Richmond during the 1st week of March 2007.

There may be (or will be) new scoring rules in next school year. Details has yet to come. Service point system will replace current scoring and coaching will be allowed during matches. Please visit www.badmintioncanada.ca for details.

So, start practicing your serve now......because you may be just asked to serve during your next season's badminton tryout.......and suddenly, you are wondering why you didn't make the team.......lol

Im actually quite happy that Moscrop got 11th this year, since this is our first provincials ever, and 2 of our girls couldn't make it to Provincials this year.

So many ups and downs this year, we came so close of top 8 too... but just fell short with a 7-4 lost to Cambie in the pool where the last 2 games went 3 sets, and 6-5 for 2 other games which we could've placed alot higher.

Overall it was a GREAT tournament, Mt Baker definally deserve a huge round of applause for the great organization.

See you guys again next year =)
