    High School Badminton is unfair when it comes down to the championships :mad: because its not our fault that our league sucks and we dont and they still get to go to League Playoffs when our whole team is OBVUOISLY better then theres and we cna only send 2 slots while our 3 and 4th slots cant and they can beat everyone else's players in our league! Totally unfair! sorry if this doesnt make sense because im very pissed right now cuz im one of those 3 or 4 slots! :mad:

    I agree. The best solution is to get better yourself to be the top 2 to be qualified. No system could be perfect to everyone, so, instead of blame the system, try to get better on your own side. ;)

    There is only one 1st place

    Remember, there is only one Champion.

    If your goal is not to go for the champion, then it doesn't really matter because you're ready to lose.

    Enjoy your game, play to win, play to be the champion.

    Young kids have all the potential in the world to achieve whatever goal they want to achieve.

    You shouldn't settle for just getting into the league final.

    Just chill, it's a battle of the fittest. I mean aren't championships suppose to determine which school is better right then and there? If you were to send you whole team there, wouldn't it defeat the purpose of having a championship in the first place?

    Just play badminton to have fun. Enjoy yourself. Don't get stressed over it too much. I would say something else, but I'd hold back for now.

    There's only 1 champ, but as long as you work hard enough, everyone is a winner, and deserve the fun and respect. :eek: ;)

    Completely agree, it's not always the person who wins the league that gets remember, but the underdog who out of hardwork and effect make something of themselves.

    well.. obviously.. but then again... would most of you be happy, if you really tried and it was an important tourney, and you lost... ? I think most would have like a 5 minutes moment of silence... :l.... and prolly wouldn't be happy.. more like pissed. but it's true.. as long as you try.. you're a winner too...

    I won't be too happy, of course. However, I would rather think about what I can improve, rather than blaming the officials, other teams, other players, or the format / draw, etc. There's nothing much you can do to others, but you can do a lot, if you know what's your own weakness, and willing to work harder and smarter. ;)

    Sure i would be sad if I lost, but I rather lose to somebody who I didn't play everyday at practice and somebody who I can set a goal towards and train towards. Winning isn't worth it if you don't struggle for it.

    Well if you lose and you don't learn from it, then it would be sad. If you lost and learn from your mistakes, you become a stronger player because of it. Losing could be a good thing instead of a bad thing at times. You learn to overcome your former barriers and become an even better player.
