No it should be A-grade standard minimum ... B grade is just not trophy hunting :P

Nope ... unfortunately it looks like I'll be playing in A grade this time

Thought I've been told that there might be a chance for me to get into B grade as well depending on what the comittee decides next week .... hopefully no one on the CBA committee reads this thread

Hey the fixture for the CBA graded tournament is out, and it looks like Jacob and Greg are in the same pool as me in A double ... so prepare to loose Greg :P

Funny setup, there's 3 pool but no knock out, the winner of each pool will form a new pool and they play off and the leader of the new pool wins the trophy.

Are you only playing A grade doubles and B grade mixed ? What about singles ?

BTW are we going ahead with food, badminton, food on Saturday ?

No single spot available, i was lucky to get in those events cause i put the entry in late.
Wasnt even planning on playing mix, but saw that gary was looking for someone to fill in so put my hand up.
And i think i wont be able to make it for dinner or social after the tournament on saturday cause have been ordered to attend a family mothers day dinner at my grandparents place

Who is your partner Vien? There is a new technology in China where I can play virtual badminton anywhere in world. So just give your partner (or a dead body) a headset and I can play here and control their movements from here

I'm teaming up with a guy name Niti, he's in my Monday A Reserve team down at the WSBA Altona comp. Its been 12 weeks in and we havent lost a mens double yet, so should do well in this coming tournament

.... Greg and Jacob, they were in our pool, but after seeing the C Grade Champ in their pool they quickly pull out of the event ... chickens

Virtual Badminton !!! ... now we know how China's been dominating in badminton .... bring one of those machine with you when you come back

No trophy for this years CBA tournament

Because A Double had a second round of round robin instead of the usual knock out phase once you win your pool, we ended up 3rd ... so no trophy, no medallion, not even a participating certificate ... nothing :P

**vienb** · 05-03-2009, 05:29 AM

Anthony you would be happy to know that, that trophy hunter girl you lost to in the Altona Graded mix, won the A single, but lost the A mix to Tim and Sheryl

Trophy Hunter comes home empty handed. How sad.

**Robbo77** · 05-03-2009, 08:33 AM

More than sad - its an outrage! Vien you have been sabotaged by the CBA committee hehe!

Thanks for the update, I don't think I have played CBA in about 3 years! last time was with Dina (Norway girl) and we won B mixed I think...
