This Saturday 11/8/07 we will be playing in our first annual Titans & Southern Star Badminton Competition. Players can only enter this tournament by invitation only through the organisers of Titans Badminton Club or Southern Star Badminton Club. Standard of players is from Open grade to C grade.

The format of the competition is as follows :
Each club has entered 20 players and players will be split in Group A through to D, A being the strongest.
Each doubles pair is made up by randomly matching one player from Titans and one player from SS within each group.
There will be trophies awarded to the winning pair in each group. These
are real metal trophies, not the plastic trophies from other tournaments!

Due to this competition we will not be running our usual Saturday night social badminton this weekend.

I believe we should call it--

"The Titan Southern Star Invitational" - now that is a good name

For future years, we can then offer prize money, name and photos on badminton central and world ranking points (even if illegally) hehe!

Can't wait!!

Hi,
I am interested in joining your club. I don't know my grade, but i think i should be able to satisfy your minimum requirement of a "C" grade. Please let me know if there is a place for a new member.

I missed the GRAND TROPHY by 1 point waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

**Robbo77** · 08-18-2007, 09:58 PM

Seriously, I would like to thank Ashley and Irvan for putting on a very well organised tournament.

1. The trophies were one of the best I have seen
2. THe players in each grade were usually very even with no unfair matchups in my opinion
3. Shuttle quality was a little bit average though
4. Round robin concept gave everyone a good number of matches to play

Can't wait for next year's tournament!

**andrewghw** · 08-19-2007, 06:00 AM

Yup!! Cant agree more. Very well organise and the trophies are made of metal not the cheap plastic type.

Furthermore, I think I played one of my best games for a long time. Very motivational and good competitive spirits.

Thanks to Ashley and Irvan!!!

Very well organised tournament.
The trophy is nice and solid.
As for my partner, his name is Entang. I think.

Thanks to Ashley and Irvan for organising the tournament.
And a very big thank you to Badfever for calling me up to participate.

Bravo guys.
Cheers,
BK

Sorry for taking the trophy from you and Jonsen. Notice that the picture I posted was the trophy that could have been yours.

That was a good match, you guys were leading by a far margin near the end but luckily we did not give up.
