    I know a couple names from BF are playing this weekend.

    If I don't play like a chump I could have the fortune of being smoked in the semi by the number one seed.

    Guys on my side to the semi are definately beatable.

    Draw is so big they have to split it between the Glencoe and CWC... :eek:


    But not a lot of the big guns out this time. I'd put my money on Brody to take it.

    LOVE the CWC. Great facilities. Wandering through it for the first time, my jaw dropped at the immensity. Especially the caf, the skating area... the whole thing!

    Puts my WWC to shame, heh.

    there is another private club call Glencoe that is equally as nice. For me tho, CWC is bigger and newer. Actually it cost more to join the glencoe, now it has no acceptance of application. CWC cost 20k to join.

    If you think the CWC is nice now, they have another 5+ million $$ worth of upgrades that will probably start within the next couple of years. At that time they'll probably add a multi-purpose gym that will add three or four additional badminton courts when needed for large tournaments.:p

    Never made it to CWC. It was hurting last night and this morning I could barely get out of bed.

    My leg is still kinda numb. I'm hoping rest and chiro care will help.

    I hope it's not herniated disc. There is a cell-based treatment available from Germany though.

    hey vining, well bad news looks liek avish beat brody, Personally i made it to finals in D singles but lost...damn. Anyways it sucks to hear that you couldnt make it out, you creamed me last time, was hoping for maby a chance to redeam myself. Not alot of big names but some good matches none the less, prizes for singels sucked though, in any of the draws 1st was a heartrate monitor/watch and 2nd was a watterbotthe with a henn hanson (i think thats what its called...to lazy to go check) polo like shirt in it...yeah i got the shirt in the water bottle. Doubles was bags and mixed was shoes and bags. Oh well next time. Vinning you playing in AB series at MRC?

    I would have liked to see Brody play Avish. Last time Brody won, but it was close.

    If anything it is nice to see a new crop of strong juniors coming up.

    My greater concern right now is that my leg is still numb. We'll see how the C2 tourney goes before I decided about MRC.

    I may opt out of MRC to play the Glencoe masters and then take it easy until my tourney in April.
