2008 Strathmore Badminton Team Event

Note that the tourney runs Saturday/Sunday this year.


With confirmation of Smash Master's team, I'll have 16 out 24 open teams.

Eurasian, assemble a team... We've only got two A level teams right now and I'd like to have a least 4.


Right now I have 8 of 16 high school spots filled, but the majority of the rural teams (Brooks, LCI, Okotoks) haven't weighed in yet.

I'll have all kinds of prizes for English during the two days again too.

which A teams are registered already? i just wanna know who i need to go through to win this time hahaha.

[sunofabeach]

just looking at the site and the prizes look interesting

any chance of getting bumped to B or C? hahaha.

[ViningWolff]

Wow, I've already got 22 out of 24 teams registered with someone looking to reserve one, if not both of the final spots.

Never had to draw fill up this fast before. I'm still a month away!!!!

Also lined up the order for 100 T-shirts that will be for sale at the tourney. I'll see about posting some photos when I get them in a few weeks.

I'll be off to pick up the English prizes too. Subway, Quiznos, KFC, Gatorade, Bottles of Wine, Big Rock and soem of those massive bars of belgium chocolate - kids were killing themselves to win that last year.

Now to dye 960 shuttles red and blue so we can see them.

[smash_master]

not using the same shuttles as last year?

not using the same shuttles as last year?

last year shuttles were quite slow, perfect for denver or boulder.

yeah i agree they were slow for sure, so im actually pretty happy then that vining is changing them up well provided he is.

[ViningWolff]

Same style shuttles, only I have to dye them myself.

We've been playing with the same ones at Village Square recently and the speed in bang on.

[smash_master]

alright then sounds good if you say there good then im sure that they are, doesnt that kinda really suck though having to dye them yourself?

[sunofabeach]

Vining, you should dye half of the feathers red and half blue on each bird!! haha. should look pretty funny trying to hit with them.

[ViningWolff]

I'm going into Michaels craft store to see if I can get some pink dye too.

[ViningWolff]

The team from Grande Prairie had to drop out, so I have one spot open if anyone wants to put a team in.

[smash_master]

how are those shuttles looking?

[ViningWolff]

Pretty good. I did some red ones and they are very easy to see. I'll be working on the blue ones next and have back ordered pink and teal dye.

[cooler]

vining, r u dying the corks or feathers?

[ViningWolff]

Just the Feathers.
