Yes, you are right. I also went to play at IMH once with CCK Sat team, last month. The light is so dark and wall is white. Quite difficult to see the shuttle flying.

Yes. I played as the 7th seed and lost. What was your seed in the match? I should blame Lai, as he forgot to take photos for a few of us.

As quite some of the Sunday players will be away from Singapore or have a long break in late Dec, I need to get a few new members to join us on Sunday. In future, will book 2 courts for Sunday game, 2-4pm in the afternoon. Too difficult to get court in the morning.

I didnt know i was seeded. anyway my partner mongoose covered my a** wow u have strict requirements i dun have a backhand shot. just wondering in your opinion is it really relevant when playing doubles?
Actually not so strict. My purpose is just to let some of these real beginners know how a real high intermediate player is. We don't want to bring in beginners and got blamed by members. Please understand my intension to maintain a good quality team. Or the game will be less enjoyable for those regular players. Some of the new guys don't know how to tell if they are high beginners or high intermediates. Some new guys can't play a powerful forehand also claimed as high intermediate. This requirement is just to filter out those guys.
I agree with you a good double player may not need to have powerful back hand. I am not a powerful player, neither have powerful back hand. Recently I have been playing 3-4 times a week to improve my skill to catch up.
Actually the terms beginner, high beginner, low intermediate, intermediate, high intermediate, advanced etc are very subjective. I rate myself as low intermediate to intermediate only.
Yes, it's really subjective. I use Iwan's guideline as an estimate. If you rate yourself as intermediate, then I'm a real low intermediate. It will be endless to improve ourselves.
Some new guys can't have an easy fore hand shot also rate themselves as high intermediate. That's why I use baseline to baseline shot with back hand as a filter gate. Of course not so strict. My experience is that good players will not stay long if got weak players, unless the weak players are pretty girls. Haha...
