Yes but hauge doesn't play as much as cooler, so that evens the playing field... err... court a little. But if they play feathers, the court tilts hauge's way again. So maybe play one game with feathers and one with plastic. If it goes to a rubber, 1/2 and 1/2. Voila

I live in Richmond, BC and I bought three tickets to the Sunday finals for $145, tax and service charges included. I'm sitting in Section 4, Row B, which is along the sidelines in the first row directly behind the VIP Courtside seats.

I had only bought it on Sunday, so even though there are a limited number of tickets available, you can get good seats like me if you are lucky!

Attached is a link to the seating chart for those who might need it - http://media.ticketmaster.com/en-ca/tmimages/venue/maps/van/26808s.gif

Also, for those living locally like me, there's a press conference and autograph session on Thursday, April 2, 2009 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm in the Central Atrium of Aberdeen Centre (Richmond, BC).
