    Suppose Badminton Central were to host a BC Open for all its forumers (minus the international pros if we have them in BC). How likely are we going to have a good turnout and participation?

    And who's like to win MS, MD, WS etc etc ? LOLLL

    impossible there is over 54000 members and even if only 27000 turned up thats still a lot
    What you would have to do is have a tournament in each country then the top 2 progresses to the continental final and then the top 4 progress to the world final to find the overall winner
    But to be honest its too much work even though i am sure we could do it but its probaly too expensive

    Back in 2007, kwun did ask us if it is possible for BadmintonCentral to sponsor a tournament.

    Make sure you can only participate if you've held a BC account over ~ period of time and posted ~ times.

    Start an account just before the tournament starts

    .
    April 2009 is long enough.

    Some might, in order to participate, start an account just before the tournament starts. :p:p:p

    yep that's a good point chris. There would have to be some sort of rule on when the account was created because like chris said, someone could create an account a month before the tournament just to enter which would be unfair

    Heck, if Dinkalot can start a whole new brand, one would think BC could design a T-shirt! :p

    There is a shirt. :p

    I got mine directly from Kwun (in 2003 or 2004) and I have retired it after many years of wearing it.

    Mind to post a photo of it?

    Can we resurrect the idea of having a BC Open? It doesn't matter even if it's held at USA. I'd still be very interested to watch our BCers on the court and don't mind a USD10 contribution. Kwun?
