2010 MELS Atwater International

**Takamsda** · 04-22-2010, 07:29 PM

on the website it says [ http://www.atwaterinternational.com/info.asp ]

(/draw/)April 15th, then changed to mid-April.

Just to define what is mid-month.

-5 ~ +5 day of the 15th of the month? ok
I'll give a -7 ~ +7 just to be "fair". 15+7 = 22.

Today is April 22nd 8:30PM local time.

Tournament starts April 26th

It's 4 days before the tournament starts..
Where is the draw?

... .... .....

You want to surprise everyone?

lol yes i agree it would be very nice to see who im playing or where in qualification ill be but its sort of surprising that there a little late on it im sure it will be out within the next 2 days for sure. in the end its not a huge deal just convient for those who have to play qualification and everything and those who want to check on the tournament ahead of time.

Com'n

It's almost the last business day before the tournament. Almost 6pm local time.

You still don't have the draw out yet?

Well, it actually starts Wed. They will play qualifiers on Tues...if any.
Last year, they did an ok job on TS. I don't think they will have livescore. They'll prob post the scores at the end of the day

Very bad organizer! Hopeless!

**Takamsda** · 04-26-2010, 02:12 AM

It's 10 days past original scheduled draw date April 15th 2010.

The tournament starts TODAY! in 6 hours if I am not mistaken!

I guess I was mistaken. Qulification starts in 23 hours!?

**globenstein** · 04-26-2010, 10:13 AM

Anyone here is going to attend as spectator? I'm thinking of going to watch the semis on friday. Should I be there early? Do you get a crappy seat if you're not an Atwater Club member?

**Takamsda** · 04-26-2010, 11:05 AM

The draw for

05/01 to 05/06 2010 Yonex Junior & U23 National Championships
is OUT!

The draw for

04/26 to 05/01 2010 Atwater Canadian International Challenge
is still NOT OUT?

I guess I love to beat the dead horse.

**towbsss** · 04-26-2010, 07:52 PM

Well, a little information goes a long way.

The draws were not done by Atwater, or Badminton Canada. Instead, Badminton Pan America is responsible for the draws. As of last night, they have not submitted the draws, and I guess even until now apparently.

I know people are upset that draws weren't out, but once I told them that Badminton Pan Am was responsible, it was like, "Oh... no wonder..."

**towbsss** · 04-26-2010, 08:37 PM

Qualifications should begin at 11 maybe, because I have practice courts from 8-10

yup i am, its gonna be tough for sure though qualifications or maindraw. unfortunatley i have only played one BWF event in the last 12 months so i dont have enough points to make maindraw and would have liked to do more training than i did for this tournament. thanks though.
