    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.

    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

    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?

    The draw for

    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..."
