2010 TCAAT Badminton Tournament

**meimei2u** · 05-08-2010, 01:48 AM

Hi Guys,

TCAAT badminton Tournament is coming this year. Tournament date will be on
6/12/10 and 6/13/10 in ABC (affinity badminton club). We still keep our
traditions: dividing the events by age, not by level. We changed the age limit
slightly and added one more event called the Double Dare Challenge. This is strictly a fun event: no age limit and is a double only event.
We mixed all the doubles (Men's, Women's and mix) in one and you need to draw
your own faith by drawing your partners and positions. You will only
know who your partner and your opponent is on Saturday by your own luck and hand drawing. For more detail information you can check out our site at
http://sites.google.com/site/tcaatbt/. You also can register online.

hope to see you guys there.

There is a tiny changes on the double dare challenge. The following is the correct information on the event.

Want to test you luck? Sign up for the Double Dare badminton challenge! Maximum entry is 32 teams. All partners will be drawn at random. If there are 32 teams, the first 32 people will draw from a concealed box for their partner. The newly drawn partner will then test their luck, and will select from a concealed box their spot on the draw. If you are feeling lucky, and to see what fate has in store for you, sign up for the Double Dare Badminton Challenge!
Specific Details:
·Open for ages 15 and older.
·All Doubles events are welcome to enter. Meaning a Women’s doubles team could potentially play a Mixed doubles team, or against a Men’s doubles team.

Affinity only has 7 courts, 5 courts less than SJSU. Any restrictions on number of entries per event? Also, any restriction on number of entries per player?

**meimei2u** · 05-09-2010, 12:33 AM

There is no restriction on both questions. If people willing to play that much they need to play back to back.

last time affinity had a tournament they provided birdies, will we have to provide our own this time?

But this is not a question on a few individual players, I'd think. If enough players register, would there be issues with matches scheduling, and timely
completion of the tournament? Last time in Kason Open, matches were delayed by 4-6 hours, I believe.

Of course, I guess you can also say that people are coming to play at the own risk (in all regards).

yes you provide your own birdy this time. Affinity Open is Affinity Badminton Club's tournament. While TCAAT is a different group, but just using the gym.

oh ok. 10$ is understandable for byob

**meimei2u** · 05-10-2010, 12:09 AM

I don't think that will happen in this tournament. Last year we finished around 3pm. So this year we want to try something new and try to promote the sport.
