Looking for Volunteers to umpire / keep score at BAJO

[baopen]

Hi All,

We are looking for volunteers to help umpire / keep score / line judge during the Bay Area Junior Open Summer 2010 tournaments. Since most of the matches are played by youth players we would like help them keep score correctly and provide fair game. If anyone is interested to help and volunteer, please email us at bayareaopen@gmail.com and let us know what time you are available to help.

Time/Schedule
May 29-30, 2010
Volunteers are needed between 8:30am - 4:30pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Gifts for Volunteering
We expect volunteers to umpire/keep score for at least 3 matches and will give them a free Smashed Up tournament shirt. Volunteers who umpire / keep score / line judge at least 7 matches will receive a Yonex All England shirt (value $25) and a pack of grips (value $5). More than 15 matches, the volunteers will receive 1 pc of Yonex 8026EX Bag (value $55) and 1 pc of Yonex ACG-1016 Shuttlecock & Whistle Souvenir (value $10).

Thank you and look forward to hear from interested volunteers.

Sincerely,
Bay Area Open Committee

Has there been any word from Elaine Kong for those who are trying to become certified umpires?

Elaine Kong just got back from Thomas Cup / Uber Cup (Malaysia). Thus, she will not be able to come up this time since she would like to spend time with her family.

In the future, we will try to invite her to head an umpire clinic in the Bay Area once her schedule is cleared and she has free time.
