    With all due respect he's got an injury..... How is he going to even put on a show if he's limping around the court like that. Plus he's still a competing athlete. If it gets worse he's not gonna be able to make money from tournaments after this showcase. It wouldn't make any sense for him to play with it.

    +1 cooler, don't go all in next time :p

    I did ask Cooler to come for a visit. Vancouver could be like a Camp David where I mediate the hauge-Cooler summit.:D:D

    thx all for the invitation. I learned about this event too late, maybe i was too tied up with posting in other threads:D Would love to wing some rackets with u guys, maybe play a match with some of u using 50% mavis and 50% feather shuttle and see how we compare:p Madbad, i need bodyguards more than i need a mediator/meeting facilitator:D

    ^^Hmm..^^

    ..Hau-ge told me he's going up there, not only to follow the festivities and meet the Vancouver-based BCers, but also to offer an olive branch to cooler...Of course, a MS Singles Death Match between both of them wouldn't be too bad (heck, even if a plastic shuttle is used)..And whoever wins the match should treat the winner to an all-you-can-drink treat (i'm sure Hau-ge would really be up for that)..:p;):cool:

    hehe, i do know badminton players are deceptive, it could be a trap:D I havent played hard badminton lately, gained 6lbs. Maybe we might be at similar level, maybe even a tough grueling match :)

    Off topic-Okay..

    ..if a full match is too grueling, then how about just a 1 game match..Or if need be, we can alter the scoring system and use the super-fast NSS: every winner counts for 3 pts (21 pts, only need 7 winners).
    ..typo, should be "loses the match"..
    ..i'd love to go and be a bodyguard, too..:(

    Anyway..back to topic..:p

    ..the thread's title would probably need to be edited as Peter won't be attending..
    If cooler were to come, it would then read "Racket Rally 2009 featuring Taufik Hidayat, huangkwokhau and cooler from BC and others.."..;)

    let me borrow kwun's saving phrase:
    Level of play:
    now, now, now... let's not get into this touchy subject, shall we?
    :D
