    Spending too much time on computer games is detrimental, Wilfred!!! I can tell you by experience.

    I'm hailing from Zone 7 here. But you already knew that Chia!;)

    Of course we all try to make Provincials, but trying and having the skill to do so are totally different stories!:D

    Biggy E should be Zone 5 or 6, if I'm not mistaken. In fact, Edmonton and Calgary make up the entire area in their zones.

    yonexfanatic, you play highschool badminton too?

    HeHe:D I used to be the same, I was playing Ragnarok Online not too long ago about 7 to 10 hours a day :p but that was before my computer died, my poor lv81 assassin :( . Anyway now my comp is dead (and Im gonna leave it like that so I can get some work done) not playing that anymore, and spending more time at baddy.

    If you see my friends from clan Querty say hi to them for me =D

    McNally High..i played in junior doubles last year and won. Although I was in gr 11 last year, due to my age after September, I was able to play junior. This year I'll either play intermediate or senior and hope to regain another title.;)

    Hi, for the badmintom fans in Calgary, I will go to there in April. I find that the Yonex Canada contact address is in Calgary, is there a Yonex outlet? Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    I work very close to the Yonex office here in Calgary.
    But its not a store for you to buy, its for distribution to
    the dealer.
    So you're best to check stuff out in Vancouver first
    and then do a price comparison, maybe with the single
    tax rate here, there could be a deal.

    D.

    Hey I know a lot of people who are on High School teams in Calgary. A lot of my friends went to provincials last year. What schools do you guys play for? I know a lot of people who are playing for Western. Also I am trying to find a place that is selling a Ti Swing Power since someone stole mine from my friends at the Beaverbrook Tournament. :mad:
