    Thx for the clarifications! Usually, a tournament only has one winner, the person(s) who beats everyone. I was thinking towards that idea.

    Haha...no I'm not trying to win all four flights.

    Hi everyone,

    New to the forum here, but I'd like to play as well, but I don't have any partners. How can I go about registering? Anyone want to partner up? :)

    Hi Josico,

    Welcome to the forum.

    You have 3 weeks left before the deadline thus you can look for a partner at the places you are currently playing, otherwise you can request for one.

    On the day of the tournament, I will randomly draw all the single players to form doubles teams.

    The safest bet is to register yourself first, request for a partner on the registration form, and quickly look for a partner. If you find a partner before the deadline and there are still spaces available, then you can advise me of your change in status.

    Re-read the first page, PM me with your info, I will respond back with the final instructions for you to complete your registration.

    Keep an eye on this thread as I will be regularly updating the spaces available for the tournament.

    Badrad has apparently done some heavy recruiting and he may have 3 or 4 teams ready to take all four flights! :eek: ...

    - he's got Mrs.Badrad calling in sick with the 28.705 hour flu so she can play
    - Little Badrad is on a high intensity training regime

    I think Badrad wants to take the BMS Plaque to his home turf!! :crying: :crying: :crying:

    Cheers!

    Not sure about that font character (Q or G) - is there a PLAGUE named after you - BMS PLAGUE? Is thatanother name for the newly discovered"KAR-RO FRU" hitting the Joyce area? A Deadly 28.705 hr version of the AZUN FRU.

    It is a team tournament..be it a mens doubles team, mixed team or ladies doubles team. They will all play in the same draw...and speaking as a woman, I have absolutely no problem with playing against men.

    Yes SmashingBird...Mrs.15Love is absolutely correct!

    The tournament is based on doubles regardless if it was 2 men, 2 women, or a mixed doubles. Any permutations of the three groupings are possible as a match-up.

    Most female players who I give the invitation to are fully aware of the gender-neutral aspect of the tournament, and would have played frequently in a mixed versus 2 men setting.

    In fact, I have a feeling there will be 2 or 3 strong women doubles team who are going to kick some men's butt black & blue! :D

    Cheers!

    For those of us who don't want to get crushed, destroyed, and massacred. Are audiences allowed for viewing pleasure? :D

    In the past years, there were teams who brought in their own cheering section! ... I think some players even went as far as pulling people off the streets and paying them $20 to cheer for them in the finals! ROFLMAO :D

    Yes Nephrus, spectators are welcomed and is FREE to watch! During the event, if you want to join in on the food & snacks, please bring something to share, it is potluck! As I stated last year...

    "Bring something to share and you can join the potluck! But please don't bring one apple and take a whole apple pie in exchange! Take only as much as you contribute!"

    I know Wood_22_Chuck has 2lbs unpeeled sunflower seeds good-to-go!!! :D :D

    Cheers!

    You had an early initiation to the A535 club ever since last year's tournament! :D

    Usually it's for players 35 (as in the A5 "35") years and older but we gladly accept early try-outs to our exclusive club!!! :D :D :D :D

    Better call your last year's partner & start training, 4 more Sunday sessions remaining, Oct 30th session is cancelled due to a fund raiser at Collingwood.

    Cheers!
