GGBC is having Doubles Challenge on weekends from 7-10pm. Anyone interested in watching is welcome to stop by and check out the advance players. We had our first Double Challenge (POT) last weekend and the Saturday draw went as follows: Chandra/Daniel Gouw vs Kamal/Mona - Chandra/Daniel won in 2 games. Next was Jinsong/Angie vs Mike Yang/Paul - Jinsong/Angie won in 2 games. Final was won by Chandra/Daniel in 3 exciting games 21-15, 18-21, 21-13. The winners split the $160.00 prize money (POT). The Sunday POT went as follows: Lili/Angie vs Chandra/Arnold (Winner), next was Mike/Mona (Winner) vs Bart/Ben, final was Chandra/Arnold vs Mike/Mona and Chandra/Arnold won in a very exciting final. The winners split the $80.00 prize money (POT). Next Double will be 9-23-06, Saturday 7-10pm. All advance players are welcome to join and play. Please see Mike or Paul.
I will bring my Digicam tomorrow and take some pics and video. I just told Kwun about it last night. He might stop by saturday. I will post some pics for you on sunday. This saturday, we have Mike, Radu, Angie, Mona, Chandra, Daniel Gouw, Stanley Wu, Kamal, Jinsong, Kota, Me.......Maybe players are Lili, Arnold (they have to coach till 8pm). Maybe a POT Prize money of $200.00+
...Oh My Goodness!! What happened to the Todtsters and other juniors in the area??..they're not allowed to bet & play??..Is this exclusively for GGBC folks??..hehe
Yup, the Todts are in college, Andrew is actually in Irvine, in your neck of the woods. Andrew will probably play at UCI with Nick. Lot of the juniors are starting college. Anyone in the A-B level is welcome, we give handicap points. Donations are welcome too.... The number of players is limited to 16, so first come first play.
Hey Mike you think i be good enough to play with you guys. all you guys are so good tho. I am little scare to challenge you guys.
Just a couple things you need to consider. 1. Can you handle a power smash from Chandra, Radu, Mike or even Mona? For $200.00+, they won't hold back. 2. If you don't mind donating the $20.00 for the experience, then ask Mike. I'd recommend just coming down on Saturday and watch the games first and then decide if you want to try it on Sunday. Kwun, the POT will start around 8-10pm, Chandra, Jinsong, Lili coach till 8pm. If you come early, the players might play a couple practice games for the audience.
Maggie want 15 point (per viper)... that sound good, i want to get 15 points in advance or you guys call it donating or handicap point (per viper2005), you guys said A or B player can participate, am i fall in one of those. May be a boring game for the audience but i think i can try. Why not after i played the number one Mix dbl in U.S open. I feel some pressure from Viper(he always follow me around the badminton club haha...i know who u are.., thanks kwun for the head up, i know those player are kinda scary, i will prepare myself when i play them.
last time i was partnering with Jinsong against Kota/Mike, Jinsong took 90% of the shots and we still lost coz i sucked so bad... aye...
That must of been a fun game. I'm sure Jinsong would of tried harder if you guys had 8+ handicap points to start.
apologies as dinner went long and Janet was really tired so we headed home instead. as this is a weekly event, there is always next week.
Paul, do you know if there are any good players going this weekend? we need more practice taking photos...
