    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.

    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....:D The number of players is limited to 16, so first come first play.

    you're a good player Maggie. but those guys are also pretty scary, why not ask for handicap points?

    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..:D, thanks kwun for the head up, i know those player are kinda scary, i will prepare myself when i play them.

    I'm sure Jinsong would of tried harder if you guys had 8+ handicap points to start.
