    Sorry, I'll have to cut it shorter since I'm so angry I lost my original reply. I hate stupid library computers.

    1. Take the subway to Scarborough Town Centre.
    2. Take the TTC from Town Centre and go NORTH on McCowan until you hit Markville Mall.
    3. Now, take the York Region Transit (YRT) West on Hwy 7 until you reach Woodbine Avenue. You'll know it's Woodbine avenue if you pass by First Markham Place, Woodside Square, and you see a Shell gas station as well as a Petro Canada station at the intersection hehe.
    4. At Woodbine & Hwy 7, take the YRT North along Woodbine until you hit 16th Avenue. At this intersection is a plaza as well as an Esso gas station.
    5. Now since I don't know where the YRT goes from here, I suggest you walk from the plaza to St. A since it is fairly close and it's about a 7 minute walk.
    6. Walk north along Woodbine until you hit Calvert Road. It is at the intersection beside the Mosque.
    7. From this spot, you SHOULD be able to see St. Augustine because it is a huge high school smack in the middle of a field. Make sure you go BEYOND Ashton Meadows Public School as it is an elementary school.

    My directions are not 100% guaranteed. This is just information I compiled from the TTC website maps, the YRT website Maps, as well as my personal experiences with the subway and buses.

    This journey may be QUITE a long one with all the buses you have to take. Especially if you plan on going to St. A for the T&DBA tourny being there are 8:30 am lol. So I recommend you go early. If you get there early, you can always wait at Tim Hortons at the 16th and Woodbine intersection hehe.

    Anyway, I wish you good luck to whatever tournament you are going to and I hope my directions were helpful. :cool:

    Trance,

    Sorry for the mistake, but I got confused between Richmond Hill and Bayview lol.

    Were you the guy with glasses from RHHS or the guy without :p. I was the guy in the blue shirt around the sidelines with glasses lol.

    HOLY crap.

    Yes, i'll be at the tournament there on saturday with some friends. That is one long ride. About 2 damn hours... I got to find a ride. Lol. I don't want leave my house at 6 am. Let's hope someone else here knows of an easier route to get there. I would have to waste another bus ticket for YRT. =/

    On another note, I never been to st aug, is it a big gym? How's the floor, lights, courts? Thank you.

    Heh, I didn't play, I was eliminated by UHS in semi finals dang it :p I was one of the helpers for the event. I was wearing a blue shirt and I was messing around with most of the ppl from UHS lol.

    @Dave18

    Lights are UTTER CRAP. St. Augustine's lighting is so horrible I can't believe I was able to play in it in second round lol.
    The gym is one long gym with 9 courts. 8 courts if they use one for bleachers and desk etc. It is a parque floor that's pretty decent. But the entire gym is quite dark and poorly lit. You'll be straining your eyes to see the bird :p

    If you want general directions to St. A I can provide that.
    1.Take the 404 North and exit at 16th avenue. You'll know it when you see Buttonville Airport.
    2. From there, drive east along 16th avenue until you hit Woodbine which you should be at the esso station.
    3. From there, take a left (going north) and drive till you meet the next intersection just past the plaza.
    4. Take a right here to go onto Calvert road.
    5. Afterward, at the light, take a left (this is such a goddamned long light) and St. A will be on your left.

    Yup we beat the Bayview boys in doubles...we lost the FIRST game and went to consolations and then WON every game from then on so we got second..:D

    in the game for 2nd place, (the final game for me) we played Bayview (who lost in the FINALS for FIRST PLACE) fortuenately they were really tired...:p

    and the scores were 15-2 :)eek: see...i told you) and 17-14 :)o lol i dunno wat happened, they seemed to be recharged the second game...maybe it was the water they drank :rolleyes: lol) but in the end we beat them in 2 games. um i know that one of the bayview boys' name is Dominik (dunno how you spell) and he had an AT 800 OFF :eek: , and i didn't know the other guy's name but he had an AT 300...lol i had an AT 800 DE, and i wanted to trade for the OFF lolz...
