Team Thanksgiving Party 11/17!
Since everyone played so well at BAO and all the parents and siblings were so supportive, Coach has decided to treat everyone to pizza, soda, and sweets on Saturday (11/17) for the Thanksgiving party! So no need to bring food, unless you have an urge to whip up some goodies. The party will be this Saturday (11/17) from 12pm to 2pm at Bintang.
We will be holding two separate doubles tournaments during the party.
1. Recreational Tournament
This is good for the less competitive players, i.e. juniors and parents or siblings who play for fun and just want a good workout.
2. Competitive Tournament (Funky style)
This is for the competitive players, i.e. those on the tournament squad or high school team. There will be no mercy this time! Smashing *will* be allowed! However, high level players (A,B,C level) should still partner with lower level players (D level) so the teams are more fair.
You can choose to play in either of the tournaments but not both. Everyone coming to the party (even if you are not playing the tournament) needs to RSVP on the box to the right, so we know how much food to prepare. Please also mark in the RSVP box whether you will be playing the tournament. If you already have a partner for the tournament, please enter their name as well. If you want to play but don't have a partner, leave the partner field blank. We will pair up those who need partners.
We look forward to a fun Thanksgiving party!!! Bring your badminton gear and a hearty appetite! ^_^ Remember to RSVP! One RSVP per person.
