oh, yea it takes me a couple of days to heal after a good workout, especially since not exercising in a long time lol.

edit: nooooooooo there closed, I think i missed teh deadline for the tournament....ohwell 1.5 weeks is not enough to do well anyways....i'll try again in november, BTW what do the category A,B,C waterfall mean? and what does 30+ 40+ 50+ 80+ mean? does it mean you have to be older than those ages? are there really men/women that are 120 years old still competing in badminton tournaments??? im geussing there arn't many tournaments for my age category through out the year huh? anyways peace! gotta go to work now...
haha dang man, if you call badminton alberta, you get your number. Usually if the reg is closed they may be able to put you in if you tell them that you needed a number. They usually extend the deadline if they want to get in more people so chances are you'll still be able to register.
Anarchy is right about the ranking and yeah I'd suggest C for you as well cause you're just starting off. Even at C, the level is still pretty good competition. Not the best, but no where near bad haha.
And if you have a free pass or two bring me! haha it's worth my gas to go all the way down if I can get in free =D
C is definitely where I will start, to gain confidence too when I eventually start winning some games LoL.

Playing in the main gym at Talisman doesn't help. Last night reminded me why I haven't played there in years. You need to stick to the new gym, where you can see the damn bird.Originally posted by max_boost

Shit, there's only 49 users here, I doubt we'll even break 100
the way the waterfall works is a little confusing but it works out better.
everyone starts in A for their events.
winners continue on in A
first round losers drop down to C
if you win your first round then lose your second match, you drop down to B.
if you lose your first two matches, you drop down to D.
if you lose your third match in any category, you're out.
everyone is guaranteed at least 3 matches per event.
the 30+, 40+, 50+ is for masters tournaments. basically, you get to play against people in your age category instead of an open category. i'm currently #11 in the 30+ category.
these tournys are pretty fun. friday night they usually have snacks and beer and then there is a banquet on saturday night all included in your entry fee.

How much are the feather birdies? Can you just buy them at Sport Chek?
I've never played with them before. Are they like the regular ones where there is green and blue for speed?
They sound cool when you hit them though haha

Skill level of the Beyonders is pretty damn good. Everyone that's came out is better than me or I just suck..... lol

Me and my friends break about 4-5 plastic ones every time we go.Originally posted by SOAB

its mainly the cork at the bottom that gets smashed to shit.
that doesn't happen too much with the feather shuttles. usually the feathers would die before the cork even comes close to being broken.

feather shuttles can get pretty expensive if you but them from retail stores. try to find someone that buys them in bulk and they'd probably sell you a couple tubes.Originally posted by max_boost

1 tube of shuttles at the store would probably cost you about $30-$40
i get them for around $20 each tube. 12 shuttles per tube.
4-5!?!?!Originally posted by sxtothe240
