Smashing Juniors Results and Thanks
Smashing Juniors 2008 Results are now available.
Also available is a list of the Smashing Juniors 2008 Winners.
Thank you to everyone who competed! Best of luck to all those going on to Junior Nationals June 27 through July 2 in Marblehead, MA.
Special thanks to sponsor Yonex Corporation for providing both Aerosena 30 shuttles as well as raffle prizes!
Very special thanks to all those who helped out umpiring and line judging for matches.
And of course many thanks to Tournament Director Norman Chan of Badminton Association of Northern California (BANC).
See you at next year’s Smashing Juniors which will return to Memorial Day weekend!
Smashing Juniors Postponed
For the first time ever, six Badminton tournaments were scheduled in California on the Memorial Day weekend, four in the Bay Area alone!
Smash City hoped the tremendous increase in the popularity of Badminton would support all these simultaneous tournaments.
However, all tournaments seem to be experiencing issues given the extended entry deadlines that have been posted.
Smash City does not wish to hold, and does not want others to hold, a substandard tournament.
Therefore, though Memorial Day weekend has been the Smashing Juniors tradition for many years, Smash City and Tournament Director Norman Chan have made the difficult decision for the good of Badminton to postpone Smashing Juniors this year two weeks to June 7-8.
We hope everyone enjoys the remaining events over Memorial Day weekend, as well as supports Smashing Juniors on its new dates.
Thank you!
