2008 WSBA Junior Championships
Bellevue Badminton Club, April 26, 2008

Note of Thanks

The second Washington State Junior Championship took place last
Saturday April 26, 2008 at Bellevue Badminton Club. There are 79
players, mostly from the greater Seattle area. 6 of them are from
Spokane, 8 from Victoria/Vancouver Canada, 1 from California and many
from Sedro Woolley. Their presence at the tournament definitely
added more competitiveness to the matches. Results are posted on
www.northwestbadminton.org.

This year's T-Shirt is designed by Tina Pham. I heard nothing but
good things about the design and color of the shirt. Good job, Tina!

Once again, Yonex (through Eric Lee) supplied the shuttles and lots
of door prizes including grips, hats, towels and racket bags. We
raffled the newest Yonex ArcSaber racket and the winner was Joseph
Smith. Congratulations!

Apart from the medals, added to the players' collection this year is
a souvenir badminton trophy. Hope you like it. If you have not
collected your trophy, please contact myself at pksip@... as soon
