The weather was hot and the badminton actions were even hotter over the
weekend at Bellevue Community College. Similar to the previous years,
there’re around 190 participants at this year’s Washington State Badminton
tournament, but some of the event has more entries. All these made it
harder to schedule all the matches, we did squeeze all the matches in
without too much delay and everyone got to enjoy the dinner on Saturday.
Despite blowing air, close court space and thin court lines, BCC worked out
great to host the tournament. There’re plenty of space in the middle for
players/spectators and we can provide food and drink.
At the dinner banquet, we recognized several people who are instrumental to
make the tournament successful last 5 years, Annie Poh for getting the
venues at ProClub and Bellevue Community College, Helen Roome for treasurer
and entering entries and Jenny and Joahnes Jie for food preparation.
This competition is one of the strongest ever, especially for the mixed
events, there’re more entries in the event and some ex national or junior
national players from Taiwan, Singapore, Israel, Poland and some top players
from Vancouver, BC.
BC Vancouver pair of Elisha Liu and Adrian Liu won the event against
Francesca Setiati and Piotr Mazur in a 3 game tight contested match.
In women’s singles, the doubles partner Francesca Setiati and Elisha Liu
played against each other, Francesca won the tough 3 game matches to reclaim
the crown she won previously.
Chi-Lin Li from Taiwan won the men’s singles event against Paz Ben-Sira and
made it tough for Paz to come back in both games.
Aki Ito and Lindy Liu took the women’s doubles crown against Elisha Liu and
Francesca Setiati.
Chi-Lin Liu and Rick Liew won in a 3 game affair against Paz Ben-Sira and
Toru Takayanagi.
Many many thanks to all the volunteers who helped out through the whole
tournament and the juniors that I don’t remember all their names at the
tournament desk on Sunday, there’re quite a few junior helped out over the
weekend, thanks, little ones.
