Golden Gate Open Badminton Tournament

Tomorrow I’m leaving for San Francisco, and this weekend I will be playing in the Golden Gate Open at the Golden Gate Badminton Club. The draw is not up yet, but I think they will be posting it online pretty soon, and I’ll post a link to it when they do. The tournament has prize money, and I think they are trying to model it after the highly successful Boston Open that they have every year. Top prize is $900 US for the winners of singles, and $1200 per pair in the doubles events (open events). They also have masters events Their website says that they have $8888 in cash and up to $2000 in prizes. I’ll keep you updated on the trip, what the club is like, how good the players down there are, and whatever else I can think of. I’ll be taking some pictures too so you can get an idea of what the place is like. Should be fun.
