We had our annual SCrew (Socal Crew) badminton tournament on November 16th.  We moved the venue from San Gabriel Valley Badminton Club 1 (SGVBC) to Manhattan Beach Badminton Club (MBCC).  It’s a bit far for some of us, but it was worth the drive.  It’s a wonderful facility, with clean and spacious locker rooms, shower and restrooms, a large kitchen, a lounge area, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and 6 badminton courts.  We also had the drawing party at MBCC 2 weeks before the tournament to decide the teams.  It was just me, Su-Ting, Choei, Chase, Phap, Pat, and Grace, but only Grace and I drew .  We compiled a list of all participating players and marked down each person’s experience level so we could evenly distribute them among the 6 teams.  I got drawn into team #2, and it was apparent at that point that team #2 was going to be the underdog.  Later, I drew a #2 for Choei, and he broke down and threw a hissy fit.  Pat was laughing at Choei’s misery…but not for long, as he, too, got drawn into team #2.  So, we went from being the underdog to not-so-sh*tty-looking.  Not bad.  Pat decided the line-up for our team, and it proved to be very effective!  We, team# 2 (aka Thai Iced Tea with Boba) were victorious!
