  • 11/21-11/22 St. Louis Open
    The members of the Missouri Badminton Club are happy to announce that
    they are once again hosting the 2009 St. Louis Open Doubles
    Tournament on November 21 & 22 at the Arnold Recreation Center.

    As with last year’s event, this is a DOUBLES ONLY tournament with
    men’s, women’s and mixed draws.  We have expanded the format for each
    event to a full ABCD draw, so everyone is guaranteed three matches.

    Due to the size of our facility, we are limiting the total number of
    doubles teams to fifty, so please enter early.  Entry fees are $25
    for the first event and $15 for a second.  Entries must be
    postmarked by Saturday, October 31st.

    Additional information and entry forms are available on our web site
