    there seems to be an influx of good players showing up in Bintang Campbell. Holvy and Illan was kicking everyone's butt, and then later on Minh also showed up. there are tons of watch-worthy action going on in court 2 challenge court. partner and I got 5 points from Holvy/Illan which was quite an achievement IMHO. ;)

    8:30pm->10pm : from 1 unoccupied court to one round wait time.
    10pm onwards : 1+ unoccupied courts

    slightly crowded. with the Bintang coaches practicing for Davis and SJSU open gym closed for the week, the gym was pretty crowded until 10pm. much better after that.

    8.30-10pm: avg wait time 30mins.
    10pm onwards: much more free with empty courts.

    not crowded at all. many people probably left for their Thanksgiving break. wait time is less than a round. good challenge court games as well as more recreational games.

    Monday seem to be the best day to come to Bintang Campbell if you want to have no wait time. from 8.30pm onwards, there were constantly at least one court empty. challenge court matches are competitive for the ones up for it.

    Bintang Campbell for Saturday, Nov. 27th:

    Semi-crowded. Wait time is a court rotation. A lot of players around C level for doubles. Challenge courts wait time is around 2-3 matches.

    pretty empty

    got there at around 8.30pm and there are at least 2 unoccupied courts.

    around 9pm the empty courts are occupied but there are 2+ courts playing singles. wait time is minimal.

    crowd starts to die down again around 10pm and quite a few courts are still playing singles.

    closed around midnight.
