    so for those ppl who DO play at Bin Tang, are they just all partnered up to the max and dont need ppl tagging along or suspicious of strangers? :confused:

    Seems to me theres plenty of ppl who play at Bin Tang on this forum yet only one responded to my post and said I could tag along but he doesn't go very often since he lives out in SF... :(

    oh well at least I gave it a shot and tried.

    In my experience, groups with more than 4 people usually occupy the same court (usually the 5 courts at the back) over and over, and never came out. It was those who went alone or with just 1 partner that will follow the rule and come out after playing 2 games. One suggestion to Bintang is to set a 1 hour rotation rule.

    I don't really know how many people from this forum go to Bintang. I know that Feng MP-100, Han, and Trunkz go to Bintang since I see them there. I don't know any others that go. They aren't partnered up to the max, i would say that most of the people there are pretty friendly. Most actually go alone and just partner up with others. If you can't find a partner, you can always play on the singles court.

    You forgot to mention the most well-known BFers playing in Bintang - the president, CEO, CFO, CTO, .... of BF.com and the first lady. ;)

    i agree with Qidong, last time i was their(bintang) i was so mad and i hate to say but, i had to be a mean ass just to get to play. My "pins" kept being shifted, and people kept playing on the court even though they are done. Don't get me wrong it was not all negetive however what are rules and regulations when one does not go by it or are inforce.


    This has happened to me many times because, i was new to the place, and or was not good enough in there opinion. Has anybody here experience this such problem.

    It's supposed to be 5 minute warm up then they play their game. If you're next you should inform them to start their game. What courts were you playing on? The back courts, 6 - 11, or the front courts, 1 - 5? For the back courts you really need to tell them, they dont know whether someone is next or not.
