    It sure was an extremely tough battle against you, Abedeng. I really thought LD was a sure win and that you would pick him to win, so I was wishing that LCW would pull out a win somehow and it came true, haha.:D When I saw you pick Yanjiao Yiang, I was excited since I didn't think she stood a chance against Wang Yihan. Then you changed it to Du/Yu :( What a wise move.
    Congratulations on your Knockdown PAW win and in reaching the top 10 and good luck to you in the rest of the PAW Knockdown.

    Also, congratulations to the podium winners as well as Sandy for organizing this great event.

    Nice stuff :D;)! I'm a bit disappointed with myself in the last couple of tournaments... Third time lucky :p. I think VOA will get better and better, after all most of us are still quite new to PAWs!

    coming to a court near you...
    Just my luck. I get the red hot markchan in the next round

    Congrats to the three who pipped me to the podium, especially eaglehelang who flew past me at the death. How ironic LD would let me down.

    Hmm there is a forum at www.badminton-nyt.dk. Sometimes it is very active, but then there are periods with no activity at all. No activity for a week now...

    Dont know the reason behind it, maybe your right about people sticking to their club commmunity. They get to talk enough about badminton there. I dont know :confused::rolleyes::)

    Congrats to markchan, well done! Go badzilla ;):D

    Also well done to the other podium finishers.

    I'm very happy with my performance, nice consistency lately. Earns me my first win in the knockdown tournament ever :) Thanks for a good fight phaarix!

    And lastly thank you Sandy for another great PAW-game!

    Thanks, hehehe. 1st time ever podium finish, surprise me also.

    You were on top earlier meh? Dunno also, just pick2, either the 10 pts (MD) or 9 pts (WS). Chose the 10 pts & thankfully KKK/TBH didnt let me down this time.
    Anyway, LCW vs LD match made many PAwers lose pts, whoever did not PAW that match got chance.:D

    Move? What move? Got move move one kah? Like corporate/political strategy :p. Didnt know also markchan was 1st. I was just aiming for top 10.

    Congratulations to the podium finishers, and to CESC THE GREAT. :) I could not defeat you, as LD played on your side...:( Good luck to you in the next round of Knock Down competition!:)

    He he, abstaining from PAWing against Malaysians does pay dividends sometimes. Actually I almost fell into that trap myself but luckily grunfeld and you placed your last PAW first ...... good thing too, otherwise I would have gone down to aZn_Popcorn in the knockdown competition.

    Of course, I've often found that higher PAW pts are available until semifinals only. Finals don't really give so much windfall.

    That's what I did in the beginning, lost so bad couldnt make a comeback in later stages. So, nowadays, change strategy a bit :p
