    I am working on bioinformatics now, and I think that community-contributed annotation to biological sequences is a neat thing.

    I would like to suggest that BC/BF, with a members base that parallel the population of molecular biologists, might be able to do something similar: annotating badminton matches!

    Just so that BC/BF members know what a biological sequence annotation looks like, it consists of the sequence itself, and specially formatted comment fields giving the start and end of interesting regions in the sequence, and what these regions are supposed to be (genes, promoters, etc). Some of the commented regions are not experimentally proven to be genes, but they are included and labeled as guesses, so that others can do an experiment to confirm them, or improve on these guesses.

    I imagine that an annotated badminton match would consist of:

    1. The score history
    2. For each point (OSS/NSS) or change of serve (OSS), a breakdown of the rally into the various shots.
    3. For each rally, comments inserted at the appropriate shot to suggest what each player has done right or wrong.

    A properly annotated match, I believe, would be very helpful to BC/BF members in learning about the more subtle aspects of badminton gameplay.

    I am not sure the forum software would support such a thing, but what do other BC/BF members think?

    [Example] AE 2006 WS Finals Game 3

    ZN *0 - 0 XXF

    ZN serves high to forehand mid-baseline, takes up position with right foot square on base (preparing to cover both backhand corners).

    XXF attacking clears to forehand baseline corner, takes up position with right foot on base, racket foot forward (preparing to cover both backhand corners, but anticipating to move forward).

    ZN fast drops to backhand front corner, take up position square on base.

    XXF lift to backhand baseline corner, recovers from lunge to take up position one step left of and one step in front of base position, racket foot back (waiting to attack defensive drops, but anticipating to move backward).

    ZN straight smashes within reach of XXF (poor angle, too far from sideline).

    XXF cross-court blocks to forehand front corner just as ZN lands from her smash, takes up position at base, racket foot forward (ready to cover net shot returns).

    ZN scrambles to shuttle, lift to backhand baseline corner, recovers from lunge to just behind short service line, middle of forehand court.

    Shuttle long. End of rally.

    ZN 0 - 0* XXF

    XXF serves to forehand mid-baseline, takes up position with right foot square on base.

    ZN straight smashes within reach of XXF (but power taken off smash so that ZN can land before XXF replies).

    XXF cross-court drives smash towards backhand mid-baseline, takes up position with right foot square on base.

    ZN round-the-head slow drops to just before the T, then recovers to base, racket front forward (ready for net shot reply).

    XXF lifts to forehand baseline corner, takes up position with right foot on base, racket foot forward.

    ZN defensive clears to backhand baseline corner, takes up position with left foot square on base.

    XXF straight smashes down the line.

    ZN straight blocks to backhand front corner, takes up position with left foot on base, racket foot forward.

    XXF takes shuttle high and plays straight net shot, takes up position just behind mid short service line, racket foot forward.

    ZN lifts to backhand mid baseline, takes up unknown position (scene change, probably left foot square on base).

    XXF fast drops to forehand front corner, moves to base.

    ZN straight net reply before XXF takes on base position, takes up position on full step right of base, racket foot forward.

    XXF lifts to backhand baseline corner, takes up position one step left and one step in front of base, racket foot backward.

    ZN defensive clears to forehand mid baseline, takes up position square on base.

    XXF attacking clears to backhand baseline corner, takes up position with right foot on base, racket foot forward.

    ZN defensive straight drops to forehand front corner, moves to base.

    XXF takes shuttle high and plays straight drop before ZN takes up base position, takes up position mid short service line.

    ZN lifts to center of baseline, takes up unknown position (scene change).

    XXF attacking clears to forehand baseline corner, takes up position with right foot on base, racket foot forward.

    ZN defensive clears to backhand baseline corner, takes up position left foot square on base.

    XXF straight smashes to within the reach of ZN.

    ZN straight blocks, but shuttle went high to mid length of court.

    XXF cross-court smashes.

    Clean winner. End of rally.

    ZN 0 - 1* XXF

    XXF serves high to backhand mid baseline, takes up position square on base.

    ZN cross-court fast drops to backhand front corner, takes up base position, racket foot forward (a little slow because of jump).

    XXF defensive lifts to forehand baseline corner, takes up position right foot on base, racket foot forward.

    ZN cross-court fast drops to forehand front corner. (High risk shot, slight delay in making shot for deception, in exchange for taking up base position late)

    XXF plays straight net shot, but nets the shuttle. (Error caused by taking shuttle late).

    End of rally.
