    It's the stringer's style :rolleyes:. The stringing crew is from CA.

    Forgot to add: the cross started from the throat.

    Actually, the two other guys went for quite a few sightseeings. It's their first time in SF. I was more into baddie and spending time in the hotel reading :).

    I guess so. Or maybe faster. Eric Go mishit and broke a string near 8 o'clock in XD final, near the end of match 1. A referre returned his newly strung racquet in the middle of match 2.

    He takes about 20-30 minutes to string a racket. Give a take a few minutes. He's my regular stringer and he strung for the 05 Worlds. He never pre-strings ( preference i guess?).

    So the ones holding the cups are the winners, and the ones hold the paper award are the first runner-ups?

    Eric Go didn't look happy at all even winning the MS. :)

    20-30 minutes to string each racket:

    1) Without pre-stringing
    2) Pulling each string

    If so, that's extremely fast.

    All thanks to electronic machine's memory setting ;). I read that with pre-stringing, 15 minutes is possible.

    here are the folks from the audience who won the "catch the shuttle" contest. also some photo of the contest itself, in which the Open Division winner hits a shuttle up in the air and the audience fight for it. the one who catches it gets a special prize. BC member Viper2005 got the Jacky Chan racket!
