Entry forms and Forum for players needing partner We apologize for the delay in creating softcopy of the entry form. Some corrections were needed on the waiver and agreement. Anyway, the softcopy has been attached to this thread in PDF format. The URL / link to the PDF file is http://www.bayareaopen.org/Tournaments/BAOPEN-Fall2006/baopen_tournament_package.pdf However, we do recommend that players register through the Online Registration at ( http://bayareaopen.org/amember/signup.php ) because it's more convenient and less likely for us to make mistake from reading handwriting on mailed in or faxed entry forms. It also take payment using most major Credit Card through PayPal (and you don't have to register with PayPal). Lastly, forum for player that need partner has been created. Due too many adult spams on our forum, we have restricted posting. If you would like to request to find partner, please create a ticket using our Support System at http://support.bayareaopen.org/ticket.html. We will post the request in the forum at http://www.bayareaopen.org/forum under Need Partner. BAOpen might be increasing the prize money of AMD (and maybe AMS) if the current number of players that already have registered on the A's event have confirmed and paid their registrations. This guarantee us that we will have enough funds to cover the prize money. We will let you know later. Any questions about the Yonex Bay Area Open Fall 2006 tournament can be directed to support@bayareaopen.org or by using our Support System at http://support.bayareaopen.org. Thank You, Bay Area Open Staffs

Results and Draw for Yonex BAOpen Fall 2006 has been posted We would like to thank all participants for their participation and patience. We have posted the result and draw on the website at http://www.bayareaopen.org. Overall Summary of the tournament: On Friday and Saturday, the game went on very smoothly and ended on time. On Sunday, the morning matches were delayed because many players did not come on time. However, we were able to catch up and finished the D/B Men's Doubles, D/B Women's Doubles on time. There was another delay on Sunday afternoon that affected the C Men's Doubles draw and delayed it approximately by 1 hour to 1.5 hour. This delay caused another delay in the C WD. We apologoize for this, especially for the C Women's Doubles players from the Southern California who drove at least 6.5 hours to participate in the tournament. We will fix this in the future. Again thank you. Sincerely, David Chiu Bay Area Open
