SMASH N TICKLE 07 was a HUGE success!

The first GLBT badminton in the U.S.A. was held on June 2, 2007 at the Broadway Armory.
Players from around the country and Canada joined local bad players in a drop flight tournament. Participants played a lot of badminton during the course of the one day tournament and had a blast doing it.
There was a post-tournament soiree at The Spot that was well attended and was a perfect way to end a fabulous day.
There are plans for another tournament later this year, perhaps December.
