UBC plans to hold its second tournament in the fall semester (October and November) of 2005 in Cooke Hall 325. This tournament would take a different format than the spring tournament. We plan to have players organize their own teams, and the teams will compete against each other. Each team should be able to play all the five types of games, men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. The competition will take the Sudirman Cup format. Suggestions and comments on the tournament are welcome.
