BadmintonTournament

On January 30th and the 31st, there was a badminton tournament for high schoolers at GGBC (Golden Gate Badminton Club). The main point of the tournament was to earn sponsorship from GGBC to whoever plays in the tournament. It was pretty interesting since it was my very first tournament since I started playing and also my first mixed doubles match with a new face to badminton. The only time that my partner played badminton was during first semester of PE (physical education). It was a new experience for both of us.
On Saturday the 30th, the events were Women's Doubles and Men's Doubles. I didn't enter this portion of the tournament because I couldn't find a female partner. And so I joined the Sunday event for mixed doubles. My friend's from both Alameda High and Encinal joined the first events. I couldn't go to cheer them on because number one I was lazy and number two I was somewhat sick again. Even though my friend's from Alameda High didn't win anything, my friend's from Encinal won second place in Men's doubles. I congratulated my friend's from Encinal and said "Good Luck next time" to my friend's in Alameda High.
On Sunday the 31th, it was my turn to compete. When I got there, my friend's were already warming up, but since it was the morning I was lazy and didn't join them. At 9:30 AM, the official tournament for second events started. I was in the first portion with my partner. It started out well, until our opponents started aiming at my partner, and since he was a beginner he couldn't help but miss most of the shots. I didn't blame him since it was his first competition and I only joined for the sponsorship. Even though we lost many rounds and won one, we both had fun and continued to carry out a smile throughout the entire competition.
I plan on joining and entering many tournaments in the future. I wonder how much I can improve until the next tournament I'm planning on entering. Hmm?
