Love seeing veteran sports getting this kind of recognition! My dad's participating in the Men's Doubles 45+ category. Go Dad! 💪

While I appreciate the tournament's growth, I wish there were more categories for younger veterans (35+). The 45+ age limit excludes many passionate players.

The combination doubles categories are so interesting! It's great to see mixed-age partnerships. Shows badminton truly is a sport for all ages.

Bombay Gymkhana is such a perfect venue for this. The courts there are fantastic. Anyone know if spectators need tickets or can we just walk in?
