Surpassing a feat that they themselves set during their last major tournament, the Baddicts Stars again earned plaudits for the successful hosting of the 4th Baddicts Stars Tournament last Saturday that restored players’ hopes for fair competitive badminton without the hocus pocus thrown in by those with ulterior motives.

Players from Southwestern University and CoolKidz battled it out for the top prize in the centerpiece Level E category.
SWU-Phinma’s Ryan Jay Doromal and Janrhel Clark Asombrado beat CoolKidz’ Jay-R Batulan and Vince Avanceña, 31-29 to capture the premier crown.

Earlier, Doromal and Asombrado ousted CoolKidz players Mark Joseph Puentevella and Mark Tongco to grab the first finals slot. CoolKidz struck back in the other semifinal as Batulan and Avanceña ripped SWU’s Mike Maratas and Josephus Patalinghug.

The finals match was a cardiac encounter as the contending teams took turns in taking the lead. In the end though, the Doromal-Asombrado pair proved stronger down the stretch.

The Level F finals was a battle between the rising badminton stars of the Danao Smashers team, ladies’ doubles vs. men’s doubles.

Shaynne Boloron and Daisy Preglo went up against their teammates, Charlie Ivan Aguilar and Joel Barriga Jr., whose brute strength prevailed over the ladies’ court wits. Their coach Mackoy Sierras beamed with pride with his team’s 1-2 finish.

Level G+ champions are James Carl Capin and Matt Cyril Bisnar who beat Mao Tagsip and Armand Lumapas while the Level G title went to Rey Escuadro and Nel Justin Dosdos who defeated Paul Cadeliña and Nathaniel Florentino.

The Level G- became the antithesis to the Level F finals outcome as the tandem of Danao Smashers Kim Margarette Jacalan and Alliyah Kaye Limosnero outplayed their male challengers, Royen Duran and Gerrick Dongallo of Lil Baddicts of Catmon team.
