Despite an impressive rally by the Doozers who managed to maintain game point for 5 points, the More Magnificents proved that they were in fact, more magnificent, and won the match. The More Magnificents, featuring CLWC Board Chair Holly Jones and CLWC friend Matt Scholtes, took home the coveted chicken trophy, although all Badminton Classic participants were presented with ribbons to commemorate their participation.
Trophies were also awarded to teams for best uniform (Pretty in Polyester taking this first prize) and for best team name (first prize going to Color Me Badd-minton). The tournament came to a close after a bittersweet goodbye to CLWC’s summer intern, Maria Fortino, who is returning to Stanford this fall. We will miss her greatly.
