The only aspect other than the straight game wins recorded at the complex, was the `scratching' of the junior girls event which was owing to just four entries!. On the stastitical front, six ties wrere decided without the shuttle being tossed and as many were stretched to three games with the sub-junior boys heading the list with three. Sujay Tikekar of Mumbai Suburb lost the first game 10-15 steadied his nerves and won the next two 15-9 and 15-13 to advance in the sub-junior section. Likewise in the same section Varun Govande (Thane) won his first game 15-11, lost the next 12-15 and won the tie with a one-sided 15-8 win.
