The Ong twins have been ranked as high as number 26 in the world within the last 8 months. Iain Sydie of Calgary has already been pre-selected for the team in men's singles, after reaching the round of 16 at the Olympics in Atlanta. Those top four then proceed on to a sudden death event that will establish the 1 through 4 ranking of the athletes. Winners of the trial events are guaranteed a spot on the World Championships team. National coach Billy Gilliland along with a Badminton Canada High Performance Committee is responsible for naming the rest of the team after the winners of the trials have been determined.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
