Right in the peak of our hot summer months, MEDRA Development Corporation organized and hosted BATTLE OF THE SMARTS that brought the season to fever pitch!

On May 22, 2005 we see 90 participants trooping into Smart Shot Badminton & Sports Center in F. Agoncillo Street in cozy Malate early at 8:00 a.m., registering for 1 st Smart Shot Members & Guests Badminton Tournament. This whole day competition consisted of Men's, Ladies' and Mixed Doubles events.

All participants were supplied a shirt, sponsor Monde Nissin's gift bag and served lunch. Midday through the competition, the refreshingly impressive group of FILA dancers entertained the festive group with a dance cheers!

While most would hope for shorter/faster games, the well paired and matched teams had the audience/participants holding their breaths watching the fired up matches unfold. The evening brought winners & Runners Up in their respective categories, enduring a single, round robin system of elimination and culminating in a best of three championship matches.

Awards did not only include Trophies but great prizes from generous sponsor FILA by Euro Asia Apparel Unlimited Corportation. Major Contributors include Pan Pacific Travel Corporation, Monde Nissin Corporation, China Bank, BPI, Oriental Assurance, Philippine General Insurance and Hattatsu Phils., Taraflex, Knotsberry Farm, Meyer Industrial, Roston Marketing, Aktivade, Pennines Industrial, Hakone, Artchem, Agua Vida forms part of our healthy sponsor list.

The day did not end only with Trophies in arms but more! Exciting prizes were raffled off to all participants made possible by our generous major sponsors. And these include: Two Round Trip tickets to Hong Kong won by Wilson Chua and May de la Cruz, a DVD Player won by Edison Go, a Myton Badminton Racket, Victor Badminton Footwear, Yonex T-Shirt and more!!!
