Sh. Ram Prakash Chawla SJOBA Badminton Championship 2010 concluded on October 15, 2010. The Badminton Tournament, which was added to the SJOBA Calender last year as just a mixed doubles event, this time had two categories—a mixed doubles and a men's doubles category.
There were ten teams in each category, split in to two groups each. After three days of non-stop action, the top three teams from each pool then played against the top three teams from the other pool in a second round league. After summing up the cumulative scores, the top 4 teams in both categories went ahead to play the semi-finals on Day 5. This was followed by the Third place matches and the Finals in both categories.
Needless to say, it was a highly action-packed and a very entertaining event.
The final results were as follows:
Mixed Doubles:
1st: Tarini and Vivek Sood (1987)
2nd: Tanu and Ambar Shante (2006)
3rd: Ruchi and Animesh Sharma (2001)
Doubles:
1st: Vivek Sood (1987) and Atul Chopra (1977)
2nd: Animesh Sharma (2001) and Kanwar Walia (1985)

Three Special awards were given to:

Tanu for being the best lady participant.
Bhavesh (2005) for sparing his time and officiating all the matches.
