How We Play
Equipment
-
The club provides nets and nylon birds.
-
Racquet and non-marking court shoes are required.
-
Eye protection is strongly recommended.
Ladder system/Player selection
Adherence to our system is not optional. As a social club, it's important for us to ensure that play nights are fun, fair, and enjoyable for everyone. We will consider suspending those that do not comply.
-
When you are ready to play, take your nametag from the bottom of the board and add it to the right-hand side of the active player line.
-
When your tag is the closest to the left side (that is, it's now the first tag on the line), it's your turn to pick a game.
-
There is a red line about eight places in from the left side - when it's your turn to pick, keep your selections from this group rather than pulling your friends' tags from further to the right.
-
Unless you are actively training with a particular partner for an upcoming tournament (like the Funfest), do not clip one tag to another.
-
Please - do not pick only select players, friends or otherwise. Everyone is entitled to a fair amount of play.
Showers at the gym
-
Our permit DOES NOT include use of the school showers. Please do not plan on getting a shower at the school, as we could lose our permit for the season. Please don't ruin it for everyone: wait till you get home to get a shower.
-
To ensure a pleasant experience for everyone, we remind all players to observe good hygiene before play. A quick shower and fresh attire help maintain a comfortable environment for all.
​
Cancellations
Check our calendar for planned and ad-hoc cancellations. We recommend you subscribe to it for automatic updates. Please also note :
-
When the school is closed - there will be NO badminton that night.
-
If the school buses are cancelled or there is an inclement weather day, there will be NO badminton.
Please note - the Executive are unpaid volunteers who also generally work full time - we will try and update our site and social media that badminton is cancelled but this is not always possible.
