Bonjour Everyone!
First of all, I would like to thank you all for participating in this Badminton tournament for a Cause.
And I am indeed overwhelmed and grateful to all our generous sponsors for their financial support to make this event come to a reality.
Kindly bear in mind the below rules and guidelines during the tournament:
RULES:
Game type: Double Elimination
Double Elimination means one loss and the team moves to the loser bracket- another loss and they are out of the tournament.
Scoring System
- A serve must be hit underarm and below the server’s waist. No overarm serves are allowed.
- A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
- Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.
- The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
- At 20 all, the side which gains a 2-point lead first wins that game.
- At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game.
- The side winning a game serves first in the next game.
- Line (White) must be always considered regardless of the shape of the court.
Interval and Change of Ends
- A 5-10 minutes’ interval between each game is allowed.
- On the third game, players change ends when the leading score reaches 11 points.
- If a player touches the net with any part of their body or racket, then it is deemed a fault and their opponent receives the point.
- Feather shuttlecocks to be used only
- Please be reminded that only an allowable 30 minutes’ maximum waiting time- The pairs must be in the designated court. In case the pair hasn’t arrived yet, they lose on that round only.

* NO pay, NO play
We also welcome everyone who wanted to help us for the manpower support as scorer OR lineman.
It will be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I would like to ask everybody to show great sportsmanship and camaraderie.
And most of all to play fair with honesty and integrity.
