Rules
The general USBA rules for tournament play should be followed. They are posted on the badminton bulletin board at the northwest entrance to the gym.
Singles Ladder
Each singles match is scheduled as the result of a challenge. Any player may challenge another on the same level of the ladder or on the next level above. The weekly standings posted on Monday will determine the legitimacy of challenges made that week, whatever the standings may be when the match is actually played. If an entrant has not already accepted a challenge during a given week he must accept the challenge or forfeit the match. No player is required to accept more than one challenge per week. Any singles player except the player in position 1 will recede one position on the ladder when he fails to compete for two successive weeks. A victorious challenger will take the position of the defeated player who will drop back one position. It is the winner’s responsibility to record the results of the match and the date on the pad provided.
Doubles Tournament
A match will consist of three games played by any four registered doubles players in a round-robin fashion, each player playing one game as the partner of each of the other players. In order for the match to count it must be recorded, with the date, on the forms provided. Scoring is based on wins and weeks of participation. See Bill Love or Jack Detweiler for the scoring system.
Court Use
Two courts are available in the west side of the gym between 11 and 2 weekdays, and Saturday mornings between 9 and 12. Courts may be reserved on the calendar in the gym no more than one week in advance. Please limit sign-up to one noon hour and no more than two week-day hours per player per week. Doubles play has priority for the noon hour. Saturday matches must be scheduled in advance to avoid interference with other activities in the gym.
