Dear PE Staff,
Attached are the details for the up and coming badminton competitions that are being
held at Hyndburn Sports Centre. Each school may enter an A team and a B team in each
event if they wish. Each team consists of 4 or 5 players which will need to be seeded 1 4. Each match will consist of 5 games (2 x singles and 3 doubles with each player playing
2 games)
1st Game: Singles (Player seeded 1)
2nd Game: Doubles (the 2 players not selected for a singles game)
3rd Game: Singles (Player seeded 2)
4th Game: Doubles (first singles player + either one of non singles player)
5th Game: Doubles (second singles player + other non singles player)
A sub may be put in at the start of a new match or in the case of injury and the number
of points we play to in each game will depend on how many schools and teams enter
each event.
Under 16 event –Wednesday 30th November
Under 14 event –Tuesday 6th December
The tournaments will run 10.00 – 4pm (Please arrive to register at 9.30am, the first
match will commence at 10.00am.) However the exact finish time will depend on how
far you get in the competition. Please note that staff will have to umpire their own
games so if one member of staff accompanies 4 teams, they are going to have a tiring
day!
The winning school from each tournament will qualify for the Lancashire County Finals
at Blackpool Sports Centre (26th Jan U14 event and 2nd Feb U16 event.)
