No badminton this week and the rules (yes… again)

Just a courtesy reminder that there is no badminton this week.  Please be reminded that it is your responsibility to check the calendar for black out dates.  The schedule can be linked to your google account and can be found here: https://miltonbadmintonclub.org/calendar/.

As requested, see below the rules for how the Board System works.  This can also be found on our Rules page here: https://miltonbadmintonclub.org/rules/.  Those following the rules are welcomed in our club!

HOW THE BOARD SYSTEM WORKS

When a name reaches the top of the “Queue”, it is that member’s turn to pick. Please DO NOT pick on behalf of someone else.

To try to give equal playing time, when picking a game, a member must select 3 additional players from the top 10 players in the queue (not from “Wait 1”, “Wait 2” or “Wait 3” or from players who have just vacated a court).

Pick balanced games and aim for having an even number of colours (e.g., 4 blue players, 4 red players, 2 red players and 2 blue players).

If a player is picked but would rather wait for a different game, that player’s name falls to the bottom of the queue and forfeits his/her “picking” turn.

If you notice someone not following these rules, you can let one of the execs know. That person will be reminded that of the rules to the board system. Otherwise, you may remind them kindly of these expectations.

FRIENDLY REMINDERS

All our members are good people!  Please show courtesy and respect on the court.  Don’t forget that we are all here to have fun!

Only ‘pick’ a game if your name is at the top of the queue. DO NOT pick for someone else.

“Wait 1” and “Wait 2” should be filled at all possible times to ensure as much play time as possible. Due to our limited facility time, please pick games quickly to avoid leaving any court(s) unattended.
