  • Clubs can enter as many teams as they want, with teams consisting of 4 men and between 2 and 4 women, all players must be age 14+.

Carolyn Young, President of Badminton Scotland said:

“It was really pleasing to see a successful Scottish Cup competition last season, congratulations again to County BC. Lots of great feedback from those who participated in terms of competition and atmosphere as clubs progressed. I look forward to what should be another great event.”

The initial stages of the competition will be played in group areas with the winning clubs from the groups going through to an exciting national knock out stage. This will be followed by finals with location and venues to be confirmed.

After regional rounds, a quarter final tie and finals day we have a worthy winner in County Badminton Club, congratulations.
