West of Scotland Disability Sports, Disability Sport Glasgow, Glasgow Disability Badminton Club, Glasgow & North Strathclyde Badminton Group, Badminton Scotland and Scottish Disability Sport are delighted to invite entries from across Scotland to the third West Open Disability Badminton Tournament. This is a singles & doubles competition and cost per player is Badminton Scotland Members FREE and Non-Members £5.

Participants who aren’t Badminton Scotland members can sign-up for a free 1-month trial (this only applies once). If this is the case, make sure to get your free 1-month trial membership BEFORE signing up to this event.

The tournament organisers have the right to amalgamate any sections depending on number of entries.

SCHEDULE:

Registration will open at 9.30am and the singles championships will begin at 10am sharp. The schedule and draw will depend on the number of entries and will be completed one week before the event. We aim to do a round robin format to ensure everyone gets multiple games before a knockout stage or final. Once the singles are finished, we will move onto doubles. Start time for doubles cannot be confirmed at this point.

SECTIONS:

There will be four sections of the competition (for singles) which are mixed gender and minimum age is 12:

A –          Open Class for Players who use a Wheelchair (WC)

B –          Open Class for Players with an ambulant Physical Disability (PD)

C –          Open Class for Players with a Learning and/or Sensory Disability (LD)

D –         Open Class for Short Stature Players (SS)

DOUBLES:

Doubles sections will depend on the number of entries. Pairs can be made up any gender. Players will be grouped by ability, not age or gender.

If you don’t have a doubles partner, just write ‘looking for a partner’ as you sign up so we can hopefully find a partner for you on the day.

     CATERING:

     We recommend bringing your lunch.  There is a cafe on site.

RULES:

All round robin matches will be played first to 21 with no extended scoring. Semi Final and Final will be 3 sets to 21.
