Thanks to those who shared their thoughts on the matter.
Here are last years rules -
issfhk_badminton_2008_9_rules_of_competition1.doc.
Major issues:
Starting time of 1st matches- Sportsmanship or Rules
I have been responcible for running a number of tournaments in a variety of sports and the one thing we cant afford is for games not to start & finish on time. Therefore, I would like to draw a few lines in the sand starting with starting times. At present we have lots of gray areas and we need to be quite clear of rules so no one feels offeneded.
Therefore, I would like to propose that the rules for all tournaments be the following.
Games must start at 4.00pm - for every 10 minutes of delay means offending team forfiet's the first single match, 20 minutes first doubles , 30 minutes second singles - forfiet's the match.
Player lists must be submitted 24 hours before scheduled matches.
Players who have lost matches through forfeit may not be exchanged to play in later games between school. Changes will be permitted - But an exchange of playing positions due to forfeits is not permitted.
At these tournaments schools will be expected to play 10-15 matches. Therefore, losing the first match may not be a big deal or even second match. However, the odds are certainly against you.
We need to start all games on time as we have between 6-10 schools playing at one time .
Time will be judged by Host school.
Finishing time for matches - Will be determined by host school and I suggest that hosting schools use a timer to count down time for matches - 60 minutes.
Last game : Based on number of games won, if this is even then by the points in the deciding game. One point advantage is required for last game to have a winner.
Teams will play in order as stated in 2008-2009 rules. If a match ends after the first 3 games then remaining games can be played as friendlies if time permits. Court must be available for the start of next round as they have priority.
We will remain with 5 players as minimum number required to field a team. Team sheets should be emailed to hosting school a 24hr before & changes can be made before the first match commences.

Shuttles for Tournament will be Tronex Yellow - this was used last year and we need to have consistent shuttles for all tournaments. Therefore schools hosting tournaments & championships will be supplied shuttles to run tournaments by the ISSFHK. The cost of shuttles will be shared by all competing teams and will be part of the fees for Badminton this year.
Next Issue Venues:
This an association made up of a number of schools and my apologies to those schools who I have not allocated tournaments. VSA & Discovery. Where possible I have tried to send at least two age groups to a school & if not a school close by. Whether it be the same age group or same gender plus and allocated schools tournaments where they have teams entered. Therefore, this schedule has seen a number of changes from original first draft.
Hostings schools if you have difficuly hosting tournament could you please notify me asap.
Championship Play off's
Grades with 8 or more teams will have Quarters, Semi's & Finals
Grades with less will have Semi's & Finals
Schools need to check the following:
1. All teams have been entered correctly in each grades
2. Check Tournament schedule for each grade to see if things are correct.
3. Inform convener & hosting school if you are unable to attend tournaments & make arrangements with other schools to make up these matches up at a later date. It is the responcibility of the school not able to play to arrange schedule for make up matches. Final date for all matches not played at tournament will Thursday April 15th.
I hope this website is an assistance and please add it as a favourite when checking information concerning Badminton.
If I have missed anything please let me know. I also trust that if you find a problem you can also supply a solution. My task as convener is to help and assist members of our association to run a well organised sports competition for Badminton.
Yours in Badminton
Lester Whenuaroa
ISSFHK Badminton Convener.
