Badminton - Provisional results

Hi everyone,

Well we have got to the final weeks of Tournament play Yesterday, it's been a short but very intense period of badminton these last few weeks and it has been a pleasure to see so many talented young badminton players at the various age groups.
My thanks to those schools who have hosted over the last few weeks and to those who will be hosting the Championships

Below I have posted the following documents - just click on them to open

Provisional Results of ISSFHK Badminton schedule 2009-10.xls

issfhk_badminton_2008_9_rules_of_competition1.doc.

Refer - making play offs

1. The results I have provided are provisional in some divisions as some games have still yet to be played as teams were unable to attend tournaments. I will update the ISSFHK website & this will contain the official results.

NB. All rescheduled matches must be played by Thursday 15th April

2. Provisional Results - Coaches & AD's please check that I have got the correct information. If I have made an error please let me know.

A few points to Note.

a. U14 Girls - Teams who were to have played HKIS on March 2 have been awarded Walk over wins against HKIS. This is due to HKIS not informing the league within 24hrs that they were not available.
b. U14 Girls - Teams who were or did play TSIS on 16 march have been tentatively awarded walk over wins as TSIS commenced games with only 4 players and the minimum number is 5.
c. U14 Girls - HKIS will reschedule matches with teams they have not played.
d. U14 Boys - HKIS & ICS to reschedule match
e. U16 Boys - HKIS to reschedule matches with AIS, RCHK & VSA
F. U20 boys - A number of recsheduled matches due to HKIS & AISHK unable to make tournaments
H. U20 girls HKIS to reschedule matches with teams.

HKIS absent from Tournaments Week 1 & Week 2

A number of association members have asked a number of questions conerning HKIS non attendance week 1 & week 2 of competition.

1. Week 2 of competition is HKIS had experience week & as result they wouldnt be available for any tournaments during the week. Matches missed would be rescheduled

2. Week 1 absence - was an error in communication between various administrative personel and as a result - HKIS was not able to host & to attend tournaments. Because we were given less than 24 hour notice for U14 Girls matches. Matches were awarded as walk over matches to opposition teams and HKIS will be fined for missing 3 matches. We were given prior warning that U16/ 20 teams would also be absent by a HKIS secreatary who was acting on behalf of the HKIS - these matches would be counted as rescheduled matches & not incur any fines.

Lastly please take the time to check provisional results & email me if you feel something needs correcting

Badminton Week 1 March 1-7

Hi Everyone,

Week One went relatively smoothly with only a few hiccups to the schedule. Hopefully, this week we can iron out one those problems this week.

Updated Schedule for U14 Girls.
My apologies for not ensuring all schools that we had a change in schedule due to YCIS withdrawal. Please use the schdule that is NOW POSTED.

U14 Girls Schedule 4.xls

Tuesday March 9th - Change in Venue U12 Girls.

Games will now be hosted at ICS not RCHK. Therefore, this week U12 & U14 Girls will be playing at ICS. U12 Girls will be in Lower Gym & U14 Girls will be in Upper Gym.
U12 & U14 Boys will be at CDNIS

This was proposed so that schools didnt have to spread themselves over 3 venues, my thanks to Adriaan & Tim who allowed the change to take place.

Wednesday U16 Girls at RCHK & U20 Girls at ICS

Thursday U16 Boys at ICS & U20 Boys at YCIS


HOUSE KEEPING

1. Arriving before 4.00pm teams need to ensure that they arrive early to venues - Games start at 4.00pm. Coaches need to ensure that first games get moving as quickly as possible. If possible teams should share half the court they are assigned to for matches, this will allow single players to warm up.

2. Team score sheets -

Schools to Send only 4.00pm game to hosting school

ICS - Lester whenuaroa - whenuaroal@ics.edu.hk
CDNIS - Michael Balo - MichaelBalo@cdnis.edu.hk
YCIS - Allan Fraser - allanf@hk.ycef.com
RCHK - Adriaan Van Wijk- avanwijk@renaissance.edu.hk

Teams who win matches should pass their score sheet to hosting score so that results can be collated and sent to Lester Whenuaroa.

Schools only need to send in results if they are playing rescheduled matches. Results from mini tournaments will be collated by hosting school.

Results from last week -

U12 Girls & U14 Girls could Schools please send me their results - My apologies & I will update last week results

Evening Everyone,

One change to be aware of

Reminder to all Schools

1. Please email your Badminton Eligibity lists to myself & Leah before you play your first matches - I will post a Chart of schools who have achieved this task later this week.

2. Please remember to send your team lists to hosting schools at least 24 hours before commencement of tournament.

3. Home team is team listed first - Second team is away team
