Information

Fun and competitive singles badminton league for players of all abilities.

There is a Division to suit everyone, whether you're a beginner, a social player or a member of a Worcestershire league club.

New players are always welcome.  You can join now and start playing immediately.

To join or to ask a question, email richard@worcesterbadminton.uk 

Each season is nine weeks long and each Division usually has up to nine players in it. See the latest singles season as an example. You should try to play everyone in your Division.

The League is relaxed! You have plenty of time to play the other players in your Division. You play only one match against each of them.

You arrange matches yourself by contacting your opponents directly. You schedule your matches to suit you.

Matches should be played at the sports centres in Worcester: Nunnery Wood, St Johns or Perdiswell.

Each match consists of three games. A league point is earned by each player for playing the match with an additional point earned for each game won.  For example: a 3-0 result earns the winning player 4 league points and the losing player 1 league point; a 2-1 result earns the winning player 3 league points and the losing player earns 2 league points.

The latest BWF rules are used for each game (if you are used to playing to 21 then you know the latest rules).  All three games should be played, even if one player wins the first two.  You may use whatever shuttles you both agree on (any make; plastics, feathers or hybrids; medium speed only.)

After a match, the result should be sent to Richard via Signal messenger.  Please send the names of both players (enough to allow both players to be identified!) and the number of games won by each player (first 3 games played only).

When you join the League you will be added to the Superleague immediately and can begin to play matches straightaway.  You will be added to a Division either immediately (dependent upon availability) or at the start of the following season.
