==================================================
Happy new year!
BV is back once again better than ever. This time, we teamed up with the Vancouver Racquets Club to host the BVRC Open on February 24-26th. Simply the best place to play badminton, in my opinion, this will give many players a glimpse into the private club and what it is like to play on wooden floors designed for the badminton player.
A couple of must read things that you need to know:
- Due to reduced number of courts and anticipated demand, we are creating a limit for each draw. Each draw will be limited to 16 teams initially before it is modify to maximize utilization. Entry will be on a first come first serve, once the limit is filled, we will have to create a waiting list. As such, ALL entries must be entered through our tournamentsoftware page which will track the order of entry.
- While entries must be done online, the payment can be drop-off with the organizers or at VRC to avoid the online surcharges. Please remember to include your information (i.e. name, contact, events played) with the money so we can track who it belongs to. All payment must be received before the draws are posted - Tuesday February 21, 2012. Otherwise, we will promote those on the wait list to your spot. All cheques need to be made out to Badmintology Vancouver and not VRC.
- The year-end invitational only team championship is around the corner (May), and this will be your last chance to form a team and earn ranking points if you have not done so. Forming a team is as easy as signing up under the same team name on your online entry. Remember, all players must play two tournaments in a season under the same team name to qualify for the team championship. Therefore, form a team, there is nothing to lose, and a lot to miss out!
- All VRC active members are entitled to a $7 discount for the tournament. This amount will be refunded from your full payment at the tournament after we verify that the club that the membership is valid. To clarify, in the event of a VRC member being replace by a non-member on the date of the tourney, the replacement will still have to pay full price.
- All shuttles will be supplied by Victor to conform with the rules of VRC
- VRC has a kitchen with reasonable priced food for your during the day. For the adults, there is a bar open for you to relax and watch the games on court.
