All schools must ensure they have sufficient staff to both supervise their pupils and help to officiate one court at any time.

The member of staff should be familiar with the rules of double badminton.

The doubles competition follows a 'round-robin' format where all schools play each other.

Matches are timed, lasting approximately 8 minutes.

(This may reduced if the competition falls behind schedule).

Normal doubles rules apply, the team in the lead after the time period wins.

If the scores are level a deciding 'sudden death' point is played.

• Schools should bring squads of at 8 - 12 competitors who will play doubles (and singles if time permits).
• If you wish to bring a smaller group, please let me know - we may still be able to accommodate you.
• The competition is structured in a round-robin format so that all schools play each other and there is lots of playing time for pupils.
• Please ensure that you have sufficient staff so that you are able to have one person available to help officiate.
• (Rules are basic and guidance will be given!)

Schools that do not have sufficient numbers may make up a composite team with another school.

This should be arranged before hand if possible.

If time permits a singles competition will also take place.
