A couple of announcements regarding kings court. This coming iteration, Saturday February 12th, we will not have Gym 3 due to an external booking. As a result, we will only be running 3 courts (9 teams) of open draw.

Also, a mistake was made previously. We now have two separate forms for open draw registration and closed draw registration.
You can register for open draw here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_f8jtUfwrBux_BstGELVpVn9TlSPBzPyIh35_B268I1S4_w/viewform?usp=sf_link
You can register for closed draw here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIFPRSUSiiTFqFyJSEP-XOY1YjzhjJkls47OnyYgt9KMTRwA/viewform?usp=sf_link
Remember that this Saturday, we will ONLY have open draw.

ALSO also, a reminder to register for Triple Threat if you haven't already! Spots are filling up fast. You can read more about the rules and format here: https://bit.ly/34dmJ73

If you have any questions, feel free to message our page, or ask in our discord.

Hey members,

We’re excited to announce the start of our recurring event this term, King’s Court! Sign up with a partner each week and compete to reach the top! If you win a game, you move up. If you lose a game, you move down. The higher your team finishes each week, the more points you receive. The members with the most points at the end of the term will win prizes. All participants who participate two or more times will have a chance to win draw prizes too.

We’re running two brackets this term – open and closed. Closed bracket is open only to members who are level 3 and below, while open bracket is open to all members. There will be winner prizes for both brackets.

Check out our logistics sheet for a complete explanation of the rules and mechanics:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jK7xKBmC9K9MMfRUpNStgJJiFhNNwwBLFSD95fWKYu8/edit?usp=sharing

King’s Court will take place on Saturdays starting February 12 in gym 3 during regular session hours. Not all Saturdays will have King’s Court - check the logistics form to see which days.

You can register for King’s Court through our Google form: https://forms.gle/vmnMevmiA7XhVntd9.

Registration will open at 11:59pm 5 days before the King’s Court session. That means registration for our first session will open at 11:59pm on Tuesday February 8. Only one registration form should be filled out per team. Don’t forget to register for regular session too!

Important notes:
- You can’t sign up with the same partner two weeks in a row
- Scores are tracked individually – not by team
- You CAN get points just by participating

Buckle in everyone, we're having our first in-session tournament, Triple Threat, on February 19th! Participants will be put on a team of 3 players, and each match against another team will feature a singles game, a doubles game, and then a triple game for the tiebreak.

Read more about the rules and format here: https://bit.ly/34dmJ73

We will be putting players onto teams so that the teams are balanced. We can accommodate up to 66 players. Registration will close on Sunday, Feb 13th, so make sure you register soon!

Register here: https://forms.gle/4jk8oBD6a6LmQQ1X7

ALSO we will be offering mass testing until Wednesday, February 9th. Mass testing is the process in which we put new members into an appropriate level, so they don't have to start at level one. If you are a new member but are not new to badminton, make sure you come either Tuesday February 8th, or Wednesday February 9th.
