The turn out for the gents singles is amazing, thank you.

We have now reached 14 in the gents silvers, Looking at the other events we can take 2 more in the gents singles, 1 more in the gents singles bronze and 2 in the gents copper singles. These numbers can be adjusted but we have a massive event running and that's why we have limited spaces.

We've had a few messages requesting to pay next week, so I'm going to open it for a little bit longer to accommodate this. I usually have a slightly early closing to ensure I have the hall booking correct for the event.(2 weeks notice).

Coppers gents is looking amazing, so is the bronze (still room in all levels and they are in my opinion both true to level. The silver has very low numbers. If you are a silver looking for a tournament, have a look at this one as the games are going to be very competitive.

I love the Grange team as they are very supportive and provide an amazing service.

We use the Grange facility for a number of reasons. It's really easy to get to (especially for me, as I live around the corner), it has an excellent car park, the bus station and train station have a really good service, all within walking distance of the venue. When I chose the Grange, these things were all super important to me, after the issues with other tournament locations and parking.

If you need help picking a level, please drop us a PM and I'll have a look at your rankings and let you know where the best fun and competitive games for your level would be. If you add a note to your entry, I can also sort that. I've already sorted a few entries out who went bronze, not copper.

The games format we will be using is 3x 15.
Saturday
Gents Singles from 9.30, Ladies from around 10.30.
Mixed from around 1pm (please arrive early as we might be able to pull matches forward).
Sunday
Gents level doubles from 9.30
Ladies level doubles from 10.30.

The matches will all run on time, I will not be changing the scoring as I did the last competition, as we had extra booked time. I realise you are planning your days around what I say on here so I will be sticking to that.

🏸 SCOTTISH TRIPLE ENTRY UPDATE! 🏸

https://badmintonscotland.tournamentsoftware.com/tournament/98DBAC8E-24F1-424A-BB6C-306E61B8A728

I’ve just realised I haven’t actually been publishing the entries into the tournament!

That’s what happens when you’re decorating your house and suddenly realise closing is a week away… not the three weeks you thought it was! 😂

The entries are looking really good across the levels, and I’m especially pleased with how balanced the Bronze and Copper events are looking. A massive thank you to everyone who was happy to move into a different level, it really does help us make sure everyone gets competitive, enjoyable games.

We still have plenty of space across all events, and there are a few we can increase if needed, because I know what you lot are like… there will definitely be some last-minute entries! 👀😂

If you’re new to competitions and fancy giving one a go, this is a brilliant tournament to start with. We have a great social atmosphere, competitive games without taking ourselves too seriously and, most importantly…

🌶️ the best chilli in Scotland 🌶️
(In my completely unbiased opinion! 😂)

If you’re not sure whether you should be playing Copper, Bronze or Silver, just drop us a DM and we’ll happily help you work out which level will give you the best games.
Get those entries in, closing is much closer than I apparently realised! 🤦‍♀️🏸

THE FIRST SCOTTISH TRIPLE IS FAST APPROACHING!

How pretty id out new embroidered logo.

I have just realised the closing date is only 5 days away!

Here was me thinking the entries were looking pretty good considering the tournament was still a month away… apparently not, Kerry!

Anyhoo, we’ve moved a few people around between levels where we felt it would give them better games, and so far it’s not been an issue at all.

The Copper events are looking really good for a genuine social level.

If you’re new to tournaments, play socially or at club level and have been thinking about dipping your toe into competitive badminton, Copper is a brilliant place to start.

You’ll get competitive games without feeling like you’ve accidentally entered the Olympics, meet loads of new players and get a proper taste of tournament badminton.

I absolutely love the Copper tournaments because this is exactly what we wanted them to be a fun, welcoming way for more people to get involved in competing.

Copper • Bronze • Silver
All together at the first ever Scottish Triple
If you’ve been sitting on the fence about entering… you’ve only got 5 days left! 👀

It almost time to close the entries for the first ever triple!

Looking at the entries, it's pretty balanced and we really do think it's going to be an epic tournament where everyone gets some great games.

Ladies as usual has a very low turn out and the gents copper is looking light on entries. We have been keeping an eye out on the level of the players and it does look like a great social event where everyone has the chance to win.

The Bronze is looking great, entries are filled up amazingly.

We would also love to welcome some players from down South. Looking forward to seeing more players coming. If you are looking for accommodation in Kilmarnock, a room deal with any of the hotels cost more that through bookings.com. If you are looking for somewhere to crash I will link you to a few places.

If you are not sure what level you should be playing at drop us a message and im sure we can find you a spot.

We're 28 days away from the first-ever Scottish triple!

2 weeks until entries close!

We have strong entries for gentlemen's singles and doubles, but, as usual, not many ladies have entered. If you're new to tournaments and looking to try a fun and social singles and doubles, the Copper Triple is a great way to dip your toe.

If you're interested, drop us a message and we'll help you into the correct tournament. Any questions?

Myself (Kerry) and Michael look forward to seeing you at match control.

We closed last season with an absolute doozy of a 2nd WCC Bonanza!

Because we had plenty of spare hall time, I decided to change the scoring from 3 × 15 to 3 × 21. I wanted everyone to get as much playing time as possible, especially since we had paid for the hall until 2pm.

What I completely forgot was that I had also added quarter-finals and semi-finals!

So, for the new season, I, Kerry, solemnly promise not to extend the gameplay, to stick to the advertised times and to make sure nobody’s plans after the tournament are affected by my excessive generosity with court time!

I mean look at the bronze runners up, they were at least 5 shirts changes in and puffed out, Value for money in my opinion.

Now we are getting ready for the first-ever Scottish Triple, and I am ridiculously excited. It is going to be an epic weekend, bringing Copper, Bronze and Silver players together at one event.

Please get your entries in as soon as possible, as I expect it to be extremely busy. I do not think we will be able to extend the tournament this time, as we will need to work within our booking at the Grange.

Although, judging by some of the entries and comments so far, I am beginning to wonder whether everyone is coming for the badminton… or whether it is actually all about the chilli!

Either way, we cannot wait to see you there!

Also not sure what you should enter, I can move you about in the back end with no issues if you enter the wrong event, its no issue and we want everyone who enters no matter their level to have fun

The Scottish badminton season officially kicked off with the 58th Badminton Scotland Bonanza, and we are already looking forward to another brilliant year of competition.

Good luck to everyone playing this weekend, how's everyone feeling about the new scoring system?

West Coast Competitions is hosting The First-Ever Scottish Triple!

For the first time, Copper, Bronze and Silver players will all be able to compete at the same event. We are incredibly excited and proud to be the first organisers to deliver this format in Scotland.

As we did with our first Bonanzas, we are starting cautiously and provisionally limiting entries to 16 players or pairs per event. As the competition gets closer, we will adjust the spaces available at each level depending on demand and the remaining court capacity.

Most importantly, we want everyone to have fun, enjoy competitive matches and play against opponents of a similar ability.

We understand that it is not always easy to know which level to enter, particularly if you are new to competition. Sometimes players enter a lower level because they are unsure of where they fit. If we feel you may be more suited to another level, we will contact you for a chat.

We will, of course, take individual circumstances into account, including new partnerships, players returning from injury or anyone coming back to competition after time away.

Any questions, please ask.

Also, If you are looking for a female partner in any mixed level, please send us a message rather than put in an open entry. If we can get you a partner we will, but ladies are few and far between.

We cannot wait to welcome you all to the first ever Scottish Triple, delivered by West Coast Competitions!
