Updated guidance from Badminton England

• Players can be placed in groups of up to a maximum of 6 players; they can partner for a match with any
other player in their group.
• To facilitate a match, one group of 6 (Team A) is able to play against another group of 6 (Team B). There
can be no rotation between the groups, i.e., no player from Team A can partner a player from Team B, but
any combination of players in Team A can play any combination of players in Team B.
