Rules

We will play doubles according to the Swiss system, which guarantees a maximum of challenging matches for everyone:

The games are organised in such way that each team plays the same number of games. After each round, the teams will be ranked using the results of all the rounds played. In every round, the teams will face another team with a similar score.

In the match-up, the previous games are taken into account, so teams do not have to compete against the same opponent more than once. This way, everybody will play a maximum number of matches against a maximum number of different teams.

All levels will play with nylon shuttles. If a team prefers to play with feather shuttles, it is up to them to provide them. Their opponents will have to agree to playing with feather shuttles. If no agreement can be found, nylon shuttles prevail.

Levels

Doubles A
Doubles B+
Doubles B-
Doubles C+

Your level gives us an indication of your ladder position.

We are completely gender neutral. Men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles all play for one glory.
