LMR Badminton

Format:

Round Robin

Match Format:

Winners of matches will be decided on games won, and if these are equal, on game points won. If these are equal then a draw will be declared.

Points are to be awarded for the Round-Robin matches to determine the winners of each pool on the following basis:

Win: 2 points          Draw: 1 point          Loss: 0 points

Should two teams finish the competition with the same number of points, the winner of the match between these two teams will assume the higher position.  If this match was a draw or if more than two teams were equal on Round Robin points the relative positions will be determined on games won, and if teams are still equal percentage will be used.

When doing these calculations involving a three way tie, the convener should only include the results of the 3 teams tied NOT the results from the games with the fourth team. Please note when doing calculations in a two way tie ALL teams’ results are to be used!

Matches are to consist of 6 Games (4 Singles and 2 Doubles). All games to be played as one set to 21 with advantage played at 20-All.

Teams are to consist of 4-6 players, ranked in order of ability. Ranking order must be maintained throughout the day for singles games. If a replacement is required, that player must play at number 4, and the rest of the players must be adjusted up, in order as necessary.

Hit-ups will be restricted to 2 minutes only.  Play must be continuous.  An ill or injured player must be able to continue within five minutes or the game will be forfeited.

Any pairing may be used for Doubles.

Competing students in a match must be listed on the score sheet prior to the match starting.

In a semi final or final if a game ends in a draw (games and points equal) the winner shall be decided by who won in the round robin draw. If they did not play each other in the round robin the two doubles games with the same players shall play a set to 21 on adjacent courts.
