Club Rules
& Other Info
There are not a lot of rules in
the WBC and most of the ones we have are pretty much based on common sense
and/or common courtesy. We are also providing some additional information
regarding equipment, court conduct, etc. which should be helpful as well and on
separate pages, details on how to use our game board and how to keep score using
'Rally Point Scoring'.
Clothing and
equipment
- You must have clean shoes with
non-marking soles in order to play.
- Badminton racquets are not supplied by the club so bring your own.
- Nylon shuttles are supplied by the club but if you prefer to play with feather
shuttles you must bring your own.
- Protective eyewear is mandatory for all junior players (under the age
of 19) and you must bring your own as the club does not supply this. It
must be worn properly while on court & those who do not comply will be asked to
leave their game. In extreme cases, repeat offenders will forfeit their
membership and not be allowed back to play for the balance of the season.
Court conduct
& game play
- All club members are
responsible for setting up and taking down nets not just the members of the
executive. If you are early to arrive set some up and if you are there
till the end, help take them down & put them away.
- Only doubles may be played as long as there are people waiting to play on the
sidelines. Singles may only be played when there are free courts and no
one waiting for a game.
- Players have the option to score their game using either 'Rally Point Scoring'
or the traditional method of scoring a game to 15. Players should agree
upon which method is to be used before play begins.
- When you have completed one game you must clear the court to allow those
waiting to play. Back-to-back games may not be played when people are
waiting.
- We want to encourage all members & guests to mix and mingle during play.
To accomplish this a game board may be used especially on busy nights. The
game board rules must be followed while it is in use. (see page on board
rules for more info)
Guest policy
- Guests are those individuals
who are new to the WBC and want to 'test drive' the club or those who are
looking to play one night only. Guest fees this season are $10 per person.
- Individuals who would like to play on a limited basis but cannot commit to a
full membership should contact us for more info.
