Date: 29 Augustus 2026 · Location: Sportcentrum Mariahoeve, Kleine Loo 12, The Hague
Registration is possible until 21 Augustus 2026.
Badminton
We use the following levels for badminton:
At levels A, B and C we play with feather shuttles. Players bring their own shuttles or can buy them during the tournament.
At level A, a Category 1 player (Eredivisie) may participate if they do not partner with another Category 1 player in doubles/mixed.
Please register at least at the level you play this season. Registering lower is not allowed, higher is allowed.
BC Drop Shot organises a one-day tournament where you can play at your own level together with your doubles and/or mixed partner.
You can register only once per discipline (so not two doubles in one day, but for example one mixed doubles and one level doubles). You can register for a maximum of 2 disciplines in total.
In badminton you may not register in multiple levels.
We use the Swiss Ladder system for the tournament.
The Swiss Ladder system is a mathematical formula that uses a computer to determine the next match based on the current standings. Typically number 1 plays number 2, number 3 plays number 4, and so on. If players have already met, the next best pairing is chosen.
The advantage of this system is that players gradually meet opponents of similar strength. There are no knock-outs — everyone plays the same number of matches. After three rounds a reliable ranking already emerges.
Badminton
Matches are played using the standard scoring system (rally point to 21, at least 2 points difference, up to a maximum of 30).
In rounds 1, 2 and 3 each match consists of exactly two games (a draw is possible). Finals are played as best-of-three.
Saturday 29 August 2026 (09:00 – 21:00)
Because we use the Swiss Ladder system, the order is as follows:
If you only play mixed, you start early but finish earlier. If you only play doubles, you start later. If you play both, your day will of course be a bit longer.
You register for the Summer Tournament via the registration form on this website. The final registration date is 21 August 2026, or earlier if the tournament is full. After 21 August 2026 cancellation is no longer possible and no refund will be given. A registration is only valid once both partners have registered. If there are more entries than places, a reserve list will be used.
Badminton
The entry fee is €12.50 per person per discipline. Payment is by direct debit.
For each level we allow a maximum of 24 pairs per discipline (doubles/mixed). The total maximum number of entries for the tournament is 140 pairs.
For each badminton event in every category, a first and second prize will be awarded.
For all events, if fewer than 8 registrations are received, the tournament committee may decide not to award a second prize.
At least one player from a pair winning a prize is expected to be present at the prize ceremony.
If attendance is not possible, a request can be made to the tournament committee to receive the prize earlier. Under no circumstances will prizes be sent afterwards by post or email.
