Try-Outs

2009-09-10T00:49:00.000-05:00

Hello Everyone:

The UIC Badminton club will host try-outs on the following days:
1) Saturday (12th September) from 10am to Noon
2) Monday (14th September) from 7pm to 10pm
at the west campus gym. For those who are new, the west gym is located at
828 S Wolcott Ave.

In order to get selected, you will need to attend one of these try-outs.
Those who are selected will be part of UIC Badminton team. In addition,
they will be eligible to play and practice during the badminton club
practice hours and eventually represent UIC in intercollegiate tournaments
in and around mid-west. We will update you with the rules for selection
before the try-outs begin.

Please feel free to spread the word. This is the only try-out that we are
going to have this semester.

We are looking forward to meeting new badminton enthusiasts.

We will be having our first practice of the new semester in the West gym
tomorrow night from 6-8PM. If you haven't already done so, please note
that you will need to do to continue your membership in the club:

1. You will need to sign a waiver form for the club.
2. You will need to pay the $10 fee for the semester.

Also note that starting next week, the Wednesday night practice will be
moved to Monday nights from 7-10PM. I believe that the Wednesday night
open court time will be from 7-10PM.

I look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow.

Ranking System

2009-06-14T19:46:00.000-05:00

Initial ranking

There will be a ranking tournament. Your points will be determined by the amount of winning matches multiplied by 3. The initial rank for Men Double (MD), Women Double (WD) and Mixed Double (MX) will be determined by the sum of the points of each individual in the pair. The complete ranking can be accessed on the official website and the Facebook site.

General Rules:

You can only challenge a higher ranked player.
You can challenge up to 3 ranks ahead (e.g. if you are ranked 6, you can only challenge number 6, 5, 4, or 3).
Each member can have up to 3 challenges a month.
You cannot challenge the same person more than one time within two weeks.
Refusal of a challenge is considered as a loss.
The challenger must give the challenged at least one week notice and must work with the challenged to arrange a convenient time for both.
If a higher ranked player wins a challenge match, he or she will earn 1 point. If a lower ranked player wins a challenge math, he or she will earn 2 points.
The winner of each challenge match must email Chris Cho (ccho6 at uic) the result as soon as possible.
Use your common sense.

Rules for MD, WD and MX

Each player can only team up with two different players for each event.
In case of a tie, the ranking will be determined by the ranks of individual players.
