Badminton (Junior):Be it resolved that for the Junior Badminton City Championship a school may enter a maximum of 3 entries per category.

  • Rationale: We want to promote more students to compete in our badminton leagues. Allowing three teams sometimes rounds out the pools or offers more competition for the athletes. There have been times when schools have had more than three in each category which takes away opportunities from other schools. If each school were able to enter 3 entries, there would be 15 entries per category which remains manageable.
