hum im actuallyt considering this all i have to do is find a way to get there and well a place to stay, oh well ill see.
to play in a badminton BC sanctioned tournament(where you can qualify for rankings and such), you need to be at least an associate member. i'm not sure what the full membership is because i never actually got around to purchasing it . all i know is that u get a nifty little nametag ><. long story short, u needa be an associate member to play tournaments that r run by badmintonBC
This annual membership fee starts every September and ends in August. This fee will provide insurance coverage for you during any BBC sanctioned tournament. Associate membership [$10] allows you to play all the Junior B tournaments and one A tournament during the membership year (This is according to 2005-2006 season). Any changes in the 2006-2007 season? I'm not sure. Full membership [$30] allows you as junior - to play in any BBC tournaments; Junior Elite and National Tournaments. As adult, it will allows you to play in BBC open tournaments, Senior Elite, Provincial and Canadian Master tournament. Memberships also "helps" the association to apply for government fundings to promote the sport. More funding will be given if the sports assoication has increased its memberships. With more government funding, the association will provide more programs like summer camps, traing camps etc. Funding is also needed to train TeamBC players to represent the province to compete in inter Provincial tournaments and Canada Winter Games.
i was just told that if u play on ur skool team, ur automatically registered as an associate member but i'm not sure about this. could someone confirm it for me?
This was proposed during last years' HS Provincial in Cranbrook. You can email to info@badminton.com to confirm.
I remember from the surrey's, that applies only if the student is representing the school, and that the school is participating in the event. If the school is not involved (ie. not a schedule event with the school athletic department), the student cannot represent the school. however, if there was a school badminton club (ie - not the school team, but maybe an evening badminton club that uses the school and name) that has been paying dues to badminton bc and is recognized by badminton bc, the student may be covered under the club name.
We added another sponsor - see revised Entry Form We welcome THE FALLS as one of the major sponsor to the tournament. We have also added some more infomation onto the revised entry form. A general note to all Ranked Junior A players or any Junior players:- There are no restrictions for you all to play in Open Catagories
what does Junior B mean. i know junior means under 19 but what about the B does it mean intermediate and advance???
um... a "B" level tournament could possibly have all kinds of players ranging from low level advance all the way to super elite(open category). the u19 category could be filled up with high perfs
so let me get this straight if i went t cranbrooks i am a full memb and if i am amember at vrc i am a full memb too? ^^ yay i ahve double membs XD LET My RANK GO UP TWICE AS FAST lol jk actually i just wanted to confirm cause i have no idea
um....i think those would both give u associate memberships because only an associate membership was required for a provincial B tourny; i think the level of play of high school provincials would be the same if not a decimal point smaller then the provincial B. so i guess for that season u had a double associate membership XD. but new associate memberships have to be purchased for this tournament. i'm not entirely sure how long the full membership lasts. btw.."A" tournament is usually referring to those high level provincial and national level players. "B" would be anyone thats not there XD
lol so technically saying void the school one and i still have my vrc one and i dont have to pay? rofl i dont like paying 30 dollars though it isnt mine lol ^^ emmm ill just ask one of the coaches at vrc lol if u dont know XD
