Hi! This group is exclusive for non-beginners badminton players who wants to play competitive badminton. In this regard, be considerate that when you invite a guest in this group that person you wish to add should be non-beginner. This rule is not to discriminate any beginner badminton players but to respect the choice of the existing members of this group. We prioritize playing singles and we use feather shuttles.
You need to mark "In" for all the games you are joining. In each event/game, details of location address, court numbers (mentioned as "field") and game start time are mentioned. This site also allows you to create and mark additional guest users as "In".
We have a Whatsapp group called Badminton Espoo (non-beginners) where you can find additional details like the cost for each player who registered as "In" after each game. We share cost of renting the court. I ask each person joining to bring at least 3 feather shuttles that we can pool together and share during the games.
If you marked yourself "In" but later on decided you are not joining, you can mark yourself "Out" - but cutoff time for that is 24 hours before the game. If you don't do that, you will be counted for cost sharing and be expected to pay.
Also, there's no need to update with "Paid" messages here on Whatsapp. Credit in the bank account normally shows the name clearly. So I am able to track it - and will individually contact anyone who missed payment.
We will usually play in Forever Matinkylä.
For SINGLES games, we usually schedule games on WEEKDAYS 8:30 pm or 9 pm. Courts will be booked depending on number of confirmed participants.
1-3: 1 court
4-5: 2 courts
6-7: 3 courts
8-9: 4 courts
For DOUBLES games, we usually schedule games on SUNDAY after lunch. Courts will be booked depending on number of confirmed participants.
4-7: 1 court
8-11: 2 courts
Due to Forever Matinkylä's policy of booking discounted courts of 2 hours before the start, we cannot guaranty the number of courts. Therefore, we will be reducing the number of confirmed players if needed if we manage to book lesser courts mentioned above. Example: if there are 7 ins but there 2 only available courts upon calling Forever Matinkylä, the last 2 persons who marked "In" has to step out from the game. Of course I will announce the confirmed number of courts in WhatsApp group Once courts are confirmed. Usually, there are a lot of courts available from 8:30 pm onwards.
Price will be total cost of the courts divided by number of players + 1.50€. The 1.50€ is for the recovery of the membership fee to vail of discounted price of the court. Usually, the price of the court will be 5.75€ per person (11.5€ for court /2 persons) + 1.50€. The 5.75€ will be lesser if there are more players who joined the game.
