Posted on May 11 2006
Division of Sports and Recreation Director Joe Lizama yesterday informed badminton regulars that the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium will be available tomorrow, May 13, and Sunday, May 14, beginning at 1pm.
Badminton regulars returned to their Saturday 4pm schedule the past two weeks after the Basketball Association of the Northern Mariana Islands shifted their weekend schedule to Sunday. But all that will end tomorrow, as BANMI is set to play its Budweiser Cup Games again every Saturday beginning at 4pm.
In related news, badminton players are being encouraged to adopt scoring in their games to quicken the pace of turnover on the courts’ use.
Matches between men are suggested to be best-of-three affair and up to 15 points, while matches between women are only up to 11. Mixed doubles are up to 15 points.
Badminton players regularly play at the gym from 7:30am to 10:30am on weekdays. DSR charges $1 per day per player for the use of the facility’s lights. Regular badminton players are also in the process of setting up their organization. (PR)
