Badminton a no-go for today and tomorrow

Posted on May 19 2006

Because of ongoing repairs on the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium, the regular badminton schedule for today and tomorrow has been cancelled, according to the Division of Sports and Recreation.

As reported earlier the MDX Amateur Radio Club is expected to give the Oleai Sports Complex indoor venue a fresh coat of paint this weekend and because of this, the gym will not be available for use during the daytime.

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)
