This event is for our Super Vets – players aged over 60.  They compete as a team in doubles and mixed doubles matches for their province.

To play in this event, you will need to be selected to represent Canterbury, so you need to make yourself known to the Masters Convenor .  Team selections are completed by April each year.

Highly contested amoungst our junior Canterbury players and often attracting players from elsewhere in New Zealand.  These are the games to crown our top players for the Under 15 and Under 19 age groups in Canterbury.  This is a sanctioned Badminton NZ event, and has either plate games or round robins so all players will get a minimum of 2 games in each code they enter.

Who can/should enter?

• Anyone wanting to be considered in a junior Canterbury Rep team

Players can enter one, two or all three events (singles / doubles / mixed) and while it is encouraged to have your own partner, we can accept “partner required” entries where we will do our best to place you with someone.

How does the event run?

• Play starts at 9am on Saturday morning, finishing by 7pm that night, and resumes again Sunday morning and will be finished by 2pm.  Singles, doubles and mixed through to finals stage will be played throughout the time, with the finals happening after 12pm on Sunday.  An exact schedule of events will be published after entries have closed.  Players should ensure they have completed an off-court warm up and ready to go by their start time.
• It is expected that all players are available to umpire when called upon to do so.

Full terms of entry will be available closer to the time via Tournament Planner.
