Membership to the San Diego Badminton club allows you the privilege of playing on the reserved courts during club hours which our organization has contracted with the facility. SDBC is a self-policing organization. All members are empowered and encouraged to politely enforce the rules. This means if there is a question of court use such as court time or membership status, you may approach for verification. All members must have their card (or Pay Pal verification) and photo ID If there is a problem in doing so peacefully, please find a board member for help.
- Always have your club membership card and photo ID when signing-up for courts.
- The courts may be reserved for 30 minutes at a time for either singles or doubles. The exception is that singles games are limited to one court when there is a wait.
- You may not sign up while you are on a court and you may not immediately go on to another court after playing - you must wait at least five minutes. Other members may not reserve a court and then give it to you after you come off the courts unless waiting members agree.
- We have adopted the rally scoring system for SDBC and this should be used on club courts.
- On Tuesday/Thursday eves two courts are Challenge courts. The winner can stay on for three games and then the court must be relinqished to a new set of competitors.
- Non-members may play when invited by a member for a limited time but NOT WHILE MEMBERS ARE WAITING TO PLAY wtihout thier permission.
- If non-members are using our courts, please be courteous when taking over the court and encourage them to join so that they may reserve a court.
- Please discard used birds when finished with the court. It is not up to the facility to clean up after us. Do not eat in the building and certainly do not leave food wrappers or items in the building, take them with you, please.
Failure to regard club rules and /or general misconduct may result in suspension or revocation of court privileges.
