Upcoming Local Senior Tournaments

Sun 01 Sep 2019 21:03 Chris Travis

Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you know about the following upcoming tournaments that are being run by either Gloucestershire County, or the Gloucestershire Performance Centre. Some of our senior members may wish to enter. If you need any help deciding if either of these tournaments is suitable for you then please do ask.

Gloucestershire Restricted

This is the big annual tournament which sees all the best players in Gloucestershire compete to be crowned 'County Champion'. It features singles, levels and mixed events. Entry is 'restricted' to players who were born, live or are in full-time education in Gloucestershire. You will find that the majority of entries to this tournament are players who compete in the top couple of divisions of the league.

Events: MS, WS, MD, WD, XD
Date(s): Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th September (mainly Saturday 28th, unless you get through to the semi-finals)
Venue: Leisure@Cheltenham, Tommy Taylor's Lane, GL50 4RN
Cost: £12 per event
Entry Deadline: Saturday 14th September

Glos Senior Tier 4 Tournament

This is a Badminton England sanctioned tournament that is part of their Senior Circuit. "Tier 4" tournaments sit below the Gold, Silver and Bronze level tournaments. They are aimed at helping players get started on the circuit.

As such, players that are graded E and above are not allowed to enter these tournaments. This means some of the stronger players in Gloucestershire, who are likely to be playing in the Restricted (see above), will not be able to enter this tournament. I'd recommend entering this tournament if you are expecting to play in the top half of the league this season. Entry is done on a first-come, first-served basis - which means the overall standard of the tournament will depend on who enters first.

Events: MS, WS, MD, WD, XD (you can only enter 2 events)
Date: Saturday 2nd November 2019
Venue: Leisure@Cheltenham, Tommy Taylor's Lane, GL50 4RN
Cost: £19 for singles events, £16 for doubles events
NB: Entry requires Badminton England Compete Membership - this is either a £12 fee for the year, or £7 per tournament
Entry Deadline: Sunday 12th October
