Posted on Apr 27 2006
Badminton will return to its regular Saturday schedule tomorrow, April 29, at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium in Oleai after being moved to Sunday a week ago.
Division of Sports and Recreation staff Elias Rangamar said badminton returns to its Saturday schedule beginning at 4pm tomorrow following the Basketball Association of the Northern Mariana Islands’ decision to play the 4th Annual Budweiser Cup BANMI Men’s Basketball League and the BANMI Women’s Basketball League this Sunday, April 30.
Badminton and BANMI will follow the same schedule next week, May 6 and 7, with the latter taking the Saturday schedule and the former occupying the Sunday schedule at the Oleai Sports Complex venue.
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 should be a 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)
