Play Badminton Friday [Competitive Games] @Smash Center

【IMPORTANT SUMMARY】

• The purpose of competitive game session is to enjoy badminton games by focusing on trying your best to win the games.
• You don't need to be a very good player to join this session. Our level range from beginner to intermediate. We will put you to play with people with similar level. But if you are the first time to come and I don't know your level, then I will put you to play with less-experienced players to start.
• Please purchase your slot through this link https://7538e9.myshopify.com/ Please also read the instruction inside this link, so that you have an idea how it works.
• Please bring feather shuttles to join the games. We only accept specific shuttles. Please read the following. If you come without bringing feather shuttles with you, I may ask you to go home.

【SIGN-UP SYSTEM】

• Please sign up and pay through this link. https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/21-10-saturday-slot-for-1-person
• We don't use the signup system on Meetup.com anymore. (Neither the waiting list)
• It says this event is full on this meetup page, because I didn't open any slots here for you to sign up. You have to check this sign-up page to see if there is still a slot available there.
• The background of using an external sign-up and payment system is because Meetup.com introduced a service fee to increase 21% of the fee in May 2023, and we want to reduce this cost.

【FEE and REFUND POLICY】

• Fee includes courts and the work I do to continue this group. Please sign up and pay before you come. NO refund if you do not cancel until 48 hours before the event.
• Racket: bring one or rent one at the counter.
• No matter the reason is sickness, accident or anything, the group or I will not afford the cost caused by your absence.
• Of course you CAN'T ask me, "Can I sign up for free for next week because I didn't come to use my slot this week?". Please remember, the court booked for you is there and it costs money. The court doesn't simply become "free of charge", just because you didn't show up.

【COMMUNICATION】

• Communication: our whatsapp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347
• There are too many spams, so I only accept +358 number to join whatsapp group. Numbers from other countries will all be rejected.

• If you have some questions, you can put your questions in the comments on the event page. People will respond.
• If you are new to badminton, please Google basic badminton rules in advance. Serve rules, double rules and point counting rules. You are always welcome to ask anyone in our group. Most of our members are more than happy to help you.
