The 2nd Whitehall Road Junior Badminton Open tournament is on the weekend of the 27th and 28th of August 2016.

On Saturday the 27th of August the under 12 and under 16 tournament will be played. On Sunday the 28th of August the under 14 and under 18 tournament will be played.

This is a round robin tournament in the initial phases,so that everyone who enters  gets at least 2 matches, but more likely depending on entry three or four matches. Last year we were able to get a lot of round robin groups of five, so everyone got four matches.

In the knockout latter stages of the tournament the scoring system will revert to the traditional best of three games to 21 points.

The tournament is an under 12, under 14, under 16 and under 18 tournament. We are following the Badminton Ireland rules on under age badminton which is essentially no change from last year.

Due to the round robin format of the tournament, there will be no Mixed doubles played in this tournament.
