Rising Stars Event Details

Good evening and thank you for entering the Sussex County Rising Stars badminton tournament 2022.


As you will know from the entry form we are attempting to run both a County and a Non-County event this year.We have had a good number of entries in nearly all of the singles categories  and we are also able to run a doubles competition for most of the categories.
With the the number of singles players entered, it is important that we commence the event on time and would ask that you are at the Dolphin Leisure Centre, Haywards Heath, RH16 1LY by 0900.  There will be a briefing at this time and the matches will commence at 0915.

In all of the singles events players will play in a round robin box of either of 3 or 4 players.  At the end of the round robin the top 2 players will progress to the Main Draw knock out draw and the other players will progress into a Plate competition.  By having a Plate and a Main Draw all players are guaranteed a greater number of matches on the day.


PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PLAYERS WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL MATCHES REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY FINISH IN THEIR BOX, ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE ORGANISER IF YOUR GAMES HAVE ALL BEEN PLAYED BEFORE LEAVING THE CENTRE.Each match will be played to 21.  If the score reaches 20 – 20 the final point will be sudden death, there will be no setting.  If any player wants to have a scorer for the game the organiser will attempt to provide one.  

IF THERE ARE ANY PARENTS WHO CAN HELP OUT ON THE DAY BY SCORING A MATCH PLEASE LET THE ORGANISERS KNOW WHEN YOU ARRIVE ON SUNDAY.


We will be using 4 courts for the event with a 5th court that will be set up for the organisers table, players waiting area and a small spectating area.  With the number of players attending and the number of matches that need to be put on we would ask that players and parents do not move around the playing courts but remain in the central viewing area.  For parents there is an upstairs standing viewing area.


It is hoped that the Doubles events will start by 1400 but this will be dependant on the singles matches.  If you are only playing doubles we would ask that you arrive by1330 as we may be able to start early.


If you are unable to attend on Sunday please let Mark Russ know so that any alterations can be made to the tournament
