01 — Why bother

Nobody here plays for a living

Zero résumé required

Whether you play every weekend or haven't held a racket since school, there's a spot for you on the court. No competitive experience required.

RM20 comes back

The deposit is refunded once you've played your first match. It's really just a promise that you'll turn up.

Pick your poison

Men's doubles for the ones who trust their partner's forehand. Mixed for the ones who'd rather share the blame.

“Half the field last time had never played a scored game — and one of them made the semi-final.”

03 — The categories

Choose your game

Every category asks something different of you — precision, partnership, or nerve.

Men's Doubles

Two men, one side of the net, one shared plan that lasts until the first rally.

Mixed Doubles

One man, one woman, and the category everyone argues about for the rest of the year. Historically the best final.

Sign the pledge

01 No smashing at faces / body

02 Casual doesn't mean careless

04 Physical discomfort or injury? Call it — pulling out beats pushing through

I sign the court pledge, confirm I'm medically fit to play, and understand badminton carries a risk of injury — I take part at my own risk.
