The 2018 BC Junior U13/U17 Provincial Championship will be hosted in partnership with Shuttle Sport in Port Coquitlam. This event will showcase the U13 and U17 age categories and conclude the 2017-2018 BC Junior season prior to the Junior National Championships to be held in Ontario in May.
Previously, the BC Junior Provincial Championship incorporated all junior age categories and was growing each year however beyond the capacity of Badminton BC and our affiliated clubs to manage and still provide a quality competitive sport experience. The 2018 BC Junior Provincial Championship will be delivered over two weekends staging the U15/U19 age categories on April 6-8 and U13/U17 from April 13 - 15. The intent behind this change is to: 1) provide more opportunities for affiliated clubs to growing host capacity, 2) increase the inventory of venues available, and 3) a more manageable event for clubs to provide coach support for the athletes.
Participants are reminded that the Technical Regulations specify that regardless of age category, every participant eligible to compete in the Championship can only, over the course of the two weekends, compete in a maximum of 3 events - 1 singles, 1 doubles and 1 mixed. For example, U15 Girls Singles April 6-8th and U17 Girls Doubles & Mixed Doubles April 13-15.
This is consistent to circuit play all season long and the regulations of the National Championship.
Best wishes to all participants at the Provincial Championship!
