Player Code of Conduct

The Carlingwood Badminton Club will operate within a positive atmosphere of respect, fair play and good sportsmanship. Regular board selection play will be offered to permit challenging games at appropriate levels for all members, at the same time as providing an opportunity for social play among all members.

• Respect the court time allowed for games. Leave your court promptly for rotation.
• Be aware and respectful to games and players that are on other courts. For example players leaving or entering the court should do so as quickly and with as little disruption as possible to the games that are in progress.

  1. Keep the score correctly B state the score clearly after each rally
  2. Call the lines fairly (remember it is the lines on your own side of the net for which you are responsible)
  3. Shake hands after each match
  4. Congratulate your opponent politely if you lose
  5. Acknowledge a strength, good shot, or good rally of your opponent when you win.
  6. Accept congratulations graciously from your opponent.
