During tournament play, we encourage participants, parents, coaches, and spectators to leave the venue after your line judging duties are complete in order to reduce crowding. We will continue to require face-coverings unless engaged in warm-up or competition.

Line Judging

It is mandatory for all players to line judge following the end of their matches as follows:

  • The winning pair of every doubles match (mixed or same gender) shall line judge for the next match
  • Both players of a singles match shall line judge for the next match

If you would like to register as a replacement line judge for your child, please fill out this form – https://form.jotform.com/211716316497055. Note that you will need to have current active USA Badminton membership, NCSI background check, and SafeSport training.
