Hi, i was just curious how exactly badminton progresses, where exactly do you start competitively what leagues and tournaments and how do you work your way up through beginner to professional, how does the ranking system work?
Ranking System: http://badminton.ca/Files/Canadian_Ranking_System-_Oct_09.pdf Tournaments: http://badminton.ca/Players/Senior/Tournaments/Canadian.aspx?sflang=en Those links are for the national level. But surely you can contact your provincial badminton association to tell you how to start locally. Good luck.
Where are you at in Canada? If you're in Ontario, there is an Ontario Badminton Association that can help you find the right level/age group tournaments for you. Most are on the higher end of competition but there are a good few tourneys on their calendar each year for people starting out in tournaments. Check it out at: http://www.badmintonontario.ca/ Not sure if other provinces have this as well. Good luck!
