    2. How early should i arrive on the day of a tournament?
    3. do they give you warm up time before the matches?

    1. depends on the tournament, if its a club 1 or a open 1

    2. b there about 10 - 15 mins before hand, so u can register and jus so u r in no rush. Nice to jus inspect the court, what grip is like, lighting, height of roof etc jus so u arent caught un aware!

    3. Yes there will always be a warm up, in many of my tournaments, players will hit about a bit until every1 is registered and then jus b4 each match, the shuttle is generally hit around 4 few minutes until both players feel they are ready

    Hope this helps

    1. It depends on the organizer. There is what you call "open tournaments," meaning it's open for everybody. There are also tournaments that are exclusive only for club members.

    2. Varsity - the principal squad representing a university, college, school, or club especially in a sport (Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary)

    Remember! Give us a heads up about what happens!
    Also, don't be discouraged if you lose your games. Remember Pro's and good players have lost tons of games before, thats how they improve.
