    Poor Mag.. she had to practically sit out the entire session. Truly a good captain, generous with self-sacrifice. Theoretically, 3+1 courts should be able to cater for (3x8) + (1x4) = 28 players.

    The total court time is 7 hrs (or 420 min). On the average, each game should be about 10 min, to give 42 games in total. Each game involves 4 players,
    so there should be 168 slots. Divided by 28, each player is entitled 6 games.

    If everyone practices self-restraint after having 6 games, then there should not be overcrowding. Does it mean that if u come early, u are entitled to more games, and if u come late, u are entitled less?

    The new scoring format in badminton has seriously damaged the nature of the game. Back in the 60's.. (hehe.. people now refer to me as a 60's player), an average game would be 20-30 min. If u meet strong opponents, one hard game is enough to send u packing. Nowadays, the game is 5-10 min.. which can actually be classified as "warm-up" time. By the time the next game is up, most people would have fully recharged. This means they can practically play on forever and ever.. (if u dun believe me, go watch DaveC in action on Sunday nite. He can play 6 hrs non-stop). So, dear captain Mag, even if u extend until midnight, there will still be overcrowding!

    No rules can overcome this problem, only cooperation from the players themselves.

    Wow, Eddy your maths calculations has got me bonkers :crying:trying to figure out the sum but I think it makes sense. Yes, in an ideal and perfect environment, this arrangement will work out fine but most times, it is not the case. But, to be fair to all I will limit players from now on for more quality play............and I dont have to get bitten by mosquitoes for sitting down most times.........:eek:

    Yes, Eddy I would love to tryout the 60's game format and see everyone getting knocked out just after one game..............You're 60's man..........I would like to see an encore of that signature serve of yours again.:p

    For the benefit of others who didnt know, Eddy did a 60's serve style to Isaac(our national level player) and Isaac couldnt retrieve it. Classic. Should have recorded the moment on video:D

    If not mistaken, the 60's is playing 21 points with service. Of cause will knock out after a game.

    Yesterday night was overcrowded. It does happen once in a while. Since the empty slots are closed today. Please remain closed. Unless all 4 courts session time is from 8pm to 10pm. or strikers request to join in last min we can always have an exception...ha ha.

    Yes, it shall remain closed. In fact I need to take out one player. Eric and Saniljit posted together. If got a player pull out, I will cap it at 25. Need to keep my promise and be fair to my regulars.....
    Do keep a lookout eddy. Am sure got someone pulling out by Tuesday. Would love some help with the mosquitioes..........

    Starting from 2nd week November, I will have 4 courts all two hours, then can have more players.

    bear in mind: 15pts with service, the game could be dragged 20-35mins when four players level on par...

    Are they strikers or midfielders or goalkeeper?

    p/s:
    strikers = Noon, Jocelyn, etc...
    midfielders = the rest..
