Badminton club Kwinkslag proved again this week that competition and fun go well together. With different forms of play, traditional badminton became surprising and interactive.
Unusual Lines: “Hilarious”
The tournament deliberately deviated from traditional badminton. “The game was played with two fields of mixed games and one field with a handicap,” according to the organization. On the latter field, experiments were conducted with a special setup: “Where the volleyball net is interwoven with a badminton net and the size of the badminton court.” Players had to replay four times and then move on to another field. The result? “Hilarious: so much fun.”
Guest players and prizes
As in previous years, guest players also joined. That created extra dynamics and unexpected duos. There were a total of eight prizes to be won. “Our old badminton player Jos Bunschoten won the main prize.” The consolation prize went to guest player Jeroen van Rijn.
More than just a tournament
Kwinkslag is known as an accessible association where fun comes first. The Christmas tournament fits in with a longer tradition of recreational badminton, in which regular members and newcomers are on the court together. The association also uses such evenings to introduce interested parties to the sport. “Are you saying, let me take part in this fun, fast racket game? Then just come along on Thursday evening at 7.30 pm in the Boei,” the organization concludes.
