Badminton Promotion Race: D2 Contenders

This weekend, the Chambon-sur-Lignon badminton club hosted an official FFBad competition for the first time in its existence.

The Bretchs gymnasium welcomed, on Sunday January 11, the teams vying for accession to D2 during this 3rd day of Division 3 badminton interclubs in Haute-Loire.

To understand, the D3 interclubs bring together 8 teams organized into two groups. Halfway through the competition, the teams are ranked. The 2 best teams from each group advance to a new group vying for accession to D2. The other teams find themselves in a classification group.

After the first two days, the 4 teams vying for accession to Division 2: Bad à Gogo – Team 1 (Sainte Sigolène), Badminton Intercommunal du Plateau – Team 1 (Chambon-sur-Lignon), Badminton Club Brives-Charensac Velay – Team 6, and Committee 43.

Team 1 of BIP Badminton shone in this first interclub phase, since it is the only team to have managed to score 24 points.
