YONEX BaTLe of Atlanta. It’s the Badminton Team League (BaTLe) of Atlanta. You will have multiple teams fight (compete) for the Champion's Trophy. In addition to the trophy, we will have individual awards for the Best Warrior (Player) and Most Improved Warrior of the League.  

Each Team will have 2 Singles Lines and 3 Doubles Lines. A player can play in one Singles and one Doubles, but not two game of the same format. (A player can't play in both Singles lines or more than one double lines).  

A doubles player can change the line only by one Level throughout the league. A player playing Line1 Doubles can play Line 2 doubles, but, not Line 3. A Player that played Line3 can play Line 2, but can't play Line1. 

Line1 and Line 2 Singles players could be Male or Female. Line1 Doubles and Line 2 Doubles could be both male or both female or mixed doubles playing against two male or female players.

3^rd Line Doubles has to be a Mixed Doubles Line. If you don't have a female player available to play that day, you will have to forfeit that line. 

Each player in the team should play at least one match during the league Round Robin. If a player did not play in the round robin at all, he/she is not eligible for Playoff Round. This will ensure everyone in the team to participate.

There will be a match every weekend. Availability Time for ABC is Saturday, 3 to 7PM and Sunday 3 to 7PM. ATL-Sport Club is available on Saturday, between 2 to 8PM. Schedule will be published ahead of start date.

Team Captains will coordinate the exact time of availability for all lines. All team members must be available on the agreed up on time. If courts are not available for all lines, Line1 Matches would start first, followed by Line2 and Line3. If a player or players (for doubles) are not on the court, within 15 minutes of the scheduled time, the other team will get a win by forfeit. No exceptions.

Matches can be played early if both team captains agree to schedule their matches (for whatever the reason), however, all scores for all lines should be submitted by that mid night on Sunday.

Teams will play half their games in their Home Court and Half of them Away.  Hosting team must provide the birds for the matches and may provide food/ drinks to the visiting teams. 

All matches are played in accordance to USA Badminton rules and with utmost sportsmanship. The goal is to have fun and spread the sport and you may win some matches doing that.
