Additional Post-Restricted County Trials
If you are interested in playing County badminton this year then get your pencil and diary out.
Sunday 5th October 1-4 at CRC we will be running a county teams trial to provide an opportunity for people to put themselves forward for potential county selection and provide a chance to identify potential for the future.
To help with planning, please reply to selection@cambridgeshirebadminton.org by Friday 26th September to let us know that you will be attending. Also, if you have friends or club colleagues that you think would be interested then sign them up as well. Please don't just turn up on the day as we aim to plan the fixtures in advance.
Please note, if there is insufficient interest (less that 15 respondents) we will cancel the event; alternatively, if we are inundated we'll split the trials session up to allow for a pre-selection phase.
All the best
Graham
on behalf of the Selection Committee

Restricted Entries Closing 18 September
A quick encouragement to anyone planning on entering the County Players (Restricted) Tournament this year.
This is the first year where entries for the tournament has been run through Badminton England's Tournament Software system. This provides a great number of benefits, but requires that each user has their individual login, based on their Badminton England registration number.
(Please note that your user ID for Tournament Software should be your BE number, prefixed with "beuk", so eg. "beuk100226").
As entries have begun, it has become apparent that a small minority of people are having problems - either because they have mislaid their membership number, or because they are not actually registered through BE for some reason.
If you are planning on entering the Restricted, please get your applications in AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The closing date of midnight on 18th September is ABSOLUTE, because the Tournament Secretary Neil Place needs to make the draw on 19th before he leaves for the European Championships in Portugal. This means if you have any problems with your registration, if you have left it to the last minute it WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE to sort them out and you will not be included in the draw.
To avoid disappointment, please act now and complete your entries.
If you have problems, or questions about your registration, please contact County Registration Secretary Louise Tarbit at latarbit@gmail.com
