DC Badminton Club — Maplewood Ladder League
Privately organized recreational badminton group operated by Christy George (individual organizer) — not a registered corporation or non-profit
700 Cope Drive, Stittsville · Tuesdays 8:15–10:15 PM · Apr 7 – May 26, 2026

1. Nature of the Activity & Group

DC Badminton Club is a privately organized recreational badminton group. It is not a registered corporation, non-profit, or incorporated association. All sessions are organized by Christy George (individual). By registering, I understand and accept this context and voluntarily choose to participate.

2. Assumption of Risk

I understand that participating in badminton involves inherent risks of physical injury including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, falls, collisions, and eye injuries. I voluntarily and knowingly assume full responsibility for all risks, injuries, or damages that may occur as a result of my participation in DC Badminton Club activities.

3. Release of Liability

I hereby release, waive, and discharge Christy George (individual organizer), any co-organizers, volunteers operating under the DC Badminton Club name, and OCDSB (Ottawa-Carleton District School Board) from any and all claims, liabilities, expenses, or legal actions arising from ordinary negligence related to injuries, losses, or damages incurred during participation. Note: Ontario law does not permit waivers for gross negligence or intentional misconduct — this release covers ordinary negligence only.

4. Physical Condition & Medical

I certify that I am in good physical condition and have no medical conditions that prevent me from safely participating in badminton. If I have medical concerns, I have consulted a physician and obtained clearance. I agree to notify the organizer immediately of any discomfort, pain, or medical issues that arise during participation. DC Badminton Club is not responsible for medical or emergency costs arising from my participation.

5. Age Requirement

This league is open to all ages. Participants under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian register on their behalf and sign this waiver. By registering, I confirm that I am either 18 years of age or older, or that I am a parent/legal guardian registering and accepting responsibility for a minor participant.

6. OCDSB Facility Rules

• Non-marking, soft-soled indoor shoes are mandatory at all times
• No food or drinks in the gymnasium
• No alcohol, smoking, vaping or cannabis on school premises
• Do not arrive before 8:15 PM; vacate by 10:15 PM sharp
• Remain in designated gymnasium areas only
• No nuts, nut products, shellfish or latex items on premises
• No aggressive behaviour, coarse language, or discrimination of any kind
• Only custodians may adjust mechanical or building equipment

7. Personal Belongings

DC Badminton Club and OCDSB are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal belongings while at the facility. Players are responsible for their own equipment and valuables. Leave valuables at home.

8. Strict Non-Refundable Payment Policy (No Exceptions)

All fees paid to DC Badminton Club are final, non-negotiable, and non-refundable under any circumstances, including but not limited to: personal schedule conflicts, illness or injury, relocation, missed sessions, or cancellations due to bad weather, facility closures, or OCDSB/city-imposed shutdowns. Sessions will not be rescheduled or credited unless the organizer cancels for their own internal reasons. Registration is only confirmed upon receipt of full payment.

9. E-Transfer Payment

If paying by e-transfer, it is solely my responsibility to ensure payment is received and confirmed at christygeorge993@gmail.com. If an e-transfer is not received, not confirmed, or rejected, my registration will be considered incomplete and I will not be permitted to participate until resolved.

10. Media Consent

I grant permission to DC Badminton Club to use photographs or videos of me taken during sessions or events for promotional purposes including social media and the club website, at no compensation. To revoke this consent, I must submit a written request to the organizer.

11. Personal Information & Privacy

I consent to DC Badminton Club collecting and using my personal information (name, email, phone, emergency contact, and any medical notes) solely for the purpose of administering the league. This information will not be sold or shared with third parties. It will be retained for the duration of the league season and may be deleted upon request.

12. Consent & Agreement

League Format & Rules
Please read all rules carefully before agreeing.
  1. Arrive 5 minutes early. If late by more than 5 minutes, you will be moved to the last court.
  2. Warm-up is limited to 5 minutes at the start and must be done only on your assigned court. Do not use new shuttlecocks for warm-up — use old/used ones only. Once games begin, no more warm-ups are allowed.
  3. Each court is allotted 8 shuttlecocks (2 per player). Extra shuttlecocks must be provided by players.
  4. Games are played to 21 points. First to reach 21 wins, even at 20-20. No deuce.
  5. Scores are entered by one person per court after confirming with all players. The app shows exactly who plays who in each game (Game 1: A+B vs C+D · Game 2: A+C vs B+D · Game 3: A+D vs B+C).
  6. The top scorer per court moves UP, the lowest scorer moves DOWN each round — no exceptions.
  7. Remaining shuttlecocks are distributed to top scorers per court starting from Court 1.
  8. New shuttlecocks are ONLY for official ladder matches. Use old/used shuttlecocks while waiting between rounds or during casual play.
  9. The court where you finish each session is your starting court the following week. Court positions carry over week to week.
  10. All court allocations are final and decided by the admin. If a higher-caliber spare player joins, you may be displaced from your court position.
  11. Maintain respectful communication and resolve disputes through the admin only. League polls may be conducted via the Facebook group.
  12. Missing a session without notice will move your court one down at the start of the following session. Repeated unexcused absences may result in losing your spot to a waitlist player.
  13. Bring your own water bottle and towel. No glass containers in the gymnasium. Wear non-marking indoor shoes at all times.
  14. Each session has multiple rounds. The number of rounds depends on available time and is decided by the admin. All courts must complete their games before the next round begins.
  15. If a court has fewer than 4 players (due to absences or odd numbers), it switches to singles round-robin format. 3 players play 3 singles games; 2 players play best-of-3 singles.
  16. At the end of each session, remaining shuttlecocks on each court are distributed to the top scorer(s) on that court.
  17. Registration through this app confirms your interest and waiver acceptance. Court placement is handled separately by the admin — registering does not automatically assign you to a court.
  18. The app tracks all scores, rankings, and court movements in real time. Players can view standings, game history, and session results at any time.
I have read and agree to all of the league format rules listed above.
