Inter Association Draw

Step 2 – Do a best possible fit for teams into groups for each weekend
NOTE: Step 2 aims at getting the best possible travel for each team
- regardless of court availability or equal sharing - that happens in Step 3
The groupings only show where each team possibly travel to – not who they would actually play.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 represent the different weekends but do NOT mean that will be the weekends in actual order
- these will change in Step 3 and 4

Step 3 – Check the availability of courts from the entry forms and re-adjust the results of Step 2
Start with the worst groups from Step 2.

Step 4 – Analyze the ratio of court assignments for Associations in relation to the number of teams entered and with each other
Re-adjust the results of Step 3

Step 5 - Confirm with Associations by email, that assigned courts are available
If not, re-adjust the results of Step 4 and re-email affected Associations for court confirmation

Step 6 – Prepare a draft draw showing locations and dates

Step 7 – Prepare a draft draw showing actual ties to be played

Step 8 – Perform a full review of each Division

Step 9 – Release the final draft version for Association approval
(Any Association shall have the right of appeal to Badminton NZ. Such appeal shall be made in writing within 14 days of notification of the draw and be supported by a statement of case – By Law 3(e))

Step 10 – Release the final version
