Oldham & Rochdale Badminton League
We are the longest-standing badminton league in the North West, formed in the 1950’s after a group of friends decided to form a competitive mixed doubles league.

From now on, it's been simplified so that if they play one player down, whatever games they play, the opposition get a 5 point start. If they play two players down, the opposition get a 10 point start. That's all that happens, no removing bonus points or taking points off the score. The higher player/s must play as the team's position 1 or 1/2, and they mustn't be the higher ranked players from the higher team unless it's totally unavoidable….

We are now running a three division league, Hopefully we will all be able to enjoy a less packed season & have some good quality games. New rule about playing higher division players comes into effect this year, if playing one down, they must be in the position 1 on the team & all matches played by them give the opposition a 5 point start. If two players play down they must be at number 1 & 2 and give a 10 point start to the opposition. No more taking points off at the end or losing bonus points. Also, wherever possible the players from the higher team shouldn't be the best players from that team. Worst to first is the idea. Good luck to everyone in their respective teams/division's, and please be respectful to each other when playing….
