Procedure
Make the most of our drop-in sessions! Figure out exactly what to do before, during, and after.
Find Us at Session
CIF Gyms 1 and 2
Execs will be stationed inside the back storage room attached to the gyms in front of our cabinet:
On the left door - all member tags are organized on hooks
In front - large board used to organize tags of present members
Know Your Tag ID
This tag ID consists of a letter and a two digit number.
Locate Your Tag
The hooks are arranged in a grid with letters (columns) and numbers (rows). Follow the grid system to find your tag based on your letter and the last digit of your number.
Place it on the Board
There are three sections on the board.
- Boxes represent courts 1 to 8
- Waiting area (place tag here when you arrive)
- Must Go On (MGO) tags have priority for next rotation
Rotate On/Off Courts
Every 13 minutes, we will setup the next games and call 'COURT CHANGE'.
Come to the board and check for your tag position.
If your tag is on:
- One of the courts - go to that court
- Waiting area or MGO - take a break and check again in 13 minutes
Put Your Tag Back When Leaving
Remember to take your tag off the board and back on its correct hook.
If you want to leave but have been assigned to a court next rotation, tell an exec to find a replacement.*
*You must play if assigned to a challenge court otherwise you will risk demotion (exceptions for valid reasons).
Services
Matchmaking makes it easy to get into fun and fair games. We do more than just that.
Game Requests
Playing with friends
Ask an exec to link you and your friend's tags.
You can unlink at any time.
Don't like playing singles?
Ask an exec to mark 'NS' or 'No Singles' directly on your tag.
If your preference is temporary (for a rotation/session), the exec can mark your tag with a sticky note.
Equipment
What Should You Bring?
We provide poles, nets, and nylon shuttlecocks for your use.
Just bring proper indoor athletic shoes and attire. Bring your own racquet if you have one.
Replacing Shuttlecocks
If you break your shuttlecock during a game, bring it back and ask for a replacement.
Borrow a Racquet
Have your WATcard ready and we'll swap it with a racquet.
When you're finished for the session, please return our racquet and get your WATcard back.

Rules & Policies
Food and Drinks
Food and drinks without re-sealable lids are not permitted inside the gym.
Dress Code
For your safety, proper shoes and attire are required while playing on court.
Jeans and flip-flops are examples of inappropriate attire.
Additionally, masks must be worn at all times when off the court and may be removed ONLY when playing. This is subject to change as public health situations develop. Please keep updated by following our Facebook page or by joining our Discord.
Session Limit
We enforce a session cap of up to 70 players.
Once we reach capacity, members will not be allowed to place their tags on the board. They will have to wait until another player leaves or try again at another session.
Note: we limit our sessions to prevent extremely long wait times between rotations.
Tag Usage
Tags are for personal use and are non-transferrable.
For example, you may not tell your friend to use your tag while you're away for the weekend.
The tag you use at session must be yours and have your name written on it. Violation of this rule can result in a ban from playing at UWBC.
Challenge Games
All members (level 2 and higher) are susceptible to challenge matches.
This system helps us regulate member levels and arrange fair games. Players must play challenge matches otherwise they will be demoted (exceptions for valid reasons).
Refunds
We have no refund policy.
Memberships are also non-transferrable so please review all of our content before registering.
