Teams that default or withdraw during the competition will additionally be liable for any justified actual expenses incurred by other teams in their division. (b) If an Association is not able to fill all its fixed teams for the current season, as per Rule 2 (b), then it must field the higher ranked teams first as per Rule 7(a). If an Association is to withdraw a team from Senior Division 1 or 2 after 1st May then it must be the lowest ranked of these teams.

6. Eligibility of Players (a) A player must be in good standing with Badminton NZ and their own Association. (b) A New Zealand player is defined as a person who holds any of the following: I. A New Zealand Passport; II. New Zealand Citizenship; or III. New Zealand Residency PROVIDED THAT in the case of Residency a player must have resided continuously in New Zealand for a minimum of one year. This status must be held at the time when the team list is submitted. Associations must provide proof of this status, if requested by Badminton New Zealand. That all other players are classified as overseas players. A maximum of 2 overseas players are allowed per team with the exception of Junior Divisions: Under 19, Under 17 & Under 15. Associations may apply to Badminton New Zealand for overseas students to be included in
35 junior teams upon proof of the student’s enrolment and continuous residency for a minimum of 12 weeks prior to submission of any ranking list. Badminton New Zealand may grant entry eligibility of a player at their discretion”.
(c) In a given season a player may play for different Associations in each of the following categories of competition: I. Under 23 II. Seniors III. Masters IV. Veterans V. Super Veterans In addition, where a player plays Senior Division 3-5 for an Association that does not have a team in Seniors Division 1 Wisden or Seniors Division 2 Slazenger, that player may also represent some other Association in either Seniors Division 1 or 2. (d) In the categories of Seniors Division 3-5, Masters, Veterans and Super-Veterans, an Association that is suddenly unable to field a full team for a particular weekend of ties, due to special circumstances (eg. injury or travel difficulties), must obtain the written permission of Badminton NZ to include “emergency reserves” from alternative associations. Failure to do this will result in the games involving such player(s) being defaulted. (e) In any one season a player can play for only one Association for the combination of the following categories of competition. I. Under 15; II. Under 17; III. Under 19 If a player from these categories also plays in a Seniors Division they do not need to represent the same Association as they represent in the age restricted competition. (f) A player must not play in more than ONE TEAM in the SAME DIVISION for that season unless the written permission of Badminton NZ has been granted. Juniors competing in any of the Under 19/17/15 competitions are exempt from this ruling provided that the association they first represent does not have a team in the subsequent competions. Interpretation – this is to enable a player to play in a competition when their own Association is unable to field a team (g) A player cannot be named and/or play in both a Seniors Division 1 Wisden Cup team and a Seniors Division 2 Slazenger Cup team in the same year. However, where prior to the Ties commencing a named player is forced to retire from a Seniors Division 1 Wisden Cup team, a player who was named in a Seniors Division 2 Slazenger Cup team may be promoted to take that player’s place in the Seniors Division 1 Wisden Cup team, provided that he or she ceases to be named in the Seniors Division 2 Slazenger Cup team. (h) Badminton NZ will allow a junior to play in Division 1 or 2, regardless of what other Divisions they have played in, in the same year, provided that player has not played Division 1 or 2 in previous years This is to allow teams to name Junior as a 6th player to give them experience in the Wisden/Slazenger Cup environment. (i) The Under 23 Division is restricted to players who are over 19 and under 23 years of age during the year of the competition. (j) The Under 19 division is restricted to players who turn 17 or 18 during the year of the competition PROVIDED THAT up to two (2) players can come from a younger age group. The Under 17 division is restricted to players who are under seventeen (17) years of age throughout the year of competition. The Under 15 division is restricted to players who are under fifteen (15) years of age throughout the year of competition. (kj) The Masters Division is restricted to players who are at least thirty four (34) years of age throughout the year of competition (i.e. may play if turning 35 years of age during the year of competition) The Veterans Division is restricted to players who are at least forty nine (49) years of age throughout the year of competition (i.e. may play if turning 50 years of age during the year of competition)
36 The Super Veterans Division is restricted to players who are at least fifty nine (59) years of age throughout the year of competition (ie. may play if turning 60 years of age during the year of competition). (l) Age restricted players may, provided they meet the age requirements of each age group, play in any of the age groups. They may also compete in Seniors Division play under the same conditions as the non-age group players.
7. Grading (a) Multiple teams from the same Association in the same competition (e.g. Seniors [Divs 1-5], Masters [Divs 1- 5], Veterans [Divs 1-3], Super Veterans, Under 19, 17, 15) are to have the strongest team in the higher ranked Division, with the next strongest team in the following Division, etc. If, however, there are 2 teams from an Association in the same Division of a category of competition those two teams may be of equal ranking. (b) A player who plays more than the set number of Ties in a higher Division must not play again in a lower Division in that season. The number of Ties is: i) Seniors Division 1 & 2 and other categories that have all the zone Ties scheduled on consecutive days: 2 Ties. ii) All other categories: One weekend series of Ties. (c) For Seniors Division 1 Wisden Cup and Seniors Division 2 Slazenger Cup teams, the first five men and five women of singles merit order shall automatically be deemed Division 1 or 2 players for that season regardless of Rule 7(b). (d) Teams that use a player not qualified under Rules 6, 7 and 8(a) will have all that player’s matches disqualified in Ties played that season. Matches played in lower position order than those played by the disqualified player will also be disqualified.
8. Composition of Teams (a) i) Each team, except Super Veterans, Veterans and Under 23 and Under 19, shall consist of a minimum of 4 men and 4 women up to a maximum of 6 men and 6 women, including reserves. ii) A Veterans, Super Veterans and Under 23 and Under 19 team shall consist of a minimum of 3 men and 3 women up to a maximum of 5 men and 5 women including reserves. iii) The team membership must be the same if the Ties played are on the same day or consecutive days. (b) i) Seniors Division 1 Wisden Cup and Seniors Division 2 Slazenger Cup teams are to register their intended teams with Badminton New Zealand by 1 May each year. Each player is to have a notation as whether they are a New Zealand or Overseas player. Interpretation - Players, who are named in the provisional lists at the beginning of the season, may be replaced (due to injury or unavailability). An independent verification is required eg. Doctor’s certificate or business letter. If the provisional lists do not name all 6 men and 6 women, then any ‘gaps’ will not be allowed to be filled by a lower division player. Overseas players on the provisional list will not be allowed to be replaced by a lower division player. ii) For Seniors Division 1 Wisden Cup and Seniors Division 2 Slazenger Cup, NZ Under 23, 19, 17, 15 a team ranking list on the form provided, detailing all the team members’ names must be submittedin ORDER OF MERIT for singles plus all the doubles combinations intended to be used in ORDER OF MERIT to Badminton NZ, at least 21 days prior to the start of the first TIE.

For all Overseas Players, Associations must submit a 3 year playing history for all overseas players and to be attached to the Order of Merits list. If playing history is not submitted the overseas player will not be able to play in the event. Interpretation -: Order of Merits should follow the player points order of merit, if not then deviations are to be justified. iii) Badminton NZ will circulate the above ranking lists, for Seniors Division 1, Division 2 and NZ Under 23, Under 19, Under 17 and Under 15 , Associations may protest which must be supported by a statement of case. Any alterations considered necessary by Badminton NZ (as a result of any protest received, or

Badminton NZ selectors will review the lists and make any necessary changes. The team lists are to include the player’s date of birth v) Where a player is unable to take his or her place in a team prior to the commencement of the first Tie because of injury, illness, the operation of Rule 6(g) or for any other reason, the Association has the right to name a replacement player and as soon as practicable the Association must submit a revised ranking list in ORDER OF MERIT. vi) All teams competing in Junior Inter Association ties, North and South Island Under 17 and 15 and NZ Under 19, 17 and 15 are to have a non-playing adult Manager.

(e) DURING A TIE i) If it is discovered that matches are playing ‘out of order’ they shall be stopped immediately and replayed in the ‘corrected order’. Any finished matches shall also be replayed in the ‘corrected order’. ii) If, after the last match in the Tie has been completed, it is discovered that matches have been played ‘out of order’, the results stand as they are with no replays. No defaults can be claimed or awarded. iii) If a player is incapacitated and is unable to continue, the match in progress shall be forfeited. If team consists of only the minimum number of players all remaining matches in which the incapacitated player is unable to play shall be forfeited. iv) If a team consists of more than the minimum number of players (refer Rule 8(a)) then one member must substitute for the incapacitated player, in that player’s position, in the remaining matches of that Tie provided that the substitute complies with Rule 9(a).

(g) The winner of a Tie shall be the team winning the greater number of matches. If matches won are even, then the winner shall be the team winning the greater number of games, then points, in that order. If all these are even then the result shall be a draw. (h) Those parts of the competition played on a ‘Round Robin’ basis will have the placings decided by the greatest number of TIES won. Should more than one team be equal on the number of TIES won, then that equality shall be decided by the descending order of: firstly, the greater number of TIES DRAWN, then, if necessary by secondly, the greater number of MATCHES WON. If equality still exists then, thirdly, the higher value of GAMES WON minus GAMES LOST. Followed by, if necessary, fourthly, the higher value of POINTS WON minus POINTS LOST. If the teams are still equal and further competition is to be played then the placings will be decided by the toss of a coin. Where no further competition is to be played then the teams will be declared equal. If a team defaults then the results involving that team will be discarded in calculating the breaking of equality on matches, games and points. (Teams that have a DRAWN TIE in a ‘Round Robin’ shall NOT toss to break that equality). (i) Defaults - refer Clause 5. (j) All matches in Divisions 1 and 2, Under 23, Under 19, Under 17 and Under 15 shall be umpired. (k) Wherever possible all other matches are to be umpired.

Any singles players still unavailable for play five (5) minutes after the conclusion of the last singles match shall have that match(es) defaulted (and Rule 9(f) (i) applies). The same sequence shall be used for the doubles and also for the mixed doubles.
11. Results (a) Badminton NZ shall supply suitable result sheets for the recording of Inter Association Ties and Referee Report forms.

42 BY LAWS FOR INTER ASSOCIATION COMPETITION Interpretations and Clarifications
The Numbering system used is as per the ‘By Laws for Inter Association Competition’.
5 (a) Own Association – Home Association A Player’s Home Association is initially where they live. If a player moves to a new location, it is expected that they then play for their new Association. A Player may move (to a neighbouring Association) and remain playing for the first Association, providing they play all their Inter Association at the one Association. They may play for a 2nd Association – as covered by By Laws 5(c). If a player wishes to play for another Association, without moving, then they need to inform both Associations before they do. They should do this at the end of a season, as that is when Associations have to enter their team numbers for the following season. A ‘Change of Home Association’ form is available for a player to inform both Associations. Associations cannot prevent a player from changing, however they should enter into dialog with the player and with the ‘other’ Association if they would prefer that player not to go. Badminton NZ updates the national database once the completed form has been received. They do not make a decision on the change.
5 (b) Overseas Players An overseas player is defined as a player who is not a NZ Player. A NZ Player must hold one of the following: a NZ Passport, Citizenship or Residency. In the case of Residency a player must have resided continuously in New Zealand for a minimum of one year.
5 (c) More Than One Association To gain permission from Badminton NZ, a ‘More Than One Association’ form must be completed and sent in.
5 (g) Division 1 and 2 players must not have played in a lower division Players who are named in the provisional lists at the beginning of the season, may be replaced (due to injury or unavailability). An independent verification is required eg. Doctor’s certificate or business letter. If the provisional lists do not name all 6 men and 6 women, then any ‘gaps’ will not be allowed to be filled by a lower division player. Overseas players on the provisional list will not be allowed to be replaced by a lower division player.
Badminton NZ will allow a junior to play in Division 1 or 2, regardless of what other Divisions they have played in, provided that player has not played Division 1 or 2 before. This is to allow teams to name Junior as a 6th player to give them experience in the Wisden/Slazenger Cup environment.
8 (f) iii) Incapacitated player If a player is injured during a match and cannot continue, then that match is stopped and the score is written up showing full points to the other side. If the incapacitated player is unable to start the next match when that is due to be played, then they are not permitted to play any further matches in that tie. They can, however, play in a later tie that day, although they may be asked to produce a medical certificate, if the Referee is concerned about the injury.
43 8 (f) iv) Substitution for injury On the Tie sheet, the incapacitated player is crossed out and the substitute’s name is written in. The other players for that match play as written down. The ranking list order is ignored for this match. A second substitute can play in the incapacitated player’s place for a second match – it does not have to be the same substitute who plays in both matches.
GUIDE TO SHUTTLE USAGE FOR INTER ASSOCIATION COMPETITION
Feather shuttles will be used for the playing of all Inter Association Ties.
At the start of a Tie each Team should put a tube of shuttles into the shuttle pool. If necessary, extra shuttles should be added to the pool equally. At the conclusion of the Tie the shuttles should be sorted and the use equalised (shuttle per shuttle).
It is unlikely that every team will have the same brand of shuttle. Disputes over which brand to use may arise. When the two teams in a Tie cannot agree which of the two approved brands of shuttle are to be used the following procedure must be used:
The toss of a coin shall decide the brand of shuttle to be used for the first match. The second match shall use the other brand and thereafter on an equal basis.
DURING PLAY
A player may only change the shuttle during a match provided that the opponent agrees and the Umpire has given consent.
The main reason for a replacement is a change in the speed of the shuttle being used.
The testing procedure to be used to determine the correct speed is:
1 Use a full underhand stroke which makes contact with the shuttle over the back boundary line. The shuttle shall be hit at an upward angle and in a direction parallel to the side lines. 2 A shuttle of correct speed will land not less than 530mm and not more than 990mm short of the other back boundary line.
Managers must keep alert to any likely disputes in this regard. The Umpire has the final decision but many juniors will not have had the experience to handle the situation to the letter of the law.
WILFUL DAMAGE
Wilful damage of a shuttle during play is a flagrant offence under the Laws of Badminton and the offending player can be disqualified by the Referee. If a player is disqualified then that corresponding match in all subsequent Ties played by that Team will be automatically disqualified also [Inter Association Competition By Laws Clause 8(g)].

SERVICE 9.1 In a correct service: 9.1.1 neither side shall cause undue delay to the delivery of the service once the server and the receiver are ready for the service. On completion of the backward movement of server’s racket head, any delay in the start of the service (Law 9.2), shall be considered to be an undue delay; 9.1.2 the server and the receiver shall stand within diagonally opposite service courts (Diagram A) without touching the boundary lines of these service courts; 9.1.3 some part of both feet of the server and the receiver shall remain in contact with the surface of the court in a stationary position from the start of the service (Law 9.2) until the service is delivered (Law 9.3); 9.1.4 the server’s racket shall initially hit the base of the shuttle; 9.1.5 the whole shuttle shall be below the server’s waist at the instant of being hit by the server’s racket. The waist shall be considered to be an imaginary line round the body, level with the lowest part of the server’s bottom rib; 9.1.6 the shaft of the server’s racket at the instant of hitting the shuttle shall be pointing in a downward direction; 9.1.7 the movement of the server’s racket shall continue forwards from the start of the service (Law 9.2) until the service is delivered (Law 9.3); 9.1.8 the flight of the shuttle shall be upwards from the server’s racket to pass over the net so that, if not intercepted, it shall land in the receiver’s service court (ie. on or within the boundary lines); and 9.1.9 in attempting to serve, the server shall not miss the shuttle. 9.2 Once the players are ready for the service, the first forward movement of the server’s racket head shall be the start of the service. 9.3 Once started (Law 9.2), the service is delivered when the shuttle is hit by the server’s racket or, in attempting to serve, the server misses the shuttle. 9.4 The server shall not serve before the receiver is ready. However, the receiver shall be considered to have been ready if a return of the service is attempted. 9.5 In doubles, during the delivery of service (Law 9.2, 9.3), the partners may take up any positions within their respective courts, which do not unsight the opposing server or receiver.
51 10. SINGLES 10.1 Serving and receiving courts 10.1.1 The players shall serve from, and receive in, their respective right service courts when the server has not scored or has scored an even number of points in that game. 10.1.2 The players shall serve from, and receive in, their respective left service courts when the server has scored an odd number of points in that game. 10.2 Order of play and position on court In a rally, the shuttle may be hit by the server and the receiver alternately, from any position on that player’s side of the net, until the shuttle ceases to be in play (Law 15). 10.3 Scoring and serving 10.3.1 If the server wins a rally (Law 7.3), the server shall score a point. The server shall then serve again from the alternate service court. 10.3.2 If the receiver wins a rally (Law 7.3), the receiver shall score a point. The receiver shall then become the new server. 11. DOUBLES 11.1 Serving and receiving courts 11.1.1 A player of the serving side shall serve from the right service court when the serving side has not scored or has scored an even number of points in that game. 11.1.2 A player of the serving side shall serve from the left service court when the serving side has scored an odd number of points in that game. 11.1.3 The player of the receiving side who served last shall stay in the same service court from where he served last. The reverse pattern shall apply to the receiver’s partner. 11.1.4 The player of the receiving side standing in the diagonally opposite service court to the server shall be the receiver. 11.1.5 The players shall not change their respective service courts until they win a point when their side is serving. 11.1.6 Service in any turn of serving shall be delivered from the service court corresponding to the serving side’s score, except as provided in Law 12. 11.2 Order of play and position on court After the service is returned, in a rally, the shuttle may be hit by either player of the serving side and either player of the receiving side alternately, from any position on that player’s side of the net, until the shuttle ceases to be in play (Law 15). 11.3 Scoring and serving 11.3.1 If the serving side wins a rally (Law 7.3), the serving side shall score a point. The server shall then serve again from the alternate service court. 11.3.2 If the receiving side wins a rally (Law 7.3), the receiving side shall score a point. The receiving side shall then become the new serving side. 11.4 Sequence of serving In any game, the right to serve shall pass consecutively: 11.4.1 from the initial server who started the game from the right service court 11.4.2 to the partner of the initial receiver. 11.4.3 to the partner of the initial server 11.4.4 to the initial receiver, 11.4.5 to the initial server and so on. 11.5 No player shall serve or receive out of turn, or receive two consecutive services in the same game, except as provided in Laws 12. 11.6 Either player of the winning side may serve first in the next game, and either player of the losing side may receive first in the next game.
52 12. SERVICE COURT ERRORS 12.1 A service court error has been made when a player: 12.1.1 has served or received out of turn; or 12.1.2 has served or received from the wrong service court. 12.2 If a service court error is discovered, the error shall be corrected and the existing score shall stand. 13.
