The information below is intended to provide assistance in purchasing a Badminton NL Membership and entering a sanctioned Badminton NL tournament.

Mmembership is mandatory in order to access Badminton NL programming and must be paid before registering for a sanctioned event. Memberships are valid from September 1 – August 31.

Badminton NL membership renewal is now available. Effective 01 September 2017, any player trying to register for a tournament in Newfoundland and Labrador or a sanctioned Badminton Canada event that is using Badminton Tournament Planner to accept on-line entries must have a current – valid membership with Badminton NL.

Individual Membership Info

Badminton Newfoundland and Labrador has been working closely with Badminton Canada to deploy a new online player management system which incorporates automated tournament management and a national ranking system for those players competing at a Provincial (including Atlantic Region) and National level.

The database as well as the Tournament Planner Software will allow Badminton NL to avail of online tournament registration, online tournament planning, draws and results as well as online payment convenience, via credit card or PayPal, through the provision of the Tournament Software.

Affiliation and/or membership is mandatory in order to access Badminton NL programming and must be paid before registering for a sanctioned event. Memberships are valid from September 1 – August 31.
The new Badminton Canada environment(which started June 1, 2016) requires that all players meet three requirements. All these requirements must be met before a player’s tournament registration will be accepted.

• All players must be defined within the Badminton Canada Player Database(have a valid Player ID)
• All Players must have an account within the Badminton Canada domain which is both active and confirmed
• All players must have a valid Membership for the current season

Once the process is complete, Players will be able to register for tournaments using the Badminton Tournament Planner software via online entry.  If a players is not defined in the National player Database, has not created and confirmed their account or does not have a valid membership for the current season the software will block all attempts at tournament registration.

All members are required to register through the Badminton Canada portal integrating Badminton NL and Badminton Canada Licenses allowing for access to sanctioned tournaments and programming.

Memberships

Badminton NL Member ID

Your ID number is your identity within the national database.

Once you have submitted your application for membership, you will receive an email from our automated database.
You must activate your account through the instructions contained within the email.

Your Badminton NL number will begin with the letters NL followed by five numbers, this becomes your identity within the computerized system.  You will be required to supply this number each time you enter a tournament.

Paying for a membership DOES NOT enter a player into a competition/tournament.

Each player MUST make their own entry AFTER purchasing a membership.

Tournament Software

Badminton NL makes use of several software/on-line products developed by Visual Reality of The Netherlands. As a license holder, we have a web page dedicated to Badminton NL events within the tournament software web.

All tournament announcements will be posted on Badminton NL’s website(badmintonnl.ca) and each tournament will have a tournament/registration site dedicated to it. The announcement will have a link to the registration site for the tournament. To register for a tournament just click on its registration link which will take you to the external tournament site page. See example graphic below.

The graphic above shows a typical tournament info/registration page.  Please be sure to read the Regulations section as there could be pertinent information regarding the tournament.
To Register for the tournament click the “Click here to enter online” button or the Online entry menu item.

You will be taken to the login/signup page where you will see a page similar to the graphic below.

Login and Account

If you have an account just enter your login name and password.

If you do not have an account or have not purchased a Badminton NL membership click the Sign Up button to purchase a Badminton NL membership.

Online entry page – select online entry with an account (even though you may not have an account yet). If you have an account you can simply login here. If you do not have an account you can select – If you do not have an account, you can sign up here – Sign Up. Here you will create your own username and password, so please write it down, as you will need it each time you enter online.

Regulations – simply read and check the “I agree with the regulations box at the bottom of the page”.

Confirm the personal information is correct for the you or the player you are attempting to enter. If you have more than one child entering the tournament, you will be required to have a separate username and password for each child. Under the events tab – you will need to select which events you or the player want to enter.

Entry key for Junior: BS – refers to boys singles, GS – girls singles, BD – boys doubles, GD – girls doubles, XD – mixed doubles.
If you or the player you are entering does not have a doubles partner, but you want them to play doubles, please enter the request in the name partner field. If you or the player you are entering have a partner, enter the players ID number and name(If you do not know your partners ID number please ask him/her for it, this will make things easier for all of us). This way the software will automatically pair the two athletes together as a team. However, this DOES NOT create an entry for the partner. Both partners MUST make their own entry/registration. Partnering of all players who make partner requests is done by Badminton NL after the close of entries.

Online payment step – select Continue with payment. You will now be asked to provide payment via credit card (Visa or MasterCard).

Once your payment has been received your entry will be complete. Your name will not appear on the tournament site, until the tournament organizer has downloaded the entries from the server, and then republished the list of entries. Online entry usually closes 7 days prior to the first day of the tournament. When the tournament organizer republishes the list of names, you will receive an automated email, informing you that your entry has been received.
