Registration Period & Selection Process

To give everyone a fair chance to participate, registration will be open from 9 to 22 November (inclusive). As demand usually exceeds the number of available places, registrations will not be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.

How does it work?

Registration – 9 to 22 November

• Everyone can register during this two-week period.
• Registering earlier does not increase your chances of being selected.
• Make sure you have registered before November 23rd, after that we can only place you on the waiting list.

Random Draw

• If registrations exceed capacity, participants will be selected through a random draw.
• When a player is selected, their registered doubles partner automatically qualifies too.
• Both partners must register individually. Otherwise, both will be placed on the waiting list.
• Registering without a partner? We’ll do our best to find you one, but complete doubles pairs will have priority, and we cannot guarantee a partner.

Confirmation – By 30 November

• Selected participants will receive confirmation no later than 30 November, allowing you to arrange your travel and accommodation.
• Everyone else will remain on the waiting list and may be offered a place if cancellations occur.
• If you are not drawn, you and your partner will receive a full refund.

Club or team affiliation

Please include the name of your badminton club or team in the registration form. Where possible, this information will be used to avoid matches between players from the same club or team during the initial stages of the tournament.

Registration withdrawal

Plans changed? No worries! Our refund policy is as follows:

• Until 28 February 2027 (inclusive): 100% refund.
• 1–31 March 2027 (inclusive): 50% refund.
• From 1 April 2027 onwards: No refunds. And no, that’s not an April Fools’ joke! 😉

Personal data

The personal data of registered participants will be used for the organisation and administration of the Kingsday Tournament 2027.

This includes creating and publishing tournament schedules, participant lists and results, which may contain participants’ first and last names, country, club, discipline and playing level.

This information may be published through online, publicly accessible tournament management platforms, including tournamentsoftware.com or similar systems.

By submitting the registration form, participants acknowledge that their personal data will be processed by Queer Badminton Amsterdam (QBA) for purposes necessary to organise and conduct the tournament, in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

Disclaimer

The Tournament Committee reserves the right to make changes to the tournament schedule, combine or divide classification levels, and reclassify individual players or teams when necessary to ensure a fair and balanced competition.

The Committee also reserves the right to disqualify participants who deliberately provide inaccurate information about their playing level or tournament history.

By submitting the registration form, participants confirm that they have read the sandbagging policy and level guides, and agree to comply with the tournament’s fairness rules.
