St Cuthberts Badminton Club

St Cuthbert’s Badminton Club was formed on 11th October 1945 when the Rector called a meeting to see if something could be formulated to accommodate those too old for the junior organisations belonging to the church and it was resolved that a badminton club should be formed on Monday nights from 7:00pm till 10:00pm

We have clubnights weekly on a Monday from 7:00pm @ St. Cuthbert’s Parochial Church Hall, Off Botanic Road, Southport.

Southport and District Badminton League

2019/2020 season
Final League Tables
As everyone is aware the season was abruptly ended due to the Coronavirus Pandemic and the Officers took the decision that it was extremely unlikely that the season would be able to be re-started and concluded by completing all the outstanding fixtures.

Most teams within all divisions had almost completed all their fixtures with the majority, but not all, only having league week 18 to play.

The General Purposes (GP) Committee met this week to consider what would be the best method of determining a fair end position for each team in each Division.

The Committee agreed to use a method of adjusting season points totals using averages based on teams’ results thus far, translated into points, as though each team had played 18 matches (16 for Division 7). By applying this method would not require any assumptions/guesswork or even subjective opinions as to what results might occur in matches. This method also removed any need to refer to or consider any specific match(es) and its basis was on actual results of each team.

By employing this method enables an adjustment being made to teams’ existing points based on the following approach.
Establish an average of “events for (EF)” per match, for each team, by dividing the known EF by the number of matches played at the time the season was abruptly ended.

Whatever the average it is then translated into points i.e

Average of 4.50 and above 3 points awarded (Win)
Average of 4.00 to 4.49 2 points awarded (Winning Draw)
Average of 3.50 to 3.99 1 point awarded (Losing Draw)
Average less than 3.50 0 point awarded

Having established the points to be awarded (or none) as above then multiply these points by the number of matches not played by each team.
The results (see attached tables) then provide for an adjusted figure to be added (in Red) to the existing points shown for each team to provide final points total and league positions for each Division.

Shields and Watkinson Trophy Finals

With much uncertainty about when badminton may be able to resume it was decided that it would not be possible to play the above finals for the 2019/2020 season.

Because of the exceptional circumstances it was decided that for last season the finalists in the three Shields and the Watkinson Trophy would be regarded as joint winners.

It is customary for players of the wining team in the Watkinson to receive medals from the League. With there being shared winners for 2019/2020 season the League has decided that both teams will receive medals.

Finally, since there are many questions for which there are no answers at present, together with continuing doubt about how and when badminton might resume, the GP Committee did not take any decisions concerning the 2020/2021 season. Obviously, I will keep you informed of any developments and when decisions have been taken regarding next season.

In the meantime, please keep safe.

Best regards

Malcolm Banham
League Chairman
