How to become a NYU Badminton Team Player?
12 individuals, ideally 6 males and 6 females will be selected to compete as part of the NYU extramural team. To represent the NYU Badminton Team in intercollegiate tournaments, one must first be a club member and a fulltime graduate or undergraduate student. Tryouts are based on a ladder system. The ladder order for each category (MS, MD, WS, WD, and MD) will be determined at the beginning of the semester (Setember 16 and 21 for the fall 07 semester). Players may place themselves on ladders they wish to compete in. Players may move up and down the ladder by arranging a challenge with the player immediately above them. When a tournament is scheduled, the team will generally take the highest-ranked players who are available for the meet. Challenges can be made throughout the year, but no challenges can be made within the week before a tournament. Challenges must be reported to the coach and team captains. The ladder will be updated monthly on the club webpage. The NYU Badminton Team competes on an annual basis in the Northeast Intercollegiate Badminton League of the Southwest division and also competes with local teams.
