FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Players may request to change the club listed in their Tournament Software profile by emailing Sierra Hum at sierra.hum@badmintonontario.ca Please note that frequent requests for club changes throughout the season for any individual may result in having to pay a $25 administrative fee per request to Badminton Ontario.
If at any point during the season you wish to upgrade your membership from a General Membership to a competitive membership OR from one competitive membership to another (e.g. Provincial Silver to Provincial Gold), please contact Sierra Hum at sierra.hum@badmintonontario.ca You will not be charged for both memberships, but will simply pay the difference in membership fees between categories.
Recreational or drop-in players from Badminton Ontario affiliated clubs who play and participate at the local level (within their own clubs/teams/programs and districts), but who otherwise do not participate in Badminton Ontario tournaments and events, are considered to be Affiliate Members and are not required to be BON General Members.
However, players from non-Badminton Ontario affiliated clubs must be BON General Members for the season in order to take advantage of our member benefits and access BON programs, services, and events.
Players wishing to compete nationally and provincially must only purchase the BON National membership. The BON National membership allows players to compete in BCAN events and BON provincial events (Junior A, B, C) as well.
All BON competitive memberships (e.g. Provincial Silver, Provincial Gold, and BON National) all include the $15 BON General Membership, so players who also fit into other roles in the sport (e.g. coach, official, administrator) can simply purchase a competitive membership. All competitive members are general members by default.
Masters players wishing to compete in the BON Masters Provincial Championships must simply be BON General Members for the season. Masters players wishing to compete in Badminton Canada’s Canadian Masters Championships must be BON National members. The BON National membership will also allow Masters players to compete in our Provincial Championships.
Firstly, make sure you have selected in the appropriate Zone/District.
If your home club is not appearing in the clubs drop-down menu, it means the club is not Badminton Ontario affiliated for the season. You must therefore select the ‘District -Independent’ option and compete as an Independent athlete. Athletes may only represent their clubs in tournaments if the club is Badminton Ontario affiliated.
