Badminton Alberta is pleased to provide you with a copy of the Badminton Alberta 2019-20 Tournament Calendar. Please note that this may be subject to change. Advance notice will be published on this website should a change in date or location be required.

We are very excited to introduce a new style in our tournament offerings. This year, we are test-running the “A” (Open) Division in conjunction with a new “B” Division.

Both Divisions will be run at the same venue and weekend (The Derrick Golf and Winter Club on Dec. 6-8, 2019). We see this as a great opportunity to bring our player bases closer together while they all compete under the same roof.

We encourage you all to come out for a great weekend!
