ADVISORY COMMITTEE CONSENT ITEMS October 16, 2013, Board Meeting GIRLS BADMINTON 1. Revise VIII. Tournament Rules F. Competitor Apparel 1. Recommendation: It is required that doubles partners wear uniform tops and bottoms of like color. Rationale: The Committee felt that teammates should match, not one wear green and the other orange.

Tournament Assignments and Seeding Meetings G. Sectional Dates Recommendation: The sectional tournament can be played on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday (May 8, 9, or 10, 2014). If played on Thursday or Friday play cannot begin prior to 4:00 pm if played on Saturday, play must being no later than 10:00 am.
