The opening rounds of women's and men's singles, women's, men's and mixed doubles were completed today at Mount Royal College, Calgary Alberta. This national level event will determine which players will represent Canada at the 1997 World Badminton Championships in May in Glasgow, Scotland. Those top four then proceed on to a sudden death event that will establish the 1 through 4 ranking of the athletes. Winners of the trial events are guaranteed a spot on the World Championships team. National coach Billy Gilliland along with a Badminton Canada High Performance Committee is responsible for naming the rest of the team after the winners of the trials have been determined.
Admission is free, and all are welcome.
