In accordance with its stated commitment to the further development of Badminton in the Mediterranean region, COMEBA has entrusted the Cyprus Badminton Federation (CBF) to organise the two captioned events consecutively from the 1st to the 5th September 2019 inclusive.
These are the salient features:
- The two events are specifically intended to target junior players born in 2001 and later, as well as their coaches. Kindly note that a maximum number of 42 participants can take part.
- The participants are to arrive in Cyprus on the 31st of August and to depart on the 5th of September 2019 in the afternoon / evening. In order to enhance such participation, the CBF will be offering all participants free accommodation on full board basis for five nights; each contingent, from a COMEBA Member Association / Federation, is to be made up of a maximum of six persons: two male players + two female players + one coach + one team manager.
- Any additional day(s) / night(s) accommodation would be at each participant’s expense. The cost would amount to €65 (per night) for a Single Room and €100 (per night) for a Double Room. The overall amount would be payable in cash to a CBF representative on arrival.
- The “Mediterranean Cup” will consist of both an Individual as well as a Team tournament.
- It will feature all five categories (Singles and Doubles); during its first round, matches will be played in Groups in Singles and not on a Knock-Out basis. Doubles will be on a Knock-out basis from the preliminary rounds.
- Each fixture in the Team competition will consist of five games: MS-WS-MD-WD-MXD; the competition will similarly be played in Groups during its initial stage.
- The identity of the coach(es) appointed to conduct the Training Camp (in English) will be notified by the CBF as early as reasonably possible before the start of the event. Participating coaches will be expected to assist in the training sessions during the camp.
- The CBF will provide all internal transport arrangements, including airport transfers from Larnaca and Paphos airports, at no cost.
- First aid medical services will be provided for the entire duration of the two events.
- The CBF will provide all the necessary assistance for any visa requirements of prospective participants to enter Cyprus.
- Trophies will be awarded to the winners; mementos will be given to all participants
- Live streaming of both events will be available on the CBF website.
