Spinabad is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
We have been waiting for it since 2020 and it will finally be celebrated on this 20th anniversary of Spinabad. The badminton tournament in the city of Épinal will take place on June 18 and 19 at the Saint-Exupéry Gymnasium and on the nearby indoor tennis courts. A tournament that should welcome many participants for singles and doubles tournaments.
For once, the Spinabad 2022 will not take place at the Halle des Sports in Épinal but at the Gymnase Saint-Exupéry, due to a ban on access to the usual site, which suffered the fall of a beam, a few weeks ago.
A new complication which gave concern to the organizers of Spinabd, who had already been waiting for 2 years to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their famous international badminton tournament and who thought they had to give it up again this year. Finally, the municipality authorized the exceptional relocation of the tournament to the Saint-Exupéry Gymnasium and to the annexed indoor tennis courts.
The badminton club of Épinal (CBE) will therefore organize the 20e edition of its Spinabad, its unmissable major tournament in the Grand-Est, which will once again bring together some of the best French people, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 June.
The competition will be organized on about fifteen fields, with nearly 400 players, from departmental, regional and national level and from the North-East quarter, as well as from Hauts-de-France, the Paris region and Bourgogne-Franche- County, to which must be added a few cross-border workers (Luxembourg).
Competitors will play nearly 600 matches throughout the weekend. They will face each other first in group matches and the best will qualify for the quarter-finals. The singles tournaments will kick off the weekend before the doubles on Sunday.
The categories concerned are: N1/N2 series; N3/R4; R5/R6; D7/D8; D9/P, youngest, minimal.
Note that badminton will be celebrated in the Vosges the following week, since from June 20 to 26, Badminton Week will be offered with various activities and the possibility of discovering the discipline in the Vosges clubs. Exceptional open house at the Spinalien club, Wednesday June 22, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., in the Gymnase Clémenceau d’Épinal.
