John Johnston Memorial Tournament 2020
The second annual John Johnston Memorial Tournament was held Sunday 11th October at the Otago Badminton Centre, Victoria Rd.
This year saw 40 individual entries, including 1 very last-minute entry which required a phone call on Sunday to fill a gap. Once more, partners were drawn at random, mostly mixed, with handicaps ranging from scratch (or 0) to -15 applied. Pairs were then put into groups of 5 and the morning session started around 11:00am. With matches being first to 31, anyone with a handicap of -15 had to score 46 points before their opponents could score what they required. Perhaps only 31! This makes for some serious shot making whilst creating competitive games from what may otherwise be mis-matches.
When the initial round robin was completed, a break for lunch was greatly appreciated by all. Once more the Otago Juniors (and parents) put on a fabulous spread of food and they earned $247 for their efforts.
There was one minor injury during the day causing one player to withdraw after lunch. Two of the juniors shared the role and played for the affected player in the afternoon matches. These would decide the events winners. Split into boxes of 4 pairs, everyone played another 3 matches carrying through their handicaps. This year sees two new names on the trophy, with Michelle Terris & Dave Richards emerging victorious.
Both players this year hail from Dunedin, with Dave being a GI club member. Once again thanks to all competitors and helpers, especially the handicappers and tournament organisers. Looking forward next year.
