1The organisers
The Levaron × CBC Brisbane Badminton Team Championships 2026 is run by Levaron Group and CBC Plumbing & Gas ("we", "us"). It is on Saturday 14 November 2026, 8am to 4pm, at Vision Badminton Centre, 37A Turbo Drive, Coorparoo QLD 4151.
By registering a team, every player in it agrees to these terms. The team captain confirms that each player has read them.
2Who can enter
Every team is exactly 4 players: 2 women and 2 men, with no reserves. A player can play for one team only.
| Division | Places | Grade limit per team |
|---|
| Open & A | 8 teams | At most 1 Open-grade player |
| B & C | 16 teams | At most 2 B-grade players, and no one graded higher than B |
| Under 17 | 8 teams | At most 2 C-grade players, and no one graded higher than C. Every player must be under 17 on 14 November 2026 |
- A player's grade is their QBA grading on 14 November 2026.
- A player whose grade or age isn't accurate may be disqualified, and we may forfeit the matches they played.
- Players without a QBA grading enter the grade they play at, and if they're between two grades, the higher one. Entering too low a grade risks disqualification: if a player is clearly playing above the grade entered, we may disqualify their team, with no refund.
3Registering, fees and refunds
A team's place is confirmed once we receive its entry fee, and we email the captain to say so. Places in each division go in the order registrations are confirmed.
- The captain registers the team through the form on the CBC Plumbing & Gas website.
- To change a registration after it's sent (a player, a grade or contact details), the captain replies to the registration email or calls us on 0431 999 500.
- Entry fee: $120 per team, the same for every division and grade. The team captain pays it for the whole team by bank transfer. We email the bank details after the registration form is sent, with these terms for every player to sign (for an Under 17 player, a parent or guardian signs); the captain sends them back signed by email.
- When a division is full, teams can join its waitlist. If a place opens, we may offer it to a team on the waitlist.
- If we cancel the competition, we refund every entry fee in full.
- A team or player disqualified under these terms doesn't get a refund.
4Format and play
Each match is four doubles games on one running score, and the first team to 60 wins: women's doubles plays to 15, mixed doubles to 30, men's doubles to 45, then mixed doubles to 60.
- Each player plays at most 2 games a match. With 4 players, that means both women play the women's doubles, both men play the men's doubles, and the two mixed doubles pairs are different.
- The last game of every match (the mixed doubles from 45 to 60): in Open & A, the Open-grade player can't play it; in B & C, two B-grade players can't play it together; in Under 17, two C-grade players can't play it together.
- Teams can change their pairs from one match to the next, as long as each line-up follows these rules. The umpire confirms each team's line-up before the match, and checks with an organiser if they're not sure.
- Each division plays group stages, then knockout rounds to a final.
- Group stage rankings: matches won, then points difference (points scored minus points conceded across the group's matches).

- Times are a guide and may move on the day.
- A team that isn't ready to play 15 minutes after being called may forfeit that match.
- The BWF Laws of Badminton apply, except where these terms say otherwise. Each match has an umpire appointed by the organisers.
- We provide Li-Ning shuttles for every match.
- Our decision on any dispute is final.
5Conduct
Players play fairly and treat other players, officials, spectators and venue staff with respect. We may disqualify a player or team, with no refund, for:
- an inaccurate grade or age;
- abusive, aggressive or unsafe behaviour;
- playing under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
- breaking Vision Badminton Centre's rules.
Players must wear badminton court shoes with non-marking soles.
6Under 17 players
Players in the Under 17 division must be under 17 on 14 November 2026, so a player who has turned 17 by then can't play in it.
- Parents or guardians are responsible for their under-17 players for the whole day, including supervision, travel and health.
- A parent or guardian agrees to their child playing, signs these terms for them, and gives their name, email and mobile in the registration form.
7Prizes and the raffle draw
We present the prizes at 3pm on the day.
| Division | Champion | Runner-up |
|---|
| Open & A | $1,000 | $800 |
| B & C | $800 | $400 |

- Cash prizes are given on the day, at the prize presentation.
- Prizes can't be swapped or exchanged for cash.
- Prize pool: $4,500 in total, counting the Under 17 prizes and the raffle racket at their value.
- Raffle draw (optional, open to everyone): one Yonex 100ZZ racket (4U), drawn at the presentation. To get a ticket: share CBC Plumbing & Gas's Instagram post about the championships (its second image shows the sponsors) on any social media, follow each sponsor's Instagram page, send a screenshot of the share to @cbcplumbingandgas by Instagram message before the draw, and show that message at the sign-in desk on the day to collect the ticket. One ticket per person, and there are no extra tickets. The winner must be there when it's drawn; if they aren't, we draw again.
- No social media platform (Instagram, Facebook, WeChat or any other) sponsors, endorses or runs the raffle draw or is associated with it; everyone who enters releases them from any claim about it.
8Photos and players' details
We use players' details to run the competition and for marketing, and we share them with the sponsors: CBC Plumbing & Gas, Levaron Group, RallyX, Times Property and Gem Sports. Registering a team means agreeing to this section for every player in it.
- The form collects the team's name; each player's name, gender, grade, email and mobile (for an Under 17 player, a parent or guardian's name, email and mobile instead); and the captain's email and mobile (in Under 17, a parent or guardian's).
- Team names are shown publicly on the registration page and on the day.
- We take photos and video on the day, and may share them online and use them in our marketing. For under-17 players, the captain confirms that a parent or guardian agrees.
- Every marketing message will have a way to unsubscribe.
- To see or correct your details, or to stop marketing, email admin@cbcplumbingandgas.com.au.
9Health, safety and liability
Badminton is a physical sport, and players take part at their own risk. Play only if you are fit and well.
- As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for injury, or for loss of or damage to belongings. Nothing in these terms excludes rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
- Players look after their own belongings.
- There's no first aid on site. This is a not-for-profit event: players are responsible for their own injuries and their own insurance, and we don't provide insurance for players.
- Park in Vision Badminton Centre's own parking, not the Brisbane Indoor Sports Centre car park next door.
10Changes, cancellation and contact
We may change the schedule, format or divisions if the day needs it, and we'll tell captains by email or at sign-in.
- If a division doesn't get enough teams, we may merge it with another or cancel it and refund its teams.
- If we cancel the whole competition, we refund every entry fee (section 3).
- Questions: CBC Plumbing & Gas, 0431 999 500, admin@cbcplumbingandgas.com.au.
