It is a busy time at Badminton Scotland, with the launch of its nascent National Badminton League this weekend ahead of next month’s Scottish Open.

While the latter has been running since 1907, the NBL will be a pilot season for the national governing body.

At the start of the year, Badminton Scotland sent out a missive to members to gauge the mood. It proved a positive response.

While the original idea was to start with three different leagues (Gold, Silver and Bronze) with six teams, the NBL will start life this weekend at the Sir Craig Reedie Badminton Centre with two leagues of five and one of eight.
