Masters Tournament Cancellation
It is with regret that we have made the difficult decision to cancel our first Masters Tournament.
Unfortunately, the number of entries received has not been sufficient to make the event financially viable. To provide the quality tournament experience we aim for, including enough matches for all players, we generally require around 75 entries.
We do feel that part of this was due to our advertising timeline. As tournament organisers, we work hard to avoid clashes with other events across the West of Scotland, and we also avoid advertising during the promotion periods of other Masters tournaments. Unfortunately, we were unaware that another Masters event was taking place during the time slot we had available for advertising, which significantly limited our ability to promote the tournament.
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who entered and supported the event. We appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to try something a little different.
Over the coming days, we will be contacting all entrants to offer either a full refund or the option to transfer their entry fee to one of our future tournaments during the season.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of badminton in Ayrshire.
