Juniors to join badminton circuit

SEMARANG (JP): National junior shuttlers training at the Indonesian Badminton Center in Cipayung, East Jakarta, will compete in the Sinar Mutiara national badminton circuit B zone in Tegal, about 165 kilometers east of here, from Sept. 26 to Sept. 30.

"They will compete with shuttlers from the provincial chapters of the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI) to decide who will join the center in the promotion/relegation system," PBSI Central Java chapter secretary-general Toegimin said on Saturday.

Junior shuttlers must compete in four national circuits -- the Jakarta Open, SGS Open, the national badminton circuit and Surabaya Open -- to be admitted in the center.

"Those who win in all four tournaments will automatically be given places in the center," he said. (har)
