A badminton tournament will pit businesses against each other.
The Badminton Association Business Badminton Tournament, sponsored by EY, takes place at the National Sports Centre (NSC) on Saturday 17th September, 12 noon to 6pm.
Entering a team costs ?50 and the winning team will receive a prize.
Teams must comprise a minimum of two men and two women, but can be bigger.
Entries are open until Wednesday 7th September.
The format of the tournament will depend on the number of teams participating. It will either be played on a round robin basis or in two groups.
It’s the third year the tournament has been held.
Joshua Green, part-time Badminton Development Officer with Manx Sports and Recreation, said: ‘The tournament will build on the success of last year’s event, won by a team from Old Mutual International.
‘It ties in with the Strategy for Sport 2014-2024, which aims to encourage more people to take part in sport.
‘For businesses, it also provides a great team-building opportunity and plenty of fun.’
Joshua said those bitten by the badminton bug as a result of the tournament could continue to play at No Strings sessions held at the NSC on Tuesday evenings.
