ISBT Utrecht

Are you as excited as we are? It is almost time for the 17th edition of the International Student Badminton Tournament Utrecht!

As always, we have prepared a lot for you. This edition will take place from March 22 to 24 2024. You will be able to show your badminton skills on the court and meet new friends to share this experience with. Throughout the event we will make sure you fill your empty stomachs with some well-deserved food and on Saturday night you can show your best moves on the dancefloor at the themed party. This year’s theme will be 911- Emergency! Will you save cats out of trees and walk through fire? Will you catch criminals and eat a donut during your break? Or will you show your medical side by helping people that may have partied ’too’ hard? We are excited to see what you will come up with. Small tip: you might want to check out the Dutch song ‘Noodgeval’ by Goldband???? Please do keep in mind that your outfit should not contain any glitters, as you will be charged the costs of cleaning it up.

Planning

Every service we offer is built around you. With a keen understanding of your diverse needs, we provide solutions designed to transform and uplift. Embark on a journey of transformation and experience the difference with us today.ISBT Utrecht 2024 starts on Friday the 22th and lasts until Sunday the 24th of March. All matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday from 9.00 AM onwards. However, the registration already opens on Friday night, giving you the opportunity to meet your fellow contestants and to set up your sleeping place. It is also possible to register on Saturday morning between 8.00 AM and 8.30 AM if you are unable to join us on Friday night. Both on Saturday and Sunday we will provide you with breakfast and lunch. Dinner on Saturday night is taken care of as well, after which we will dance the night away at the theme party.

Location

The event takes place at sports centre Olympos at Uppsalalaan 3 in Utrecht. For dinner on Saturday night we made a reservation at a restaurant in the city centre of Utrecht. The theme party will also take place in the centre. We have arranged buses to get you from the sports centre to the city centre and back, but you can also go by bike (for those who have one). Both on Friday and Saturday you are welcome to sleep at Olympos. However, make sure to bring your own sleeping gear. Lastly, for an additional 6 or 8 euros, there is the possibility to join for dinner at Olympos on Sunday evening in order to bring the ISBT weekend to the best end!

Price

The price for this event is €65,-. However, the early birds that sign up and pay before the 1st of February only have to pay €60,-! If you’re a bit late and still want to buy a ticket after the 17th of March, you have to pay €70,-. Please note that these are prices for the date of payment, not the date of registration.

Where to sleep?

After a long day of playing and partying you can sleep in the sports centre on Friday- and Saturday night. Those of you who live nearby: feel free to sleep at home or join the (quiet) fun at Olympos (as long as you are at Olympos in time in the morning).
