Dear all,

Finally the time has come: the 16th edition of the International Student Badminton Tournament Utrecht is just around the corner! And as usual, we have a lot in store for you. From March 24 to 26, you can impress your fellow students with your badminton skills during the many matches that will be played. Throughout the event we will make sure you fill your empty stomachs with some well-deserved food and on Saturday night you get the opportunity to show your best moves on the dancefloor at the themed party. This year’s theme will be masquerade, so make sure to bring your most fancy outfit and a glamourous eye mask and come find out who you might impress! 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

ISBT Utrecht 2023 starts on Friday the 24th and lasts until Sunday the 26th 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 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 €55,-. However, the early birds that sign up and pay before the 1st of February only have to pay €50,-! If you’re a bit late and still want to buy a ticket after the 17th of March, you have to pay €60,-. 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).

Sponsors

We are happy to announce that this year's tournament is sponsored by Badmintongear.nl. So if you still need new shoes, rackets or anything else badminton-related you can go to their website and find these last missing pieces for an amazing tournament.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email us at isbt@sbhelios.nl and don’t forget to follow us on Instagram (@isbt_utrecht).

We are looking forward to seeing you all!

Lots of love,

The ISBT-committee 2023
