We have just received confirmation from APBF that there will be a Supermixed Team category, which is a completely new category, in the coming Asia Cup 2018, which will be held in India from 4-10 Jun 2018. As it is totally out of the Council's expectation on planning, after Council meeting on 27 Feb 2018, we have decided to open up the registration for the members who are interested to play in this event. All interested players should pay attention to the followings:
1) Supermixed Team requires one women pair playing against one men pair in every match with the same sitting arrangements at other's table. Hence, the team must have 6 players, in which it may be consisted of 1 women pair + 2 men pairs, OR 2 women pairs + 1 men pair, OR 3 women players and 3 men players
2) All players are required to be HKCBA members in the last 2 years and the similar requirements as in other categories.
3) Due to the limited time, Trial Points system will be used in selection if there are more than one entry.
4) The participation in this Asia Cup Supermixed Team will not affect the Council's plan on the arrangements of sending Supermixed Team to the Asian Games in August.
All registrations, with 6 players' name, should be sent to hkcbaadm@hkcba.org on or before 15 March (Thursday). The Council will reserve the final decision and appointment.
