So last week my country was the host of the Carebaco tournament and as a former badminton player this was an opportunity I couldn't miss. Initially I went to support my country and former club but watching them play, made me want to start playing again. Having never lost the love of the game, I might make a "comeback".
Below I have a short summary of what the tournament is about, thanks to our trusty friend Wikipedia
And as last i have a few "good" photos, I shot during the games.
The Carebaco International is an international badminton tournament of the "Caribbean Regional Badminton Confederation" (Carebaco). Until 1999 the tournament was a closed event eligible only for Carebaco members, but to gain BWF World Ranking points since 1999 the Carebaco International tournament became a level 4 open individual event, now part of the BWF Future Series.
The tournament established since 1972, when four countries in the Caribbean Region with the fanatical badminton enthusiasts started an annual competition among themselves. These countries were Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname and Guyana. As the years progressed the membership of Carebaco increased to include Aruba, Barbados, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Martinique.
The Carebaco International is held annually and is part of the Carebaco Games.
