RESULT!

Hugo ended the Badminton season graded Silver. He started the year wanting to get Silver and achieved it early on. The new target became Gold. Unfortunately due to an admin error by the powers that be, he wasn't able to enter any Gold rated tournaments.

Next season he goes into the next age group and will be playing boys two years older than himself. Also he would start as a Bronze player and have to start climbing the ladder all over again! It's a hard life. The plan - this year try to become Silver and next year aim for Gold.

Until, that is, he receives the final end of season ranking. He has been ranked as a Silver player for next year!

He has to re-think his strategy. His doubles partner isn't able to play in the same tournaments. He may as well go for Gold straight away. Decisions, decisions.

What the heck, he is a very happy bunny, his coach is delighted and were very proud of him.

Go for it boy.
