My pet hate is playing matches in 1-court village halls. I've played against beamed ceilings, low hanging lights along tramlines, slippery floors, freezing conditions and limited rear court space. Fortunately not all at the same venue!

I know one: brand new hall (couple of years). 12 courts, excellent floor (however on some parts a lot of lines for other sports), rather poor lighting, plenty of space between the courts, high ceiling. So what's the problem ? The indoor is painted entirely white. And I mean … white ! Try to follow a white shuttle through the air, it's on your part of the court before you even see it, especially playing on courts close to the walls. The local club complained to the city council, but they don't want to repaint the hall. What a bummer, the council could have consult the national body to know the do's and don'ts for all of the sports the hall offers, before construction.
I know a few more where the city council doesn't consult anybody on beforehand. They just check what sports the hall needs to offer, order the construction, and then afterwards…, you know.

Cheers, ED
