The event saw children and adults competing side by side on the same court taking on their opponents on the other side of the court. Children had a chance to partner their parents and take on their opponents. The tournament featured the husband-wife pair competing together for the coveted trophy and prize money. The other categories, in which the players competed, included father-son, father-daughter, sister-sister, brother-brother and brother-sister. NVBS head coach Manoj Sahbjan said the tournament was a great opportunity for the families to take the family bonding to another level by participating in badminton. "We conducted this tournament, not only for the spirit of the game and fun, but also with a lot of positive motives and concept," said Manoj, who is the former Qatar national team coach. "By playing together with a family member, for example husband and wife, brother and sister, father and child , mother and child, brother and brother , sister and sister, cousin and cousin etc..., gave an entirely different experience. It increases their bonding as well as it as a lifelong memorable moment for them," he said. "NVBS is promoting Badminton not only for the professional badminton players or the people, who are trained under them to play, but also we are promoting the game for all the people who love badminton and we are creating a grand platform for each and every person who love to play badminton.
