One loop: play, save, fund the future.
Every match played, humidifier bought, and off-peak court booked earns points — and every point comes back as gear, tournament travel, or a scholarship for the next generation of athletes.
Points come in three ways.
Every match in the HmBr Match Challenge — organized on HmBr Open — earns points, weighted by performance via our open PERA rating system. Dominant wins and underdog upsets earn more than expected outcomes.
Every purchase earns points. The humidifier extends feather shuttle life in training by 3–9× and cuts equipment cost by 67–89% — the savings flow back to you as points.
Reserve off-peak courts on 24by7access. Quiet hours earn more than peak — filling a dead slot is worth more to everyone.
What a point becomes.
One balance, three ways to spend it — the same three paths the impact program is built on.
Premium gear from brands the badminton world already trusts — racquets, shoes, strings, stringing services, and HmBr's own products — redeemed at store.hmbrsports.com.
Flights and hotel nights toward tournament travel — often a junior's largest line item. Earned points offset airfare or hotel at sanctioned events, lowering the price of competing.
Points can be directed to the HmBr Badminton Scholarship Fund, hosted on Bold.org's 501(c)(3) infrastructure — sport-generated value, converted directly into educational access.
No fine print games.
The whole rulebook, in plain language.
100 points = $0.25 in redemption value.
Points fund up to half (50%) of any single transaction — the rest keeps you invested in the gear you're buying.
Balances expire after 12 months of inactivity, so the program rewards players who keep playing.
Off-peak court bookings earn more points than peak — filling a quiet slot is worth more to everyone.
Verified matches at booked courts carry more PERA weight than casual scores, and dominant wins or underdog upsets earn more than expected outcomes.
One loop, across the HmBr family.
Racquets, shoes, strings, stringing, and the humidifier itself.
Tournaments where matches earn PERA-weighted points.
Reserve courts 24/7 — quiet hours earn more.
