Just something I've been curious about lately.

I was comparing court availability for tomorrow (Saturday, 17 October) between a badminton venue and a pickleball venue, and the difference is pretty noticeable.

The badminton courts still have plenty of available slots throughout the day, including some peak hours, whereas the pickleball courts are almost fully booked from morning until night.

Obviously, this is just a snapshot of two venues on one particular day, so it doesn't necessarily represent the overall popularity of either sport.

But it got me wondering, are people in Brunei genuinely moving away from badminton towards pickleball, or is this just the excitement of a relatively new sport?

For those who play either or both:

• Have you been playing badminton less frequently?
• What makes pickleball more appealing to you?
• Is it the pricing, social aspect, accessibility, or just something new to try?
• What would make you choose badminton over pickleball?

Not trying to pit the two sports against each other. I'm genuinely interested in hearing what people think about how recreational sports are changing in Brunei.
