We are a pioneering organisation that consists of a range of badminton enthusiasts, including: players; tournament organisers; club leaders; and promoters of badminton. We meet biannually to review the players’ listings which categorises all the players to the level most suited to their ability and skill. Players are measured against a range of criteria such as tournament performances, league performances, general ability, but most weight is given to tournament wins.
Initially we produced a players category list which only included only Bangladeshi players. However, because of its popularity we have expanded to include players of all backgrounds which means we are inclusive and more comprehensive.
The concept of the list was borne from issues surrounding players coming to tournaments and playing matches against others who were of significantly higher or lower ability. Thereby matches became unfairly weighted in the favour of the same players each time. This was not a fair approach to allow others to compete against players of a similar ability and provide them with an equal opportunity to win.
