A huge honour and a privilege to have been elected Chairman of BBFUK. When I first came onto the tournament scene (many many years ago) there was no structure or a mechanism in place for passionate and enthusiastic badminton players like myself to enter competitions on a level playing field and play against similar ability players.

Our community has grown exponentially since then and so have our mechanisms and networks to verify and accommodate players entering tournaments all over the country.

The one thing that has not changed is our commitment to promoting fair play, inclusivity and diversity. There are more players being listed now then ever before, there are more tournaments now then ever before and my vision is to see a unified listing method that will accurately and almost scientifically capture players objectively in their correct categories.
