  • Players ‘ageing up’ will take 30% of their age group points by event for ranking purposes
  • U11 players do not earn national ranking points so there will be a separate development program.  More information to be provided later.

Senior (Open) Ranking and Seeding

  • A player's BC Ranking will be based on points accumulated from the player's three best results in a specific event at any of the BC Senior (Open) Series tournaments or the BC Provincial Championships held .

  • The Badminton BC ranking list will be used to determine

  • For Doubles and Mixed Doubles the best three results of both players will be added together.

  • If players/pairs are within 300 points of each other, the seeding may be altered if the player/pair with fewer points has beaten or progressed further in a draw than the higher ranked player/pair in recent events.

  • In the event a very strong player from out of country/province plays in the BC Series tournaments, the seeding will be determined based on the best available results data.

The following table outlines the points for each Senior (Open) Tournament Category:
