  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

  • Times Are A-Changin'
    TALES COC THE NEWSLETTER OF BWF TECHNICAL OFFICIALS APRIL 2018 EDITION NO. 19 TIMES ARE A-CHANGIN’ By Torsten Berg Chair - BWF Referee Assessment Panel In 1963, we sang with Bob Dylan that “... you better start swimmin’, or you’ll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin’...” – and that’s still true today! The BWF Council has put forward rather radical proposals for changes to the Laws of Badminton which would change the scoring system, some of the service laws, and the law covering coaching in intervals, to the Annual General Meeting on 19 May, 2018. We, the technical officials, better start swimming to keep up with these changes, should they be approved, as they will considerably change the sport and how we do our job. We shall soon thereafter be ready with consequential amendments to the ITTO and possibly other BWF Statutes also, and we shall be ready to put the changes into practice on court. The purpose of the proposals seems to be to speed up the sport, shorten the length of matches, and improve the presentation, in particular, at the highest levels. Remember, a Law proposal, even coming from the BWF Council, is not in force until it is approved by the membership at the AGM. Remember too, that often these types of decisions may contain a date of implementation, so that the necessary consequential technical changes can be actioned. Several experienced TOs have lately asked if the proposed changes are already in force. The answer is no – only the AGM can change the Laws.

  • POINTS to PONDER by Torsten Berg Chair - BWF Referee Assessment Panel
    TALES COC THE NEWSLETTER OF BWF TECHNICAL OFFICIALS OCTOBER 2018 EDITION NO. 21 POINTS TO PONDER By Torsten Berg Chair - BWF Referee Assessment Panel The Women’s Singles final of the 2018 US Open Tennis Championships between Serena Williams (USA) and Naomi Osaka (Japan) hit more headlines worldwide than expected due to an incident between the umpire and Williams. From a Technical Official’s point of view it might be interesting to analyse how tennis, a racket sport somewhat similar to badminton, dealt with an incident that is a possibility in our sport. Is an exchange of ideas possible? In brief, the home darling Serena Williams played not quite up to standard and lost the first set to the young Japanese underdog. Struggling to come back early in the second set, Williams’ coach gave her advice from the stands, which is not allowed in tennis at this level of tournament, and the player got a warning. Williams got upset, claiming that she had not heard him and that she never cheated. Soon after, she smashed her racket into the ground in frustration, earning her a lost point for racket abuse. Called to the chair, Williams, in a lengthy discussion, lost her temper and called the umpire a thief, among other abuse, and the umpire punished her again, now by a lost game for verbal abuse, in accordance with the regulations. Only then did the Tournament Referee come to the court. However, the decisions of the umpire were upheld. Soon after, Osaka won the match. Subsequently, Williams was fined US $ 17,000 for the offence -- a large sum per se, but a minor sum compared to the prize money.
