BWF MEMORANDUM NEW EXPERIMENTAL LAWS ON SCORING SYSTEM 13 April 2016 BWF tested experimental scoring systems in two separate periods from August to October 2014, and from February to April 2015 with this last trial period including the testing of two different setting options. Match data and stakeholder feedback was collected from both testing periods, analyzed, and considered by BWF Council. At its meeting in May 2015, BWF Council agreed to a third period of testing from September 2016 through to 31 December 2017. Analysis from tournaments played to September 2017 will be considered by Council at its meeting in October/November 2017 and further analysis from tournaments played October to December 2017 will be considered in the analysis provided to the AGM in May 2018. A proposal could be presented to the membership at the Annual General Meeting in May 2018. BWF would like to invite all Level 3 BWF Grand Prix, all BWF Level 4, and all international sanctioned junior tournaments taking place between September 2016 and 31 December 2017, to test options for a new scoring system played with “best of five games of 11 points” with one of the following formats for setting: 1. Setting to a maximum of 15 points; or 2. A three-point decider if the score reaches 10-all. There will only be a one-minute break between games. Setting Option 1 – At 10-all, the player/pair wins the game when a two point lead is achieved, or first to 15 when the score reaches 14-all. Setting Option 2 – At 10-all, a 3 points challenge will be played where the first player/pair to score three points wins the game. The score for that game would be displayed as 11-10 (3-2), 11-10 (3-1), or 11-10 (3-0). Please note the two variations to the experimental Laws of Badminton as presented on the following page: NOTE: The experimental laws stated below are only those sections that are different than the current laws as per the respective sections of the Handbook II, Section 1A – Laws of Badminton. Please refer to the current laws section for all other scoring details.

BWF will provide detailed information to you on the data, statistics, and feedback we require. We are working with our tournament software provider on the required functionality to allow hosts to use either setting option. Please feel free to undertake testing at your domestic events and leagues and we welcome information from athletes, spectators, technical officials and other partners involved in those events. However, if you are a Member Association hosting a BWF sanctioned international tournament at Level 3 Grand Prix, Level 4, or a BWF sanctioned junior international tournament on the attached list, or anticipate receiving sanction in 2017 for your tournament (not listed), we need your support to test one of the two new scoring system options for your forthcoming tournament. BWF will send templates detailing the information we would like to receive from your testing of the experimental scoring system, and so that we can get consistent feedback from hosts and Member Associations. Action If you are hosting one of the tournaments on the following pages, please confirm if you intend to adopt the experimental scoring system for your tournament, and if so, indicate which of the two options you would like to test. Please reply to BWF Technical Events Manager, Chris Trenholme at: [email protected], by 30 June 2016. If you are undertaking tests in domestic tournaments and leagues please provide full details of the event, including when and where it will take place. Conclusion We urge you to support this third vital testing period to enable BWF to fully analyze the impact of the new experimental scoring system. We look forward to hearing from you.

This article aims to describe the urgency of critical studies concerning the regulation of foreign workers by exploring existing legal problems with national commitments to ratify international agreements regarding free trade, with a case study in Indonesia. By using normative and juridical approach with a variety of approaches both the law approach, conceptual approach, case approach and comparative approach, the study found that the regulation there is an inconsistency clause regarding special competencies that must be owned by foreign workers, including the selection and use of terminology in Act No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. Thus, this study offers a constitutional solution due to the regulation of the subordinate foreign workers on international trade commitments which in turn negate the constitutional goals of creating the welfare of domestic workers. The normative consequences that immediately bind Indonesia after integrating itself in the World Trade Organization (WTO) membership are services trade agreements that are contained in the regulations of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).

    The Impact of England's Second Lockdown on UK Visa Applications

    The impact of England's second lockdown on UK visa applications 11 NOVEMBER 2020 Tracy Evlogidis PARTNER | UK CATEGORY: ARTICLE In reaction to the stark rise in coronavirus cases, England entered into a second national lockdown on 5 November 2020. In contrast with the onset of the pandemic in March of this year, UK Visas & Immigration now have the facilities in place to enable their services to continue running. We have extracted the pertinent information from Home Ofce guidance, and listed below the current status of UK visa application centres (‘VACs’) both in and outside of the UK. In summary, overseas UK VACs will remain open, however this is very much dependent on local country restrictions. In the UK, the Home Ofce is still accepting and processing in-country visa applications. UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (‘UKVCAS’) Service Points, Service and Support Centres (‘SSCs’), and English Language Test centres are classed as providing an “essential service” and thus remain open, with exceptions. The ‘ne print’ Applications made within the UK: Individuals in the UK with leave that expires after 31 October 2020 are permitted, under current coronavirus concessions, to submit a visa application from within the UK where that visa application would normally require submission from their home country. If switching into a work or study visa category, applicants may be able to start working or studying before a decision is made on their application, if specic criteria are satised. Those applicants who made an appointment to attend a UKVCAS Service Point which remains closed will be contacted when the Service Point re- opens to make a new appointment, and their UK immigration status will not change as a result of being prevented from attending their appointment.

  • History of Badminton

    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.
