Question

Enlist any five International Badminton tournaments.

State the various International tournaments of Badminton.

Answer 1

The five international badminton tournaments are:

1. The BWF World Championships (previously the IBF World Championships, also known as the World Badminton Championships) is a badminton tournament sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The tournament, along with the Summer Olympics badminton tournaments, provides the highest ranking points.
2. The BWF World Junior Championships (also known as the World Junior Badminton Championships) is a tournament organised by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) to crown the world's best junior badminton players (under-19). The championship is contested annually and consists of two competitions: a mixed team championship (Suhandinata Cup) and an individual championship (Eye Level Cups).
3. The Uber Cup, also known as the World Team Championships for Women, is a major international badminton competition between women's national badminton teams. It was first held in 1956 – 1957 and fought every three years until 1984, when it was moved to every two years.
4. The Thomas Cup, also known as the World Men's Team Championships, is an international badminton competition for teams representing member nations of the Badminton World Federation (BWF), the sport's global governing body. Since the 1982 tournament, the championships have been held every two years, rather than every three years since the first tournament in 1948 – 1949.
5. The BWF World Senior Championships is a badminton tournament sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation. The winners will be crowned as "World Senior Champions" and receive gold medals. It does not, however, give any cash money. The tournament began in 2003 and is now held biennially.
