BWF Rules and Regulations (Article 7.2)

7.2 Players/pairs can only win points for their one best result in a 52-week period in any of theabove team Championships.

As in 2023-24 season, only one of Sudirman Cup 2023 and Badminton Asia Team Championships 2024 will get counted, whichever is the highest.

7.2.1 If a player/pair win a match, they get their average (calculation of average is shownbelow) plus the sum of the total ranking points of their opponent(s) divided by 100.

If Lakshya Sen has 55691 points, he’ll get 5569 points along with, 1% of the highest ranked opponent he defeated points which is Lu Guang Zu from where he’ll get 571 points.

7.2.2 If a player/pair lose a match, they get their average (see calculation below).

So, in that case the player or pair gets their points/10.

7.2.3 If a player/pair win a match but do not have a World Ranking, then they win one point, plus the sum of the total ranking points of their opponent(s) divided by 100.

So, the player gets 1 + highest ranked opponent points/100.

7.2.4 If a player/pair lose a match and do not have a World Ranking, then they win no points.

So, if one doesn’t have ranking points and if the player/pair loses then they gain no points.

7.2.5 If a player/pair win a match, but they do not have a World Ranking and theiropponent(s) do not have a World Ranking, then they get two points.

So, if both pairs don’t have a World Ranking, the winner of that particular match will get 2 points (1+1).
