Changes to the General Competition Regulations

Outside of some adjustments made to the order and structure of the document or separation of information into other sections outside of the GCR, please make note of some key changes to the regulations which will take effect 1 January 2018:

• Revised definitions of some events and tournaments, including the structure for the new BWF World Tour (Regulation 2)
• Clarified rights and responsibilities of Participants in BWF Sanctioned Tournaments (Regulation 4)
• New terminology and regulations related to Player Jurisdiction and Entry in Tournaments, including Registration and Deregistration for Entry (Regulation 5)
• More flexibility in eligibility for International Representation (Regulation 6)

The updates made are fairly significant, so it is important that you read carefully all sections of the GCR and associated Tournament Regulations so you, your teams, players, and entourage are aware and can plan accordingly.

BWF will circulate an updated version of these documents if any changes are made by BWF Council at its meeting in November 2017.

The current draft of these documents can also be accessed at the following page of the BWF Corporate website:http://bwfcorporate.com/about/amended-regulations/
