The Badminton World Federation (BWF) ranking system is based on points accumulated from participating in designated tournaments. Athletes must have competed in at least two events within the last 12 months to be included in the ranking list. Points are awarded to players based on their performance in these competitions, with higher finishes and more significant tournaments yielding more points. The ranking not only determines seedings for events but also qualifies players for the Olympics and the World Championships.
