They do issue yellow cards in badminton, just like in soccer! I saw a couple of yellow cards given to a few players in the recent Thomas qualifying round in Malaysia, mostly against the receiver for taking too long to get ready to receive a serve. There was also a yellow card for arguing with the umpire.

It's a warning that's for sure, just like in footie. Have anyone seen red cards yet?

I've only seen yellow - about 2 years ago in the Scottish open for rather unsportsman like behaviour on court (not me).

Was the player a Scot? Can you remember his name?

he probally came from the govan district of glasgow......

There are yellow, red and black cards for BAofE tournaments.

A yellow card represents a warning for misconduct. A red card represents a fault for misconduct, following a yellow card warning. So a red card means you lose a point (or a serve)!

A black card means disqualification from the event for serious or persistent misconduct, and can only be administered by the tournament referee.
