    what if the Bra snap (or for whatever reason "malfunction"), can the female request to go back to the changing room to change her bra during a tournament??

    I think in both cases the players would rather forfeit the game rather than come out of the change room and die of embarrassment. At least I would. :p. Not that I've ever had to experience it before. :)

    I would classify it as unforseen circumstances so I would allow the player to do what's needed, within a given time of course.

    Sadly, in professional badminton for the vast majority of the women players a snapped bra really wouldn't be that big of an issue. I can think of like 3 players that might have a concern. The rest are so low down on the rankings that they wouldn't even make it out of the qualifiers so they could do whatever they want..... It's not like anybody is watching.

    No worries. If LYB uses this idea, BWF will respond appropriate with a change of rules to forbid this equipment in the tournaments... :p :D

    My first thought upon seeing the thread title was to which player I'd most like to see suffer this malfunction. No, I'm not ashamed.

    Sports Bra always!

    The ultimate solution?

    DONT WEAR REGULAR BRA TO A MATCH EVER!!

    WEAR SPORTS BRA. THERES A REASON IT'S INVENTED IN THE 1ST PLACE.
