Hello fellow badmintoncentral-ers, I'm new here so please excuse my noobiness .

My question is: has LCW won any 1st tier tournaments up to date?

I'm asking this because I was debating with a friend whether LCW has won any 1st tiers or not, and my friend brought up the fact that LCW won the 2010 All England. However, is All England even considered a "first tier" tournament? I know that the Olympics and WC is considered 1st tier for sure...but what about All England?

I see, but I'm confused about if "All England" is considered a 1st tier tournament or not? Because I always thought All-England is considered to be a Super Series....its just that AE is the most prestigious SS of all? Are my wrong? O_O

Yes...but I thought that the 5 "premier" SS are just the most prestigious out of all the SS, even though SS in general is considered to be "second tier" tournys?

Wikipedia:

"The BWF Super Series is a badminton tournament introduced by Badminton World Federation (BWF) in order to improve the quality of the sport. The second-tiered badminton tournament is played in twelve countries..."

"The Thomas, Uber, and Sudirman Cups, the Olympics, and the BWF World (and World Junior Championships), are all categorized as level one tournaments."

we consider as major in badminton central(wc,og,ae,tc,uc,sc)
not consider by tier

How about Asian game?

Consider Major? Only TH have won that IIRC.

wait until lin dan won it
then asian game will be considered
because eventhough lindan said in press interview that taufik is still greater than himself by holding 2 asian games gold,his fans doesnt admit that

should not be considered a major tournament because its not major

only asian playing

thats my opinion, of course!

I understand that AE is considered a "major tournament" by most viewers, but is AE technically classified as a "first tier" tournament by BWF standards?

no
because the tournament held by england ba
while wc,tc,sc,uc was held by bwf

Among Asian players (and many fans) it is considered major but since it's not BWF sanctioned & doesnt include players from all over the world, other members consider it's not. We had a discussion on this some time back.

So, if not considered, badminton individual has 3 majors : OG, WC, AE, LD has won all 3
If considered, then 4 majors : OG, WC, AG, AE, Taufik has won all except AE, the AG 2 times

[Topspin]

no
because the tournament held by england ba
while wc,tc,sc,uc was held by bwf

But the Olympics is not held by BWF, and yet its considered the most prestigious 1st tier tournament in badminton

[pBmMalaysia]

limsy, i never noticed that until now

thought it was all the while under ibf then bwf

maybe england ba older than ibf/bwf ... lol

So in conclusion, the tier one tournaments in badminton are:

OG, WC, TC, UC, and SC. AE does not count correct?

Wikipedia:
"The Thomas, Uber, and Sudirman Cups, the Olympics, and the BWF World (and World Junior Championships), are all categorized as level one tournaments."

So if this is true...does that mean LCW technically haven't won any "tier one" tournaments up to date??
