I'm new here...but I want to ask, have LCW ever won a 1st tier tournament yet in his career?
what kind of 1st teir tournament?
olympic?
world championship?
all england?
if we consider the player who still yet to retired
only taufik and lin dan won olympic gold
only lin dan and taufk won world championship
only peter gade,chen jin,lin dan and lee chong wei won 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 until 2010 as in 2011 their will be 5 premier super series^^
hope that help u
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."

How about Asian game?
Consider Major? Only TH have won that IIRC.

we consider as major in badminton central(wc,og,ae,tc,uc,sc)
not consider by tier![]()
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?![]()
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.How about Asian game?
Consider Major? Only TH have won that IIRC.
no
because the tournament held by england ba
while wc,tc,sc,uc was held by bwf
So in conclusion, the tier one tournaments in badminton are:
OG, WC, TC, UC, and SC. AE does not count correct?

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

over to you bcers.....
We do not count tournaments as tier one, tier two, etc, that's not how it's categorized. So far, No Msia player have ever won OG or WC. TC, Uber, Sudirman CUp are Team events, Msia have only won TC.So in conclusion, the tier one tournaments in badminton are:
OG, WC, TC, UC, and SC. AE does not count correct?

I am simply seeking for an answer to my question...and since my question is related to LCW, I thought I would ask it in this LCW thread. Now is this against the BC rules?
