    BWF needs to change. Ever since the retirement of LD/LCW, badminton's popularity has been in decline.

    Specifically, I think BWF needs to address the following:

    (A) Women's Singles injury is one too many; its format needs to change

    (B) our sport's popularity in Europe needs a new policy

    (C) BWF major events schedule needs to change, so as to avoid clashing with other major sporting events: FIFA World Cup, Summer Olympics, Winter Olympics, UEFA, etc

    (D) Prize money distribution

    What do you think?

    It has been like this for years but they are stuck in old ways. They need complete overhaul of management. The sport, technology, media all moved on but they haven't. It should be more in the media considering how many people play it but it just doesn't attract the funding and sponsors as it should.

    Kindest regards,

    I think the first priority should be Europe.

    German and Swiss Opens should be promoted to Super 500, not Super 300 right now.

    There should be more Super 300/500 tournaments throughout the entire Europe (including the UK and Ireland).

    Perhaps really sit down and listen to it's stakeholders aka the players first? There has been on going complaints by numerous players on the frequency of it's tournament causing injuries and players are being punished when skipping tourneys due to injuries.
