Re-Opening BWF World Rankings

The BWF World Rankings will reopen following the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2020 being hosted in Week 4 2021. The calculation of the next BWF World Rankings list will be announced on Tuesday 2 February 2021, based on the following principles:
  • Tournaments already included in the BWF World Rankings list as of 17 March 2020 will remain.
  • Tournaments counting for the BWF World Rankings hosted after 17 March 2020 will be added to the BWF World Rankings list being calculated for 2 February 2021.
  • Tournaments sanctioned as world ranking tournaments going forward after 2 February 2021 will be added weekly.
  • No tournaments already included in the BWF World Rankings from 17 March 2020 will be dropped off the rankings until a date to be announced.
  • The BWF World Rankings will be in a transition period and will consist of tournaments from more than 52 weeks. The exact drop-off methodology to reestablish a 52-week World Rankings list is still to be determined and will be announced in due course, but with advance notification.
The BWF World Rankings from 2 February 2021 will thereafter be used for M&Q and seeding.

Here's WR latest update after quite long time freezed by BWF since 17th March 2020.

Bad move from BWF to use 2x the same tournaments , especially the WTF points where only top players can play and definitely will have more chance for higher points like LeeWang & AhsanHendra.

agree with you, use 2 times the same tournaments is a very bad move, really not fair.
 
oh gosh Momota in deep trouble, many points and tournaments to defend, with Axelsen doesnt need to defend anything plus already a very good 2021. Looks like Axelsen will end WR1 for year 2021.

Same with Minions & ZhengHuang. Hit the CHN players hard because they didnt participate 4 tournaments this year.

BWF getting crazier and crazier. Tt was like telling the NT to play in pandemic. They didnt play TO and now the 4 tournaments got removed. oh well.

this bullet point is quite absurd: "No tournaments already included in the BWF World Rankings from 17 March 2020 will be dropped off the rankings until a date to be announced."

this leads to the situation that currently players can still have results from March 2019 in their rankings. Koki Watanabe (https://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/player.aspx?id=27759&player=1069030), for instance, still has his title from Orleans Masters 2019 in his ranking. This result is more than 2 years and 7 months old. Quite ridiculous if you ask me. I know. players had little chances to compete, but this is quite absurd.

Yes, first class solid gold unacceptable about current BWF WR point calculation.
