The BWF World Ranking is the official ranking by the Badminton World Federation of badminton players who have competed in competitions authorized by the BWF. It is used to determine eligibility for the World Championships, the Summer Olympics and the BWF World Tour. All BWF-accredited tournaments are seedings based on this world ranking. Athletes under the age of 19 who compete in the junior category are awarded the junior World ranking. The junior World ranking began in 2011. The BWF updates the latest world rankings of five events every Tuesday at 10:00 AM (GMT+0).
