BWF Tour Super 100
badminton championships
The BWF Tour Super 100 is the lowest tier in the Grade 2 badminton tournament structure classified by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). Introduced as Level 6 in 2018, the category sits below the Super 300 tier and awards points toward the BWF World Ranking and BWF World Tour rankings.
From its inception through 2026, Super 100 tournaments are branded separately from the HSBC BWF World Tour, although their results counted toward qualification for the BWF World Tour Finals. Unlike higher-tier World Tour events, which were assigned through multi-year hosting cycles, Super 100 tournaments were selected on a seasonal basis. Beginning with the 2027 season, the category will be fully integrated into the four-year BWF World Tour hosting cycle with eight designated tournaments.
History
The BWF Tour Super 100 was established in 2018 as part of the BWF's restructured Grade 2 tournament system. Eleven events were designated for the inaugural season, forming the entry level beneath the four regular HSBC BWF World Tour tiers. Although branded separately, results from these tournaments have counted toward the season-long World Tour rankings since the category's inception.
The tournament programme was significantly affected during the 2020 and 2021 seasons by the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused widespread cancellations and a temporary reduction in the minimum prize-money requirement.
For the 2023 and 2024 seasons, the BWF initially selected nine tournaments per season.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “BWF Tour Super 100” as badminton championships. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as badminton championships. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q53572574. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2026, 2027 and 2020.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
