Competition · Officials · Approved Equipment · Event LightingProduct details
Tournament badminton is especially sensitive to lighting, backgrounds and airflow.
For higher-level events, court geometry is only the starting point. Visual contrast, air movement, clear height, approved equipment and lighting performance become central venue requirements.
01Court
13.4 × 6.1 mFull doubles court reference under the current BWF Laws of Badminton.
02Clear space
2 m behind · 1.5 m sidesCurrent BWF international-standard facility reference; 1.5 m also applies between side-by-side courts.
03Posts + nets
BWF-approved pathwayCurrent BWF specifications require approved nets and net posts for Grades 1–3 tournaments.
04Lighting
Grade 1–2 minimum 1000 lux referenceCurrent BWF international-standard facility reference; major-event bid documents may require higher performance such as 1500 lux on TV courts.
05Background
Dark visual controlCurrent BWF guidance requires avoiding predominantly white/light backgrounds behind the court for higher-level events.
06Clear height
Event-specificBWF Major Event bid guidance currently references 12 m clear height above the complete playing area.
07Airflow
Competition-controlledHVAC and doors need to minimise shuttle-affecting drafts.
08Officials

Airflow control
Venue services are coordinated to reduce disruptive drafts across the court.
Officials + event operation
