Update on Tournaments – Grade 2, 3 and Junior

Further to the BWF announcement of 22 May on the revised calendar (linked here), here is a further update on some Grade 2 and 3 tournaments and Junior International tournaments.

BWF continues to work closely with Member Associations and Continental Confederations to reschedule as many tournaments as possible. This has not been an easy task as each national territory is responding differently to the improving Covid-19 situation. We thank all involved for the great collaboration in working on the calendar and revising where needed.
