  • The ability to enter players by the respective Member will be disabled;
  • Any individually barred player(s) will be removed from the BWF World Ranking system;
  • Tournament organisers /Member and Continental Confederations hosting tournaments will be asked not to enter these players in tournaments until further notice;
  • Any barred players – (either through a Member who does not have the right to enter players or individually barred players) – who have entered into a tournament and the draw has already been completed and published will be allowed to continue to play, however no world ranking points will be awarded for that tournament until the outstanding fees have been paid; and
  • Any player who has entered a tournament and is on the M & Q Report (main and qualifying report) and before the draw is completed – will be removed from the M & Q Report and be prevented from entering the draw.
