How to Run a Badminton Tournament

An 8-player badminton bracket runs 3 rounds: quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. With 8 players, there are no BYEs — every player starts in the quarter-finals.

Seed by club ranking or BWF world ranking. Standard seeding pairs #1 vs #8 so the top players only meet in the final.
