Badminton-Late schedule change infuriates players

It’s the most important competition. It’s crazy that they can’t do the draw how they are supposed to,said German doubles player Johannes Schoettler.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) apologised to the players after it emerged that the original schedule published on Wednesday had not followed the competition regulations.

There was an oversight and it’s human error that this had not been carefully checked by our own team and myself at the outset,tournament referee Torsten Berg said.
