record of work
All Badminton Europe Umpires must complete a Record of Work detailing where and in how many matches they have officiated during the previous year. Once completed it should be sent to the Badminton Europe office in January (e.g. Jan – Dec 2023 Record of Work should be submitted in Jan 2024). Umpires who will not officiate in at least 40 matches (index number) in BWF sanctioned tournaments are no longer recognised as international umpires and will be removed from the list of Badminton Europe umpires.
Umpires removed from the list can be reinstated (on the same level as they reached before being removed), but only after attending (and passing) a refreshment course organised by Badminton Europe.
