Chapter 35 appendix

1. In June 2001, the International Badminton Federation passed the reform and changed the badminton competition system from the traditional system of two wins in three games with 15 points per game to three wins in five games with 7 points in each game. The 7-point system shortens the game time, speeds up the game rhythm, and increases the chance of the game. The Malaysian Open in July is also Lin Dan's first top-level event. 2. At that time, the Asian Championships still retained the 15-point system of winning two out of three games. 3. At that time, the National Games implemented a 15-point system.

4. In April 2002, at the Council of the International Badminton Federation, the new competition system of five games, three wins and 7 points that had been tried out for a year was abolished, and the 15-point system of three games and two wins was restored. 5. Chen Hong withdrew in the second game. 6. Nanjing is the host city of the National Games, and the actual venue of the badminton competition is Kunshan. 7. The International Badminton Federation passed the reform in 2005 and began to try out the new 21-point competition system on February 1, 2006. The Yiyang World Cup is the first appearance of the 21-point system. In May 2006, the General Assembly of the International Badminton Federation voted through the reform of the 21-point system.

8. At the end of 2006, the Badminton World Federation (BWF, formerly known as the International Badminton Federation IBF) made new reforms to the competition in order to improve the quality of badminton, and established the World Badminton Super Series.It includes 12 top badminton tournaments held in 11 countries and regions. In 2012, these 12 tournaments were Korea Open, Malaysia Open, All England Open, India Open (replaced in 2011) in chronological order. Swiss Open), Indonesia Open, Singapore Open, China Masters, Japan Open, Denmark Open, French Open, China Open and Hong Kong Open.Since 2011, the World Badminton Federation has separated the five major open tournaments in Korea, All England, Indonesia, Denmark and China from ordinary super tournaments, and called it the Super Series Premier.

9. The World BWF Grand Prix is ​​the third level of badminton singles and doubles events next to the main super series and ordinary super competition.The Grand Prix is ​​divided into two levels according to the level of prize money: BWF Gold Grand Prix and BWF Grand Prix. 10. It was formerly known as the IBF Grand Prix Finals held from 1983 to 2000. It was originally one of the annual badminton competitions. It was suspended after 2000 and resumed in 2008. The top eight players in the super competition points at the end of the year can participate .In the beginning, there were only bonuses but no points in the finals, and the holding time also conflicted with the winter training time of the Chinese national badminton team. Therefore, the Chinese team did not send the strongest lineup to play in the previous finals. In 2011, the finals were awarded the same points as the main super competition, and became a stop of the Olympic points competition. Guoyu sent all the masters to participate, and Lin Dan also participated in the competition for the first time.Since Lin Dan had won the championships before, the media regarded the finals as a fortress that Lin Dan had never conquered.

11. When Lin Dan led 6:2 in the second game, Li Zongwei retired due to injury. By the end of 2011, Lin Dan had won all the important championship titles in the international badminton field, creating an unprecedented badminton "Super Grand Slam".These major international events include: Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup, Finals, All England Open, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup, Asian Games.In addition to this, he has won all the major badminton titles at continental or national level, including Asian Championships, East Asian Games (Men's Team), National Games, City Games and National Badminton Championships.
