Players transfers of levels

Class downgrades are limited as follows:
- From Elite (V) level to B and from A level to C level will not be reduced until 2 years after the previous highest level.
- From Elite (V) to C just only 10 years after the last Elite (V) levelling.
- For reasonable cause, ratings may be lowered earlier on request.
- For reasonable cause, ratings may be promoted one up also earlier on request

In both, upgrades and downgrades, the change is limited to one class at a time. According to Rule 14.2, the "Kilpailutoimintaryhmä" has used the opportunity in upgrades to increase the level classification by two classes when a player has accumulated the majority of his points by playing in a class higher than his own class during the calculation period. In upgrades, when the point limit is reached, a player who has accumulated his points mainly by playing in his own class and has only moved up one class can separately request to increase the classification by two classes.

Players' scores from competitions abroad

Players' scores from ranking competitions and competitions sanctioned by BFW/BE (when entries are processed by Badminton Finland) will be recorded without any special request. If you find something missing please inform Badminton Finland the soonest by sending the tournament website link with readable results to email kilpailut@sulkapallo.fi

Players' points from other competitions abroad, on their own initiative, will be registered to the ranking at the player's request. The request must be accompanied by an indication:
- name of the competition, venue, date, level in the organizing country and a link to the results of the competition
- name of the player and player ID in Finland
- the player's level and result in the competition
- link to the results of the competition, where available

If there are several Finnish players in the same competition, it is important that one person is responsible for reporting the results of all participants in a single notification. All Finnish players in the competition with a valid competition license will have the points added. The notification should be sent by e-mail to kilpailut@sulkapallo.fi.
