On March 29, the latest edition of the BWF Rankings was announced, and the top ten rankings of the 5 individual events did not change, the men's singles Danish star Arcelor and the women's singles Chinese Taipei player Dai Ziying continued to lead, and the national feather only ranked first in the women's doubles with Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan. However, according to the official website of the BWF, the BWF is currently considering the way to unfreeze the world ranking points, from the current "2019 so far in all events to take the highest 10 points added up" to "the last 52 weeks of participation in the highest 10 points added up". If this new rule is really implemented, the points of the national badminton players who have rarely participated in the recent competition are bound to decline sharply, and the impact in the short term, such as the draw of some individual events, will develop in an unfavorable direction.

The BWF's new rule is actually to shorten the points cycle and change to the highest 10 points in the latest year to add up to the ranking of players. However, as we all know, due to the epidemic, Guoyu has missed too many point events in the past year, except for major international events such as the Tokyo Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Tangyou Cup, and the Sudirman Cup, ordinary points competitions and even high-points competitions have avoided playing. Taking this year's 2022 as an example, the two races at the beginning of the year did not participate, until the German and All England tournaments did not go to Europe, but then because of the infection of players and the fear of the game environment, the team withdrew from the Swiss tournament, and the players' points were generally declining.
Taking the weakest men's singles as an example, if according to the new regulations, no player will enter the top 25, and the women's singles He Bingjiao and Chen Yufei will rank 7th and 14th respectively, and the ranking is not high. Of course, the BWF also mentioned that several options are being considered to complete the transition, and this transition period may take several weeks or months, and will be notified once a decision is made. For the national feather, it is really necessary to implement new regulations, in addition to more participation, there is no good way to solve the problem of declining rankings, but under the premise of unclear development trend of the epidemic, considering the health problems of athletes, there are many concerns about going abroad to compete, and indeed face a dilemma.
Chen Yufei
According to the current rules of points, there are still three players in the top 25 of the men's singles, namely Chen Long (6th), Shi Yuqi (16th) and Lu Guangzu (25th). The top 25 players in the women's singles are Chen Yufei (3rd), He Bingjiao (9th), Wang Zhiyi (17th) and Han Yue (24th). The men's doubles combination of He Jiting/Tan Qiang ranked 18th, the women's doubles situation was the best, the "Fan Chen" combination was ranked first, the Li Wenmei/Zheng Yu combination was ranked 14th, and the Liu Xuanxuan/Xia Yuting combination was ranked 19th. The mixed doubles "IELTS" combination Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong and the "Yellow Duck" combination Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping ranked 2nd and 4th respectively, and the He Jiting/Du Yue combination ranked 21st. Once the rules are changed, their rankings will change dramatically, with the vast majority declining or even falling sharply.
