Tournament index (index.json)

A JSON array, one object per tournament since 2007 (4,029 entries — a superset of the 608 elite tournaments behind the match files, including lower grades not otherwise included here). Key fields: id, name, start_date, end_date, location, country, category (maps to tier above), and url. Use it to look up tournament metadata or to re-scope the dataset to a different tier cutoff.

The tour was restructured in 2018, replacing the Superseries/Grand Prix tier system with the HSBC BWF World Tour; both eras are represented here under their original tier labels rather than normalized to one scheme.

Data collection

Compiled from BWF's own publicly served tournament results, tournament by tournament, then cleaned and flattened into the tables above.

Processing notes:

• Duplicate match records (some tournaments publish results under more than one grouping) were de-duplicated on match id.
• Walkovers and matches with no recorded winner are excluded.
• Player names are normalized to a consistent spelling across the full time span (surname in caps, e.g. SHI Yu Qi). Where two players share a display name, one carries a [player-id] disambiguation suffix.
• Scores are the raw per-game point totals as recorded; matches ending in retirement or default are represented by whatever games were completed, with no separate annotation.
• Qualification rounds are included and prefixed with Q in round — filter them out if you want main-draw results only.

Known limitations

• round naming isn't fully standardized across eras — most rounds use abbreviations (R32, QF, SF) but a small number of older or team-format entries use spelled-out or group-stage labels (Round of 16, Group C), and a handful are blank.
• Coverage begins in 2007; earlier results (e.g. Lin Dan's 2004–06 run) aren't included.
• This is singles/doubles individual-event data only — team competitions (Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, Sudirman Cup) aren't broken out into individual rubbers here.

Quick start

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("matches.csv", parse_dates=["date"])
ms = df[df.discipline == "MS"]

# main-draw matches only
main_draw = df[~df["round"].str.startswith("Q", na=False)]

# a player's career record
player = "SHI Yu Qi"
matches = df[(df.team1 == player) | (df.team2 == player)]
wins = ((matches.team1 == player) & (matches.winner == 1)) | \
       ((matches.team2 == player) & (matches.winner == 2))
print(f"{player}: {wins.sum()}-{(~wins).sum()}")
