While gearing up for the “improved Nationals”, SLB has included four more events in this championship due to popular demand; the women’s singles and mixed doubles for over 50 years, and women’s singles and doubles for over 60 years.
The 2020 championships was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and later the surge of entries and several requests from badminton enthusiasts compelled SLB to postpone the landmark 2020 event again by one further week this year. The tournament is being conducted according to the health guidelines imposed by the Ministry of Health.
