The Badminton Asia Championships (formerly Asian Badminton Championships until 2006) is a tournament organized by Badminton Asia to crown the best badminton players in Asia .
The tournament started in 1962 and is held annually since 1991 . The event had rotated between team and individual competitions before the team event became null since 1994 .[1]
At the 2003 event however, there is a controversy when China decided to pull out from the tournament at the last minute. Head coach Li Yongbo said that the tournament did not award any ranking points for the 2004 Summer Olympics event and wanted to give his players more time to rest.[2] Some of the top players were also willing to pull out from the tournament since the competitiveness of the event was low.

Team championships [ edit ]

In 2016, Badminton Asia decided to create a new men's and women's team championships which also serves as qualification tournament for the Thomas and Uber Cups Finals.[3] Another new team tournament using mixed team format, named as Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championship (also known as Tong Yun Kai Cup [4] ), was initiated in 2017.[5] Both championships are biennial, thus following the same pattern as Thomas & Uber Cups finals and the Sudirman Cup.
