Badminton tournaments, from a hall with eight courts
A badminton tournament is a hall full of simultaneous matches under mixed lighting, with a shuttle that moves faster than almost anything else in sport. The production is built around those two facts.

The badminton scoreboard, built for badminton
A generic score bug with the words changed does not work. These are the fields our graphics carry for badminton, driven live from the scorer.
Camera plan
Positions are chosen for the sport and then adjusted for your venue. This is the starting point.
The standard badminton view - the full court with the net in the middle of frame.
Net play, deception and the replay angle for a tight line.
Presentations, the crowd and the scale of a full-hall tournament.
Tournament formats we cover
Knockout main draws with qualifying, or pools into a knockout, across several courts in a hall. Age-group and skill-band categories usually run together, so a single day can hold dozens of matches - the stream follows the show court and cuts to a finish elsewhere when one is close.
Keeping the shuttle visible
A shuttle against a pale hall ceiling on a low shutter speed is a white smear. Getting it to read on a stream is a matter of shutter, camera placement against the background, and sometimes which end of the hall you shoot from. It is the first thing we check when we see the venue.
Everything else a badminton tournament needs
The production is one part of it. These are the other services, and they share the same player list.
