One small drama about this bidding: Indonesia and Malaysia refused to bid due to unfairness in revenue sharing by BWF. China also stated its intention to follow suit, but later keep their bids and won the most events lol

A new conflict in Danish badminton.

The conflict is about commercial rights, especially how much of the players's commercial earnings should go to the Danish Badminton Association. 

Badminton Denmark has sent out a press release, which makes it clear that from 1st of December all agreements, both collectively and individually, cease to apply. This means that the players withdraw their intellectual property rights from the cooperation, and that the association terminates all services financed by the Elite Program. Players may, for example, not continue their daily training at the elite center, gain access to Team Denmark facilities and specialists, and be part of the national team. Badminton Denmark will not, as long as there is no new agreement, send trainers and other staff to individual tournaments, arrange travel, apply visa, book hotel, transportation, training times.

In 2015 there was cookie wars, now this.. Hopefully it is resolved soon, since it will be sad if Denmark sent weak teams to Tokyo Olympics and Thomas/Uber in their home soil.

On Wednesday (5th of December), The Board of Badminton Denmark will meet to discuss, if the current chief and management of Badminton Denmark are going to continue negotiating with the players, or they have to be replaced by a new management.
