PETALING JAYA: The Badminton World Federation (BWF) have dropped the biggest hint yet that they will relax their “Top Player Commitment” regulations that requires star players to play a minimum of 12 priority tournaments in a season.

BWF secretary general Thomas Lund admitted that it was not feasible for players to commit to that many meets in a long-stretch of tournaments in the condensed, revamped calendar released by the world body last week.
