The software for Swiss badminton
Paak already manages your members, CHF and TWINT payments, and teams. For Swiss Badminton (Ittigen, Haus des Sports), it goes further: categories U11 to Elite, multi-section, parent communications, club accounting. Complementary to TournamentSoftware (BWF-mandated), never a substitute.
Swiss Badminton IT architecture — Paak complementary
Swiss Badminton operates on TournamentSoftware (vendor Visual Reality B.V., Netherlands, BWF-mandated worldwide) at sb.tournamentsoftware.com. It's the source of truth for tournament management, interclub, ranking and player search. You keep it. Paak does not try to replace it. The federation comprises 11 regional sub-federations and is the sole recognised governing body — Swiss Olympic member.
Stays in TournamentSoftware
Tournament management, interclub, BWF/national ranking, player search. BWF-mandated platform used worldwide by badminton federations. You keep it as is.
Public API: none
TournamentSoftware does not publish a public API. A GitHub scraper project was IP-banned. Bridge today: CSV import. No deep integration possible without a Visual Reality B2B partnership.
What Paak adds
Multi-section (a badminton club + other sports), Mollie payments in CHF + TWINT outside the licence (dues, camps, court rental, sponsors), parent communications, club accounting, individual performance (attendance rate, training statistics), volunteers.
Honest position
Swiss Badminton is a Swiss Olympic member, TournamentSoftware platform in long-time use. Paak operates on the club-management layer that TournamentSoftware does not cover deeply (CHF, parents, club accounting, multi-section).
Swiss badminton specifics
Categories U11 to Elite
U11 (regional), U13, U15, U17, U19 (Junior Series + national cadre), Elite/Senior. Source verified swiss-badminton.ch 2026-05-07. Paak handles these categories at SportUIConfig level with automatic age transition.
11 regional sub-federations
Swiss Badminton, founded 1954, comprises 11 regional sub-federations. Paak allows tagging each club with its region to facilitate reporting and inter-club coordination.
No mandatory medical certificate
Swiss norm, requiresMedicalCert: false in the SportUIConfig CH (Session 212 Commit 7). Consistent with the Swiss grassroots practice. Each club can track its own medical validations for youths if relevant.
Multi-section (badminton + other sports)
Many Swiss clubs combine multiple sports — badminton + table tennis, or badminton + other sections. Paak manages multiple sections under one platform and one subscription.
