Linking your Badminton England membership

If you hold a Badminton England (BE) membership, you can record it on your player profile. Your club can then confirm, once, that the number and tier match BE's records, so they don't have to re-check it every competition.

Why bother?

Most adult and county-level competitions in England are BE-sanctioned, which means every entrant has to hold a current BE membership at the right tier. Recording your BE number on your profile means:

• Your club's competition entry list shows BE-status at a glance.
• You don't have to dig out your BE card every time you enter a tournament.
• If you change clubs, your BE info travels with you, it's stored against your player profile, not your club membership.

How to add it

1. Go to /me/profile.
2. Scroll to the Badminton England section.
3. Enter your BE membership number exactly as it appears on your BE card or in your JustGo account.
4. Choose your membership tier:

- Play: recreational adult membership

- Compete: required for BE-sanctioned competition entry

- Club: adult club-membership tier

- Coach: coach pathway

- Fan: non-playing supporter

1. Click Save.

That's it. Your number and tier are visible to your club's committee but not to other members.

Verification

By default, your entry is self-attested: we trust you. A committee member at any club you belong to can also verify it: they cross-check your number and tier against BE's club-secretary view in JustGo, then mark your profile as verified.

When verified, a green "Verified" badge appears next to your BE number, along with the date.

If you later change your BE number or tier (for example, you upgrade from Play to Compete), the verification is cleared automatically and a committee member will need to re-verify the new details.

Junior players

If you're a guardian managing a junior's profile, the same fields appear under your child's profile in /me/juniors. The junior tier set is different:

• U12s: Badminton England's junior tier (most under-12s)
• Play or Compete: older juniors who hold an adult tier

What we don't do

We don't exchange data with Badminton England directly. BE doesn't publish a public API for partner platforms, so nothing about your BE membership is sent to them, and nothing about your BE membership is pulled from them automatically. Your club secretary still needs to log into JustGo separately to verify a number.

Removing your BE info

You can clear your BE number and tier at any time from /me/profile. If you remove your account or request data erasure via /me/data, your BE number is pseudonymised along with the rest of your profile, see Deleting your account.
