Spectator Safety in Badminton

The organizer of a badminton public event is responsible for maintaining order and safety during the event.

The organizer must submit a written notification of the public event to the local police department at least five days prior to the start of the event.

However, notification is not required for events that, due to a small number of participants, the nature of the event, or the venue, do not require special measures to maintain order and safety, prevent harm to bystanders or the environment, or arrange special traffic management.

The audience is required to behave appropriately and without unreasonably disturbing other spectators or athletes. Any form of racism, racist behavior, or other harassment is strictly prohibited. Bringing intoxicants or dangerous objects to events is forbidden.

Events must have first aid personnel available for the public as well. The primary role of security personnel is to ensure the safety and comfort of attendees through guidance and assistance.

When necessary, the police may issue instructions and orders before or during the public event. The organizer must guarantee unobstructed access for police and rescue vehicles to required areas. A public event must be suspended or terminated if continuing it poses an immediate danger to human safety, property, or the environment. A police officer holding a commanding rank has the right to suspend or terminate a public event if other measures prove insufficient.

Disruptive behavior includes, but is not limited to:

Bringing pyrotechnic products into the stands

Violence

Throwing objects onto the court

Invading the court

Racism and other forms of harassment/insults

Photography using flash during matches

By following the spectator safety guidelines as an event organizer and as a spectator, you help keep sports at the center and ensure a safe experience for everyone.
