2011 BWF Super Series
The 2011 BWF Super Series was the fifth season of the BWF Super Series. This season marked the beginning of a three-year cycle of the event, the second after the first four-year one from 2007 to 2010. A few changes were announced by Badminton World Federation (BWF), as the India was promoted up one stage from the Grand Prix Gold level, while the Swiss was dropped from the Superseries.[1] Five tournaments were promoted to become slightly higher-level Superseries Premier events with more prize money awarded than in the Super Series tournaments.[2]
The Masters Finals were held in Liuzhou, China from December 14–18, 2011.[3]
