Inter-State & Inter-Zonal Championships

Overview

The Inter-State & Inter-Zonal Championships are conducted annually under the guidelines of the Badminton Association of India (BAI). The tournament features state-level teams competing within their respective zones — North, South, East, West, and North-East — followed by an intense inter-zonal clash among the top-performing teams.
This dual-level structure ensures that players gain exposure to both regional and national competition, helping them grow mentally, physically, and tactically. It’s a tournament where every smash, serve, and rally reflects the passion and pride of the region they represent.
