It covers court operators across Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya, Puchong and Klang, and it records three things a ranking alone would not: rates, booking links and how readily peak-hour slots can be had. This page explains how the index is built. It is not the index and it names no venue. The full record is published on klangvalleybadminton.my. We call it an index rather than a guide because a score on its own is not much use here. A player choosing a court is not asking which venue is best in the abstract. They are asking which of the good ones has a free hall at 8pm on Thursday, and what it costs. ## How the ranking is built The score is built from public customer reviews using the same published scoring method as every other Meridian Guides directory: review volume, recency, rating distribution, and what reviewers say about the parts of the experience that matter for this category. The full weighting sits on how we rank businesses [/methodology/ →](/methodology/) . ![Abstract grid of evening time slots marked as available and unavailable](/images/content/abstract-typographic-grid-of-evening-time-slots-ma.webp) For courts, emergency response time means nothing, and the weighting reflects that. What carries weight instead is booking ease and court condition. Booking ease is the practical constraint. A venue that is genuinely excellent but permanently full at the only hours working people can play is not the same recommendation as one with the same courts and open evening slots. The index records that difference rather than burying it. Court condition comes almost entirely from what reviewers describe: the floor, the lighting, the ventilation, and whether the nets and lines have been maintained. These are the things players write about, and they are consistent enough across reviews to score. ![Abstract two-column diagram comparing a published rate with a recorded rate](/images/content/minimal-line-diagram-of-a-published-rate-column-se.webp) Rates are recorded as reference data, not scored. A cheaper court is not automatically a better one, and pretending otherwise would push the index towards a price war it has no business starting. The rate is there so a group can budget, and it is checked at the monthly re-check. | Input | Weight for courts | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Booking ease at peak hours | Heaviest | A permanently full venue is not the same recommendation as an open one | | Court condition | Heavy | Floor, lighting, ventilation and nets are what players actually write about | | Review recency | Moderate | Floors and lighting are maintained or they are not, and that changes | | Review volume | Moderate | It sets how much confidence an average deserves | | Rates | Recorded, not scored | A cheaper court is not automatically a better one | | Response speed, payment, ad spend | None | Irrelevant to a booked activity, or not exposed to the engine | > **Nothing here is sold** > > Booking links point at the operator’s own booking channel.

That is the whole reason this index is metro-wide. Players in Petaling Jaya book halls in Puchong when their usual venue is full, and a Shah Alam group will take a Klang slot for a Saturday morning. Court demand does not respect municipal boundaries, and a directory that split the metro area into five would leave every player with an artificially short list at exactly the moment they need alternatives. The reasoning behind each coverage decision is set out under our directories [/directories/ →](/directories/) . ## The monthly re-check Every entry is re-checked once a month. Scores refresh against current public reviews, and venues that have closed are removed automatically at that re-check. The reference data is checked on the same cycle, which matters more here than in most categories. Court rates change, and booking systems get replaced. A rate that was right eighteen months ago is not a neutral error: a group turns up expecting one figure and pays another. Monthly checking is how the index avoids becoming a set of numbers that used to be true. If you operate a venue and a rate, a booking link or any other detail is wrong, or you want the entry removed, email hello@meridianguides.my [mailto:hello@meridianguides.my →](mailto:hello@meridianguides.my) with the venue name, the directory it appears on, and what is wrong. Removal is honoured without penalty. The process is on corrections, disputes and removals [/corrections/ →](/corrections/) . Questions ## Badminton Court Index questions ### Does this page list badminton courts? No. This page explains how the Klang Valley Badminton Court Index is built. The court operators, their rates and their booking links are published on the index itself at klangvalleybadminton.my. ### Why is this called an index rather than a guide? Because it records reference data as well as a ranking. Alongside the score, it holds rates, booking links and peak-hour availability, which is the information a group actually needs before booking. ### Do you take a commission on bookings made through the index? No. Booking links point to the operator's own booking channel. Nothing is sold here, and no operator pays to appear or to rank. ### How is peak-hour availability judged? Evening and weekend slots are what most groups want, so the index records how readily those slots can be booked. A venue with excellent courts that is impossible to get into at 8pm is described that way rather than quietly ranked as though it were free. ### The rate listed for my venue is out of date. How do I correct it? Email hello@meridianguides.my with the venue name, the directory it appears on, and the correct figure. The target for a standard request is five business days.
