LUGI Badminton · Lund · 2010/11 – 2019/20

History of LUGI Badminton 2010–2020

A decade reconstructed from old league tables, tournament player lists and 103 national ranking lists that are no longer linked from anywhere. Two Division 1 titles, one Elitserien qualifier lost only on the head-to-head result, and a club that grew from two to five senior teams.

The road toward Elitserien

LUGI 1 stayed in Division 1 for the entire decade and finished in the top four in eight of ten seasons. Two seasons ended at the top of the table.

LUGI 1: final position in Division 1 (1 = top). Teams that finished above LUGI are named on their position line.

Division 1 Södra in 2010/11, Division 1 Syd afterwards. 6–8 teams per group. 2019/20 was stopped by COVID-19 in March 2020 while LUGI led the table.

2013/14: Champions, then the qualifier

LUGI 1 won Division 1 Syd with 21 points (10 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss), and match score 73-23. That sent the team to the Elitserien qualifier on 17 May 2014 against Spårvägens BMF, Spånga BMK and Örebro BMK. LUGI lost the opener to Spårvägen 3–4, then beat Örebro 7–0 and Spånga 6–1. LUGI and Spårvägen both finished on 7 points, and LUGI even had the better match score (16–5 against 13–8). Spårvägen finished first, apparently on their 4–3 head-to-head win. The club website later wrote that LUGI "chose not to move up".

2019/20: Top of the table when the music stopped

LUGI 1 had 7 wins and 1 loss from 8 matches (55–9 in individual matches) and led Division 1 Syd, one point ahead of Malmö BK, when the season was stopped in March 2020. The last four rounds were never played; the official table lists them as 0–0 draws, giving 12 played and 18 points. The squad mixed homegrown players (Nils Ihse, Leo Rasmusson, Max Lundin Gotfredsen) with newcomers like Shaun Ekengren, Ann-Sofie Husher Ruus and Oliver Lau Andersen.

Every team, every season

Final position in the group for each LUGI senior team. Stronger blue means a higher division (see legend). A gold outline marks group winners.

"Players used" = players with at least one series match. The 2010/11 figure is low because few individual results were recorded that season.

Division 1 in 2014/15 had two LUGI teams: LUGI 2 had won Division 2 Syd B the season before. In 2013/14 four of the five LUGI teams won their groups.

The title-winning Team 1 squads

Every player who played for LUGI 1 in the two title seasons and the Elitserien qualifier. "Best that season" is the player's best senior national ranking between August and July of that season. "Career best" is the best at any point from 2012 to 2020.

Missing from these lists are players whose youth years were before July 2012. For example, Rann Li (born 1997) played SM U15 in 2011, but his U15 seasons predate the online ranking archive. His first listed rank is already U17 (#33 in men's singles, October 2012).

Grew up here, or came from elsewhere?

For each player I took the first season they appear for LUGI in any source (series, tournament or ranking) and their age at that point. This is a proxy: it shows when someone first shows up in the records, not which club they came from.
