Hello Gabriel,

I agree with you about the badminton tournaments, that seems odd. It
appears to already be a discussion about that on the talk page of the only
participant in the badminton project:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Florentyna#subclass_of:_badminton_tournament

Perhaps it is best to continue the discussion there?
