Qualification[]
A maximum total of 88 athletes (44 men and 44 women) qualified to compete at the games. A nation may enter a maximum of four athletes per gender. As host nation, Canada automatically qualified a full team of eights athletes. All other athletes qualified through the team world rankings as of February 26, 2015.[6]
Controversy[]
Badminton Canada mistakenly entered three time defending Pan American Championships gold medalists Adrian Liu and Derrick Ng in overlapping events, which is a World Badminton Federation rule violation. Badminton Canada launched an appeal, however it was ultimately unsuccessful. Therefore, both athletes had to be withdrawn from the games.[7]
