===World Ranking points===
{{Main|BWF World Ranking}}

The Super Series Premier and Super Series tournaments offered ranking points to players based on the round a player/pair reaches. The Super Series Premier tournaments offered higher ranking points, second only to BWF tournaments ([[BWF World Championships]] and [[Badminton at the Summer Olympics|Summer Olympics]]). Points would be used for World Ranking and also Super Series standing to decide the top eight players/pairs qualified for the Super Series Finals.<ref name="World Ranking System">{{cite web|title=Badminton World Federation – World Ranking System|url=http://bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=679518&dl=1|work=Badminton World Federation|publisher=Bwfbadminton.org|access-date=29 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305074301/http://bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=679518&dl=1|archive-date=2016-03-05|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Nationality separation===
Starting in 2007, players from the same nation were not separated in the main draw of the tournaments. All but the top two seeds would not be divided into two draws as they were before. The top [[Chinese people|Chinese]] player [[Lin Dan]] has criticized the rule change.<ref>{{cite news|title=China's Lin Dan hits out at BWF over rule changes|url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/1/16/sports/16579699&sec=sports|newspaper=The Star|date=16 January 2007}}</ref> Since 2010 rules were altered with nationality separation in the first round.<ref>{{cite web|title=Regulations for Super Series|url=http://bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=679522&dl=1|publisher=Badminton World Federation|access-date=29 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151206212638/http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=679522&dl=1|archive-date=2015-12-06|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Entries===
Entries must be made five weeks before the start of the tournament. Only 32 players/pairs would play in the main round. Among the 32 players/pairs, only eight players/pair would be seeded in each event. Each event had 28 highest-ranked players/pairs in World Ranking and four qualifiers.

Prior to September 2008, 32 players/pairs were able to participate in qualifying rounds. Since then, only up to 16 players/pairs were allowed to participate in qualifying rounds, where four highest-ranked players/pairs in World Ranking would be seeded.<ref name="Regulations for Super Series"/> This change was to avoid a big strain between the qualifiers and the main events.<ref>{{cite news|title=Changes to Qualifying Rounds|url=http://www.internationalbadminton.org/news1.asp?pageid={10797C62-90B0-455F-BE03-1A11C3B85F9B}|access-date=29 September 2013|newspaper=Badminton World Federation}}{{Dead link|date=December 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Each Super Series tournament were held in six days, with the main round in five days.<ref>{{cite web|title=Super Series Schedule|url=http://bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=679522&dl=1|work=Badminton World Federation|publisher=Bwfbadminton.org|access-date=29 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151206212638/http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=679522&dl=1|archive-date=2015-12-06|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Player commitment regulations===
Starting in 2011, top ten players/pairs of each discipline in the World Ranking were required to play in all Super Series Premier tournaments and a minimum of four Super Series tournaments occurring in the full calendar year. Players who qualified for Super Series Finals were obliged to play. A fine and above the normal withdrawal fees would be imposed upon players/pairs who fail to play. Exemption from penalty would be considered by BWF on receipt of a valid medical certificate or strong evidence that prove players unfit to participate. However, retired or suspended players were not subject to these regulations.<ref>{{cite news|title=Player Commitment Regulations|url=http://bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=634124&dl=1|newspaper=Badminton World Federation|date=9 November 2015|access-date=2015-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905201216/http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=634124&dl=1|archive-date=2015-09-05|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=BWF: Premier Super Series mandatory for top shuttlers|url=http://www.thestar.com.my/story.aspx?file=%2F2010%2F9%2F15%2Fsports%2F7033820|access-date=29 September 2013|newspaper=The Star|date=15 September 2010}}</ref>

===Umpires===
In [[2007 BWF Super Series|2007 season]], each tournament hosts were allowed to present local umpires. However, after the outcry of several players during the tournaments,<ref>{{cite news|last=Boopathy|first=K.M.|title=Neutral umpires for fairplay|url=http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/new-straits-times/mi_8016/is_20071204/neutral-umpires-fairplay/ai_n44384762/|access-date=14 February 2011|newspaper=New Straits Times|date=4 December 2007}}</ref> each Super Series tournaments must present eight international certificated and accredited umpires.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.internationalbadminton.org/newscontent.asp?pageid={44F7A8FC-2050-4FD6-908E-63595EDC23DE}|title=BWF push for international umpires at Super Series events|newspaper=Badminton World Federation}}{{Dead link|date=October 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Recent regulations state that at least six umpires must be from member associations other than the host member association, at least four BWF and two continental certificated umpires with well spread nationality.<ref name="Regulations for Super Series"/>
