Section 02

Protocol Team & Roles

Protocol covers everything around the sport: how guests are received, where people sit, the order things happen in, and how the federation is represented. Design and Media sit under the same lead so that what is published matches what happens on the floor.

តួនាទីរបស់ក្រុមWhat each role owns

RoleResponsibility
Protocol leadGuest reception, precedence, ceremony sequence, liaison with Badminton Asia and the federation
Team leadDaily assignment of Design and Media staff, quality check before anything is published
DesignPosters, banners, countdown graphics, results tables, programme booklet, certificates
MediaPhotography, video, live coverage, recaps, social posts, sponsor content
Floor runnerMoves between court, media desk and VIP area; carries flash drives and printed sheets
Chain of approval

Nothing bearing the federation logo is published without the team lead's approval. Anything involving a guest of honour, a national flag, or a sponsor's mark also needs the Protocol lead's approval before it goes out.

ការទាក់ទងបន្ទាន់If something goes wrong

  • Tell the team lead first — do not fix a protocol problem on your own initiative.
  • If a published item contains an error, take it down first, correct it, then repost.
  • Escalate anything involving a guest of honour straight to the Protocol lead.

Team Roster & Contacts5
Section 04

Order of Precedence

Precedence decides who is greeted first, who is seated where, who speaks in what order, and whose name appears first in captions. When in doubt, ask — do not guess.

លំដាប់ពិធីការStanding order

  1. Royal Government representative — highest-ranking official present [TBC]
  2. Badminton Asia representative — continental federation delegate
  3. CBF President and federation executive
  4. National Olympic Committee of Cambodia representative
  5. Heads of visiting delegations — by country, alphabetical
  6. Official sponsors — principal partner first, then remaining partners
  7. Technical officials — referee, deputy referee, umpires
Practical rules

Greet from highest precedence downward, right to left as you face the line. Flags follow the same order, with the Cambodian flag in the position of honour. In group photographs the guest of honour stands centre, host to their right. Never seat a sponsor above a government or federation guest, whatever the sponsorship value.

ការហៅឈ្មោះForms of address

  • Use full title and name on first reference in any caption or announcement.
  • Confirm spelling and title in writing before the ceremony — never from memory.
  • Khmer first, English second, on all bilingual name cards and captions.

Positions

Two photographers minimum: one fixed at the podium line, one roaming. The roaming photographer never crosses in front of a seated guest of honour. Video holds a locked wide shot for the entire anthem and declaration.

Medal Ceremony Procedure

Medal ceremonies follow each final on Friday 21 August, and any earlier category finals as scheduled. The sequence below does not change.

លំដាប់ពិធីប្រគល់មេដាយSequence

  1. Athletes assembled at the marshalling point, in category order
  2. Announcement of the category and the presenting official
  3. Athletes take the podium — bronze, then silver, then gold
  4. Medals presented, then flowers or gifts if used
  5. Flag raising and anthem of the winning nation
  6. Official group photograph on the podium
  7. Athletes leave the podium; press photographs follow

ការងាររបស់ក្រុមTeam assignments

WhoDuring the ceremony
ProtocolEscorts the presenting official; checks medal tray order before each category
Media — stillsPodium wide, each athlete on receipt, flag and anthem, final group shot
Media — videoLocked wide for the anthem; cutaways only between categories
DesignChampion graphic prepared in advance; names filled in and published within the hour
Never

Never step onto the podium platform. Never obscure a flag while it is being raised. Never publish a result graphic before the ceremony has concluded — a scoreline can still change on appeal.

Standards of Conduct

សម្លៀកបំពាក់Dress

Ceremony daysFormal — accredited team shirt, dark trousers or skirt, closed dark shoes
Competition daysAccredited team shirt, neat trousers, closed shoes suitable for court-side
AlwaysAccreditation visible at chest height, never reversed or covered

វិន័យក្នុងការងារOn duty

  • Arrive at the position brief on time — a late arrival costs someone else their position.
  • Phones silent inside the hall. No personal calls court-side.
  • Do not sit in seats reserved for guests, officials or delegations, even when empty.
  • Cross behind the court, never between the court and a seated guest of honour.
  • Ask before photographing a guest of honour at close range.
  • No eating or drinking court-side other than water.

ការផ្សព្វផ្សាយPublishing

  • Federation channels only — do not post event content from personal accounts before the official post goes out.
  • Khmer first, English second, in every bilingual caption.
  • Sponsor marks appear as supplied, never recoloured, stretched or cropped.
  • Check every name and title against the written list before publishing.
  • If you make an error, report it to the team lead immediately — do not quietly delete.
The standard

You are representing the Cambodia Badminton Federation to a continental audience. Anything you publish is read as the federation's own voice.
