Also known as US Veterans or US Masters Championships
Veteran's Doubles (men only) was added to the 2nd Annual Amateur Badminton Championships in 1938. This tradition continued for 2 decades until 1958 when the Ladies were allowed in and "Senior" became the designation. By 1975 all 5 Senior disciplines were part of the U.S. Nationals along with a new age group, Masters (50). The next decade saw the inclusion of Grand Masters (60) and Golden Masters (70). After 1985 the seniors broke away and formed the U.S. Senior Nationals with their own dates and venues.
