The seeding was performed by the Badminton Technical Committee, which was elected at the last NatWest Island Games and includes representatives from several islands.
For Jersey 2015, seeding has taken into account both the results of each island in previous Games and the individual rankings of the players selected to play by each island. Using this system, the first four islands were seeded and placed into four groups. The other islands were then seeded 5 to 13, and banded 5 to 8 and 9 to 12. One team from each ‘band’ was then drawn into each group. The thirteenth seed was placed into the group with the fourth seed.
Bermuda has been drawn in Group C alongside 3rd seed Isle of Man and Shetland.
The draw was performed by the Secretary of the Technical Committee, along with the Tournament Scheduler (who is independent from all islands).
