The ranking in this table is consistent with International Olympic Committee convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a nation is an entity represented by a NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next, followed by the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given; they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code. A total of 1,350 medals (427 gold, 421 silver and 502 bronze) were awarded. The total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals, because two bronze medals were awarded per event in 10 sports: badminton,http://www.doha-2006.com/gis/menuroot/sports/Badminton_HR.aspx?id=BD https://web.archive.org/web/20070104042716/http://www.doha-2006.com/gis/menuroot/sports/Badminton_HR.aspx?id=BD January 4, 2007 Badminton – Past Medals doha-2006.com.
