The BWF recently announced that the revised format will be tested from April to October, potentially replacing the 21-point system.
Olympic silver medallist Chan Peng Soon has welcomed the Badminton World Federation’s decision to reintroduce the 15-point scoring system in selected tournaments, saying it will bring renewed excitement to the sport.
“I think this new system will benefit current players, especially senior shuttlers, as it could potentially extend their playing careers,” he was quoted as saying. “I believe many are tired of the current scoring system, as it has been in use for so long. I think it’s time to introduce something new. Let’s discuss it and give it a try first,” he added.
“I don’t think this change will drastically alter playing strategies or eliminate long rallies. However, it should reduce fatigue since the new system is capped at 21 points, unlike the current format, which can stretch to 30 points in the event of a deuce.
