LONDON: Badminton s world governing body will vote in May on a proposal to change the sport s scoring system after this year s Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it said on Saturday.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) said it had taken forward a proposal from Badminton Indonesia and Badminton Maldives to amend the rulebook.
Matches are played in a best-of-three format at present, with the winner of each game being the first player to 21 points.
The change proposes a best of five games of 11 points format in a bid to increase excitement and make the sport more television friendly. The proposed scoring system change is part of my vision to make badminton more exciting and to increase the entertainment value for stakeholders and fans, said Poul-Erik Hoyer, the BWF president and 1996 Olympic champion for Denmark.
