Badminton to Adopt 15x3 Scoring System; Gopichand Highlights Player Impact
Badminton's scoring system will change from the current 21x3 format to a shorter 15x3 format next year, as approved by the Badminton World Federation to manage player workload. India coach Pullela Gopichand recalled past disruptions from scoring changes and said the new system will emphasize speed, power, and mental strength. He noted that some players may struggle to adapt while others could benefit, with doubles players expected to face the most significant impact due to the increased intensity of each phase.
