BAI to Implement BWF's 3x15 Scoring System in Domestic Badminton from July
The Badminton Association of India (BAI) will implement the Badminton World Federation's new 3x15 scoring system across domestic tournaments starting July, beginning with the Yonex-Sunrise All India Senior Ranking Tournament in Ernakulam. Matches will remain best-of-three games but each game will be played to 15 points instead of 21, with a two-point lead required from 14-all and a cap at 21 points. The change aims to help players adapt ahead of the international rollout planned for January 2027, emphasizing faster pace, tactical precision, and momentum shifts. The system will be applied across all age groups and major domestic events to ensure familiarity among players, coaches, and officials.
