Players and coaches have given their take on the new 15x3 scoring system proposed by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), with national shuttler Pearly Tan vowing to be more aggressive.

“I will be more aggressive if there are shorter points,” said Tan, who is already one of the most offensive women’s doubles shuttler in the game.

National singles head coach Kenneth Jonassen also offered his opinion.

“Every time we mixed up with the scoring system, the game has moved in an explosive and intense manner. When there is less points to be played, you need to be good in everything you do.

“All round, accomplished players will have the advantage. You need to have good quality and control your emotions, because unforced mistakes will cost you,” said the Dane, who played in the 15-point service scoring system during his playing days in the 90s.

Former national men’s singles shuttler Wong Choong Hann, currently heading the Hong Kong national side, felt the 15x3 system would help players avoid injuries.

“Based on trials we had at some of our local tournaments, most matches hover in the 30-min range. That will help them avoid chronic injuries,” he said.

South Korea’s Park Joo-bong, who now leads his national team, was also in favour of the new proposed system.

“I agree with the BWF to make the game faster and more exciting. But we have never tried it at the top level for the players.”

The new scoring system proposal will be put to a membership vote at the BWF Annual General Meeting on April 25.

If it gets the majority nod, will be implemented in 2027.

For the record, the currenting 21x3 scoring system has been in effect since 2006.
