The Badminton World Federation recently concluded its Council meeting sessions, held in the new head office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "On 9 December 2005, the BWF Council approved the decision to experiment with the 3x21 rally point scoring system. This will apply to all BWF sanctioned events, carrying world ranking points, with effect from 1 February 2006," said Events Committee Chairman, Paisan Rangsikitpho. At the Annual General Meeting to be held in Japan (May) in conjunction with the Thomas / Uber Cup 2006, the AGM will vote whether or not to adopt this 3x21 scoring system as a permanent rule. For singles matches, the rules are: * A match consists of best of 3 games.* The side that first scored 21 points shall win. * The side winning a rally shall add 1 point to its score. * If a score becomes 20-20, the side which scores 2 consecutive points shall win that game. * If the score becomes 29-29, the side that scores the 30th point shall win that game. * The side winning a game serves first in the next game. * When one side reaches 11 points, both players get a 60 second break. * Both sides get a 2-minute break between first and second games, and another 2-minute break between second and third game. For doubles matches, the rules are: * One service only.* Back service line remains and the current rule applies. | |||||||||
