Now for many people in Indonesia, badminton is suddenly a matter of life or death. Why so serious? It doesn't count Olympic points after all and many good players already withdrew. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly this became a fight between Indonesian against Western aggresors. With the Danish/Indian false positive case, some even started a conspiracy that BWF just want to stop Indonesian from winning titles (as if the Indonesians can sweep the titles ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary it exploded how bad the English committee to organize a tournament. The committee should feel ashamed that it became such a mess. But Indonesian players are innocent victims indeed especially Jonathan defeated the talented Thai play in the first round. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,465 Posted April 4, 2021 #18 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Badminton’s scoring system might change soon. Proposal from Badminton Indonesia/Badminton Maldives would make games best of 5, with sets to 11 points.

No athlethe wants that boring system which kills the coemback in a game and returns to 2000s where a similiar scoring was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
