BANGKOK: The Badminton World Federation (BWF) council’s proposal to change the game’s scoring system did not get the go-ahead yesterday. For the scoring system to be changed, 168 votes are needed. A related proposal to reduce on-court coaching and have time-outs was subsequently withdrawn, given its integration with the scoring-system innovation. Under the current format, Malaysia’s top players have done well, including at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. KW: badminton, BWF, scoring system
