PETALING JAYA: The Badminton World Federation’s (BWF) plan to introduce new 3x15 scoring system continues to generate debate over whether it will benefit the sport’s biggest stakeholders, which is the players. 2 women’s doubles player M. Thinaah said she sees no harm in giving the system a try, especially for women’s doubles, which is often associated with long, drawn-out matches. "I think it's no harm trying it because it's something new. It won't hurt to try. But I definitely know that games will be faster and might even be more intense because the points are shorter than 21, right?
