PUTRAJAYA: All-England champion Lee Zii Jia says aye to the proposed shorter-but-explosive scoring format. Armed with a great attacking prowess, the 23-year-old Zii Jia believes he is one of those players who can ace the 11-point, best-of-five game system. The Badminton World Federation (BWF) are proposing to replace the existing 21x3 with the new 11x5 format after the Tokyo Olympics. While admitting that it will benefit him, Zii Jia does not want to get too excited. “The format will suit my game as attacking is my forte, ” said Zii Jia.
