I just came back from playing badminton. In the club, we just play for fun, but sometimes we play a few matches (matches are fun ;) ), and today we played using the new scoring system. I had never used that before, so it felt weird...I kept forgetting that every point counted, and we seemed to lose points really quickly, and then catch up pretty quickly as well! It’s kinda dangerous, I guess :P Maybe I should be used to this kind of system since it is really similar to the table-tennis scoring system (duh, first table-tennis changes from 21 points to 11, then badminton decides to copy it’s old scoring system! Okay, not exactly...) but then when I think badminton I think a different scoring system! lol
(If you want to know more about the scoring system, I suggest you take a look at Wikipedia, I took a look at the article to understand the system, since I didn't quite understand it while playing earlier :P)
PS: I really think it's crazy to change the scoring system this way...it kills traditional badminton! I mean, the game is hardly the same any more! At least in table-tennis the change only shortened the game and nothing else... anyway, whatever. It's not like I have a say in it :/
