The new system, ratified by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) at its annual general meeting on Saturday, means players will need 15 points to win a game instead of 21, with matches played under a best-of-three format. The BWF has said the change is aimed at producing shorter and more interesting matches, benefiting players through reduced physical load while offering broadcasters and organisers scheduling flexibility.
