The BWF recently intended to change the format from 21 points in three games to 15 points in three games, which Malaysian legend Lee Chong Wei strongly opposed, arguing that this would no longer be badminton.

The BWF has announced that it will test and evaluate the 15-point system in three sets of 15-point competitions in selected continental championships, BWF level 3 events (International Challenge, International Series, Future Series), national and international leagues and national championships selected this year.

Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei was recently interviewed about his thoughts on the 15-point system in three games, saying: "Personally, I don't think it's that easy to replace the existing format, especially when everyone is used to it. ”

Lee Chong Wei strongly opposed the new format, "There is no doubt that a shorter points system may benefit some players, but I think if the BWF implements this change, it will not be badminton. ”
