a friend and i was talking about the new scoring system and how it would mess up the game --- that it will become a very negative play it safe game, that singles will not aim the lines etc.

and we thought about how to change it, and he said, why dont do it similar to tennis? keep the 15 points game but have a 5mins break at 8points at every set and 5min after each set. this way the players will play all out during the 8 points because they have a 5mins rest to look forward to!

what do you all think? i seriously think it could work, the only negative thing is that player wont be able to take many "mini breaks" that they are entitled to right now.

if we all think it's a good idea, then maybe kwun can represent us and write a letter to IBF. :cool:

that is a good idea but not now. IBF just came out with the new scoring system. Let's give it a chance. Dont give them a headache just yet.

That almost looks like the old system of 5x7 :p If you're going to have a 5 minute break at 8 why not just call it a set? (because then there would be something to play for and you can't go allout without there being consequences; just answered my own question :D ) Gade favors the 5x7, Mia was starting to like it and then they changed it back.
Agree with Ants: new system needs a chance first.
