i will vote for new format.. i think the new system can cause more upset & make the sport of badminton more interesting & unpredictable.. anyway.. it is more fair if a player need to win by reducing mistake & not by their advantages in skill..
Er..... skill does not drop from heaven, you know. It is acquired through hours of drill and practice. You want the lazy fellow to win?
Well thats some of dumbest i've ever heard!! Of course you need stamina and skill when you are using the NSS. The difference between the OSS and NSS is that, with the OSS the matches were longer. In the NSS the matches are shorter, and I like this because: The game becomes MUCH more explosive, Now there is the possibility that TV actually want to send live from some of the tournaments because the game is much more TV friendly.
I agree the NSS will add a bit "uncertainty" in the game. However, you can't hold on to a crystal ball, and hope it will win you a champion.
The NSS has become more exciting because of a higher rate of upsets and less predictability. All games and sports use the "upset rate" to grade how exciting each game or sport is. That is why modern soccer is rated near the top as the most exciting and American football as the least exciting.
I believe many people agree that the English Premier is the most exciting to watch. Does it mean that they play the best football or are the English players technically better than everybody else?
I hope you've found the answer, but just in case you're still unsure: OSS = Old Scoring System of 15x3 NSS = New Scoring System of 21x3 We had lots of interesting (and sometimes fiery) debates (and fun) on this topic "OSS versus NSS".
OSS = one says senior, NSS = never say senior With the OSS. sometimes we have to wait more than 5 minutes for players to finish the last 1 or 2 points. Even much longer when there is a dispute. Personally I prefer & enjoy more with the NSS. I have a better chance to win my opponents who are younger & a bit better than me. But with the OSS, no way.
Mr Chan, it seems for you: OSS = Oldie Sure "Susah" NSS = Newbie Sure "Sangkok" (unsure of spelling )
There is absolutely no doubt that both scoring systems require skill, stamina, aggression, and agility; after all that's what's required at the top level. But for me, what gives the old scoring system the edge, is the mental battle that is more likely to happen because players who are behind will have more of a realistic chance of getting back into the game. This is not so with the new scoring system. You cannot tell me that someone who is 18-6 down using the new scoring system can realistically get back to win the game; whereas someone who is 12-2 down with the old scoring system can still get back and win the game if they are mentally tough enough. I know, because I have seen this happen more than once, and have been there myself in the past. Some of the sport's best matches in the past have typically been of this variety (i.e. 'comeback' matches). Isn't it sad that the dollars have become more important than the game. But hey that's the way it is. It's like an argument between the cricket purists who prefer the (5-day) test version against someone who prefers the more 'exciting' (1-day) ODI version of the game. No one will ever win. Joe P. NOTE: the cricket I am talking about here is not your typically noisy insect, but rather a beautiful game involving bat and ball; and for the record, I LOVE both forms of the game.
Haha, you don't need more stamina to beat younger players, as you can out-think them most of the time. If they do manage to beat me, then I'd say that they've deserved the win! Joe P.
The hare will now not wait for the tortoise to catch up Hi Joe P, You are correct... you reminded me of 'The Hare and the Tortoise' Story'. But with the NSS, most players have learned their lessons... If the hare is ahead, he/she will not take a nap to wait for the tortoise. Cheers... chris@ccc
NSS = Not So Sure Hi Loh, I think our Mr Chan is saying...... OSS = Oh So Sure NSS = Not So Sure I think that for a game, Badminton or any other game... the 'Not So Sure' game will be more exciting than the 'Oh So Sure' game. Cheers... chris@ccc
i think both games are equally challenging and just as fun to play...but i'm all in for the NSS...in order to have a comeback, a great, not good, GREAT player must have great mental toughness...it's just that in the NSS, you'd have to have even GREATER mental toughness for one mistake will kill you...i'm sure if you vote by the OSS, it's because you don't wanna concentrate that much XD...jkz...but on the subject of "Awesome" comebacks...wouldn't a 18-6 comeback on the NSS look more heroic and better than 12-2 comeback on the OSS?? all about the mental toughness XP!!
With the OSS, it's possible to win even after a bad start, forcing both sides to be very alert at all times. With the NSS, after around 8 points, and you're in the lead, you can relax, because it's extremely difficult to come back into the game if you're trailing by a lot of points.
shouldn't that motivate you to work harder and concentrate more to not take rallies off and relax? in the NSS if you relax, you can only win points on mistakes...and if you're at a high enough level, you're too consistant enough to not give your opponents consecutive easy points on mistakes...so neither side can relax...
