It hasn't evolved naturally. This is a change imposed by fiat. You seriously cannot tell the difference? Tactical, at the expense of...
Counting by serve, it was 16-3 or so in the 2nd game, I lost count towards the end. It got to 15-1 before LCW managed to salvage some pride....
No kidding!! I hope you will remember this 2 years down the road when the polling numbers for the NSS breaks through the 50% barrier! :) I...
Not true. In fact, false. Eh. Not so, here in the US. This is not evolution, this is breeding. No.
:) No arguments there. A win is a win, and if you are legitimately the last man standing, doesn't matter how, when, where, or why!
I have been agreeing with people that say "the new system is faster". But I suspect we have been meaning different things. To me, it just _ends_...
Thanks very much. That does seem quite definitive. rally21 is the BWF default, but if tournament organizers want to run 3x15, there is nothing...
I've heard that too, but I haven't been able to find any proof. Could you point me to some official webpage or document or something that says...
Ah, I didn't mean to say that whoever uses the rally system is a beginner, only that it is well suited for beginners. If I had my druthers, even...
Not even if you chant that a hundred more times! :) Vehemently disagree. NSS is best suited for beginners, for 2-on-1 drills, and possibly to...
Okay.. but that doesn't have anything to do with rally scoring, does it? If one wanted to, one could simply have had 30 second breaks after every...
The problem is that the better the match, the less predictable the match duration becomes. When I was watching Agassi's last match at the US...
Why? I keep hearing this, but I don't understand it. Would someone please explain to me why it is that one would focus more on a serve in a...
Thanks for the pointer. That's fascinating.
I would say rather that there is a limit on the number of rallies in NSS (59 max per game), and on the number of points in OSS (17 max per game).
Isn't it the case that setting in NSS is the same as not setting at 14-all in OSS? If you keep exchanging serves in NSS, you and your opponent...
I agree with this, but not for the reason you quote. When someone who has adapted to NSS is made to play OSS, I have noticed that invariably the...
New system gets boring fast. Old system is classic badminton.
It goes both ways -- how about people who have been disillusioned by the NSS and can't change their vote now? Anyway, strictly for amusement,...
Well said. Agree completely. With the new system, as soon as you run up a big early lead, the game is essentially over. The Last Point _should_...
