Indonesia Badminton

I don't know how short-handed they were with umpires, but to avoid exactly this kind of situation it would've been very nice to not send an English one into this match.
Yeah, it does invite accusations, even if they're unfounded.

For me, the human element in service judging is not a positive though, all it does is add inconsistency. They cant express personality as they hardly interact with the players or game, sometimes not at all.
Maybe a hybrid then? For now automate the height rule (since it's still the most complained about) and leave the human to focus on other types of fault.

A cyborg service judge would look kind of cool (in my head I see Robocop!)
 
Not sure what the exact law is, but simple ethics dictate you really shouldn't get a cab when a test says you might be positive, yeah. But that's never stopped a bunch of dramatic, self-centered crybabys from complaining...

treating one as positive without one being positive is stupid. In entails 2 different things.

BWF can just allow them to board the bus and spray it after. Finished. Maybe you are not treated that way , so you didnt feel anything. Callous.

sitting or standing? haha...

in addition to the current service judge system use a projector to project a line across the servers body @ 1.15m. then use video replay when a player is challenging the service judges call.

sounds like a cost effective addition that could be easily implemented. projectors are cheap.

The bus does not belong to the BWF.
 
Don't know where they got 11 from, I skipped and may have overlooked a couple but only counted a few. Is that a parody site or sth?
Also, we're talking about the guy who didn't serve at legal height a single time until the rule change came about. Just like Morten said at the end - Ahsan consistently gets faulted. However if I were the BWF I'd get an automated system running (that can't be intimidated by players either) just to shut up the somewhat reasonable parts of fan bases, really should be doable with modern image/video processing.

Apologies for no further clarification on this as I avoid matches of English MD pairs like a plague.
 
11 SERVICE FAULTS for Ahsan/Setiawan by English Service Judge ALAN CROW against England's Number two MD pair Lane/Vendy.

Some people have put some videos on YouTube just showing the faults - looks like there were 5 in total for Ahsan which over the course of 3 games isn't a lot for him since he gets faulted quite often anyway.

The "11" is simply not true.





I don't think Hendra was called even once for his serve?

If anyone really feels inclined to count for themselves here's the full match:

english player with english service judge, very well
 
Gloria/Hafiz is done deal not going to Tokyo? BWF sabotaged the Asian countries.
Gloria/Hafiz is wasting their chances by losing so many tournaments before...

I was watching an Ahsan/Setiawan match from Thailand randomly the other night (I forgot which one of the 3 tournaments it was). They did not play an English pair and there was definitely no English umpires there if I recall correctly. But Ahsan got faulted in that match too. So to say that the SJ was cheating for the English pair is a bit ludicrous.
 
Huge success for INA B Team, 4 titles and 2 runner up from Spain Master Super 300

Any reason why Kusumawardana/ Rambitan have no branding on their kit/racket?
They don't have any apparel sponsorship yet, so they just use plain t-shirt. As for the rackets, maybe there some kind of rules from bwf that forbid players to show any logo without them being under contract with the manufacturer company.
 
Chico lost in the final…

Since he can beat his senior in the semi, he should have been more aggressive & could have won that Spain Master title to sweep all titles for INA. What a lost cause!!

Thanks for the info.
Really impressed with Putri's game, would like to see her play against more experienced players. Line was very error prone in the match and barely put up any fight.
