Instead of changing the scoring system, why doesn't the IBF use this opportunity to try plastic :eek: shuttles in tournaments to change the length of the game.
IIRC the balls at Wimbledon were changed to slow them down on the grass courts.
 
The use of synthetic shuttles is way overdue. The cruel practice of extracting feathers from birds is barbaric. It's not beyond science to create a suitable shuttle, even if they would break after a game or two. I have introduced newly manufactured shuttles like Bird 2, Bird 3 and Apacs to three clubs over the past 8 years and overall it's been about 50/50 willingness to accept them. People generally don't like change but they should see it as an opportunity.
 
FISU World University Games are using the 3x15 scoring. Su Li Yang with an unexpected exit 15-17 15-17 in 36 minutes. Many different ways that you can read into that.

It’s not as simple the synthetic feathers feel completely different. I’ve played with the NCS Pro on a lot of different occasions but 90% of the time the shuttles are too slow during drives and drops. Plus most of the feathers are taken from goose/duck being eaten, that’s why they’re so expensive now because of a drop in demand for the birds.
 
They should test both 15 x 3 and 11 x 5.

Testing just one and not the other is not exactly open minded.
