WC2007, what changes would you like to see?

Whether or not your wish is possible:

1. Possible.
2. Not possible.
3. Possible but not probable.
4. Possible but not probable due to a person name "Chen Jin".
5. Extremely, very remotely possible but not at all probable.
6. Possible but not probable.

 

One "big" wish i want to see is...

..hmm, the first one might "sound off the wall", but how abt...

7. I want to see Zhou Mi plays and competes for Malaysia. And by doing so, hopefully she can reach the Final & she'll win over (most likely) a CHN player, in front of her "new" country. And in front of LiYongBo...

8. Tony and Candra compete for 1 last time together..

(btw, mods might possibly join this thread in the WC 2007 subforum)??..

 

Wish List:

1. Control the drift/wind inside the stadium

2. Fu/Cai take the MD Title, again.

3. Chen Jin takes the MS Title (one of many to come).

4. Taufik participates.

5. Full Time Radar Gun that shows the speed of every shuttle exchange and then posts the speed (after the point is over, in order of velocity and then flash) on the big screen, "Fastest Shot: 340kph!"

6. Gillian Clark.

7. Tony Gunawan and Kim Dong Moon team up.

 

Wish list is most of what y'll have already mention plus:
1) extra training for match officials especially line judges prior to tournament
2) new and innovative TV angles/graphics
3) breakthrough for a Euro-born female singles player, who can win in a hostile, foreign environment (are MAS fans hostile? )
4) new world record for smash speed!!!

 

Just get good referees and lines man should have played and must be playing badminton for the last 3 years regularly... For some reason they get crappy people to judge at international games???? and lastly some good crowd man... some booin clappin or cheerin whatever theres a need to vest more interest...

 

Yeah the corwd was like dead, not literally, but it was kind of boring.

 

..i'm sure this will happen in next yr's WC..As witnessed in last yr's S'pore Open(Gosh, i really love that atmosphere last yr)...I'll be quite surprised if the crowds are not into the matches and there are no balloon clappers and drummers...Oh my, i can imagine it already..

 

1. China take all 5 titles (LD, Fu/Cai and Zhang/Gao especially) ~ sorry ~
2. Fu breaking world record (it could be broken by someone before next year)
3. Better atmosphere created by the crowd (i'm sure it will)
4. More camera angles/replays
5. ??? No dancing between matches on Finals Day

That's my wish-list for Santa

 

1. Back to the 15 pt systems.

2. LYB wants to dominate XD also - team up XXF/LD.

3. Ban verbal abuse including from coaches.

 

Ohhhhhhh yes! This is the most important one.

 

Hehe, i prefer 15 too

 

There are basically two kinds of systems: one is the stable system, the other is the un-stable system.

The stable system is such a system, when there is a fluctuation, the system will return back to its original state, such as a ball inside a bowl.

The unstable system will be further away from its original state if there is a fluctuation, such as a ball in the top of the hill. The instability will have a increasing growth rate, so that the unstable system cannot controlled.

The old 15pt system is unstable, one is the points for serving, the other is the winner to serve. Imaging if one guy is extremely good at serving, but cannot return any serve. He still can win easily and very quickly if he serves first. He can also lose badly and very quickly if the other player serves first. So the final results will be largely depend on the initial state. If players are good at returning serves better than serving. Then the match will be lasting forever. So in a word, both the playing time and playing results are not controllable, and unfair to each players.

The current 21 point system is a stable system for playing time, because it lets every play count. But it is still unstable for the results because the winner serves forever. As in the 15 pt system, it is typical that one player can win 10 points continuously.

So I suggest in 21 pt system, one player serves 5 times, then switches to the other. After 20:20, one can serve only 1 or 2 times. That will prevent instability grow without limit.

But some people like instability, because it is more unpredictable, then you can use 15 pt system or create your own even more unstable systems.

 

Unlike tennis or to a lesser extend table-tennis, in badminton, there is no such thing as serving or receiving well. There is some disadvantage to serving in the doubles game, but it reflects volleyball much more than tennis. So no, I disagree with the serve-5-times idea. I think both the old and new systems are stable in badminton.

 

Cancel it and change it back to once every two years.

 

hire better translators!
I get goosebumps everytime I hear a lousy translator... LOL

 

Restrict the no. of players from each team to 2 players instead of the current 3. Too many games to play kill the drive of the players. LCW and PG have to face too many tough Chinese players (who get up into the last 32 and 16 easily) along the way.

 

change it back to once every two years and back to the old scoring system too!

 

hey..i like this one!!! mmm...what about WMC/LCW??
