To enhance the marketability of the sports, and based on the analysis of real match data from the BWF Major Championships and World Tour tournaments over several years against several different scoring system options, BWF has analyzed several new scoring systems including the present to propose. a) 3x21 b) 2 x 21 & 1x11 c) 5 x 11 points d) 3x15. BWF Council believes the 3 x 15 system best balances the key criteria mentioned above.
The BWF Council suggests a plan to implement a practical trial of the 3 x 15 (setting to 21) system at specific Continental Championships, Grade 3 tournaments, national and international leagues, and national tournaments from around April to September/October 2025. During the testing phase, BWF will conduct surveys with key stakeholders at each event, along with a comprehensive survey of all Members, Athletes’ Commissions (players), technical officials, and commercial partners towards the end of the trial period.
The BWF Council will reach a final decision on whether to present this new system to the BWF Annual General Meeting in 2026.
In 2021,during 82nd BWF AGM, the scoring system to 11 x 5 (best of 5, with 11 points to win a game) was proposed and forwarded by the Indonesian Badminton Association. The 11×5 proposal garnered 66.31% votes in favor and 33.69% against, falling just shy of the required two-thirds majority (66.67%).
