New Scoring System

The latest scoring system newly introduced, will be implemented in the upcoming Thomas/Uber Cup.

Under the 21-point format, a point is awarded for a rally won and whoever scores the point holds service.

At 20-all, deuce will be called and the player who wins two consecutive points wins the game. If the score remains at 29-all, then the tie-break is used and the first person to reach 30 wins the match.

For the doubles, the winner of a rally holds service but there will be no second server.

Misbun: The attacking players hold the advantage under this format. The players are constantly under pressure because they cannot make mistakes and it lacks tactical play. But it does end quickly.
