Zii Jia welcomes 15-point scoring, but Antonsen isn't buying it
KUALA LUMPUR: Lee Zii Jia has yet to test the new 15-point scoring system, which will officially replace the 21-point format in January, but is giving the shorter version his thumbs up.
KUALA LUMPUR — Lee Zii Jia has expressed positive views on the new 15-point scoring system, set to replace the 21-point format starting in January. However, his best friend, Danish world No. 2 Anders Antonsen, believes the shorter matches will diminish the excitement, intense battles, and roller-coaster rides that characterize the current 21-point format. The Malaysia Open, scheduled from January 21-31, will be the first World Tour event to use the new scoring system introduced by the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
