Will wipe off few players, benefit few others: Gopichand on badminton's 15x3 format
Speaking about BWF's decision to replace the traditional 21x3 scoring system with 15x3 format, Badminton coach Pullela Gopichand said the new format will "wipe off" a few players, while benefitting a few others. He noted not giving away points will be more important than scoring points, adding, "The speed and the power and the focus need to be top notch."
