JAKARTA Indonesian badminton legend Ricky Soebagdja sees the 21st point rally system currently being used is still more ideal when compared to 3 x 15 who want to be tested.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) previously announced that it would test the 3 x 15 score system as an alternative to the current system that has been in use since 2006.
Ricky said that he did not know the detailed plans regarding the implementation of the 3 x 15 point system, but according to him the system was too short.
"I think it's very fast. So, hopefully it doesn't change because apart from adaptation, it's not easy for important matches," said Ricky.
The trial plan is to be carried out because BWF considers the 3 x 15 system to be much more attractive. Points per game are less. This will make the match more dynamic while shortening the time of the match.

Ricky said that the change in the points count system would definitely go through a socialization process to member countries before it was officially implemented.
"Poin 21 I feel still quite good, it's been going on for quite a while. Hopefully it doesn't happen and it's still at 21 points. Personally, point 21, it's still quite ideal," he said.
The 3 x 15 point system makes the match end at 15th point per game. The player who won the most wins from three sets (best of 3) will come out victorious.
The rally points are planned to continue to be used in this system. The interval or break in each set is carried out in the eighth point.
If there is a draw score of 14, then a brace will be carried out until the distance of the points is two. Maximum deduction is played up to 21.
The trial of this system will only be implemented in selected continental championships, Grade 3 national and international league tournaments, as well as national tournaments which will take place between April and September or October 2025.
The final decision regarding the implementation of the new score system will be determined at the BWF Annual General Meeting in 2026.
