BAI Adopts New 3x15 Scoring System Across Domestic Tournaments To Prepare Indian Shuttlers
All India Senior Ranking Badminton: In a bid to prepare Indian shuttlers well ahead of the Badminton World Federation's (BWF) planned global rollout, the Badminton Association of India (BAI) will introduce the new 3x15 scoring system across all domestic tournaments from July 2026, beginning with the All India Senior Ranking Badminton Tournament in Ernakulam from July 7-14.
The early adoption aims to give players, coaches, and technical officials sufficient competitive exposure to the revised format before it becomes the international standard from January 2027. BAI believes the move will help Indian badminton maintain its competitive edge by ensuring athletes adapt to the tactical and physical demands of the shorter format well in advance.
Under the revised rules, matches will continue to follow a best-of-three-games, rally-point format, but each game will now be played to 15 points instead of 21. A player or pair must still win by two points after 14-all, with each game capped at 21 points, where the next point after 20-all decides the winner.
