According to some news, the new scoring system was supposed to put in action at the beginning of this year. But the first 3 tournaments happen to be in Europe, the people over there dislike the new 21 points scoring system. They refuse to adopt the new system. So 21 points will be used when tournaments go back to Asia.It was European guys proposed 7 points first, but Asian badminton organizations and their supporters didn't like it. They want the 21 points system. When the Asian guys took control of the IBF recently, they trashed the 7 points system, and enforced 21 points instead. That's also the reason the official www.worldbadminton.net (In England) down suddenly without any coorperation with the new site. The new site is in south east Asia. Now Gade, as the leader who strongly against 21 points, asked the IBF go back to the 7 points system, or have a referendum on this issue. But the issue is who's vote can be counted.
