Evilution has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Re: badminton


I'm not into sport so I don't know how the scoring system works with Badmington but I am confused.

If China were winning at one point with 17 points, how did they finish the game with 16?

Re: badminton


My understanding is, first team over 20 wins, if its 20-19 then there must be a 2 point difference before the game is won.

But what a come back

Re: badminton


Exactly. If the score is 20-20, it becomes first to 22. If the score is 21-21 then its first to 23 etc etc..

Re: badminton


I think it would go on until 2 clear points are achieved, no matter how long it takes! Its similar to tennis. If its the final set in a match, there isn't a tiebreak, its just whoever wins by 2 clear games. There was one at Wimbledon last year that lasted about 5 hours because the final set was something like 19-17!

It's up to a maximum of 30 points. So if it gets that far, a team will win 30-29.
