Badminton’s 3×15 scoring for all domestic tournaments, to debut at Ernakulam

3 min readJul 2, 2026 09:43 PM IST The first tournament with Badminton World Federation (BWF)’s 15×3 scoring system in India after the format was approved, will be the Yonex-Sunrise All India Senior Ranking Badminton Tournament, scheduled to be held in Regional Sports Centre, Ernakulam, from July 7 to 14. “The move is aimed at ensuring Indian shuttlers transition seamlessly into the new format, adapt early to its tactical and physical demands, and sustain the success and competitive edge that has defined India’s rise as a badminton powerhouse globally,” a Badminton Association of India press release said. Under the revised format, matches will continue to be played as best-of-three games under rally-point scoring, but each game will now be played to 15 points instead of 21. A two-point lead remains mandatory from 14-all, with games capped at 21 points, where the next point becomes decisive at 20-all (earlier 30-29). The traditional mid-game interval will now take place when the leading player or pair reaches 8 points, accompanied by a change of ends in the third …

The Ousmane Dembele show: The art of minimalism and scoring goals | Football News

The Ousmane Dembele show: The art of minimalism and scoring goals | Football News

Published by Webster

A step to his left; a nudge further to his left, a pause, a swing of his left-foot, and just like that, Ousmane Dembele scored the most frictionless hat-trick in a World Cup. It took just three shots for three goals, and when he struck the third, the clock had just passed 32 minutes. The build-up was all about his strike partner Kylian Mbappe and his match-up with Erling Haaland. But Dembele, his expressions as languidly minimalistic as his movements, offered a gentle reminder that the Ballon d’Or, after all, is safely secure in his shelf, in the 4-1 thrashing of Norway. He might not have the aura of Mbappe or the hype of Haaland; the 29-year-old was a later bloomer that almost did not bloom; he was a figure of petulance past managers dreaded to handle, though none disputed his ridiculous abilities. He is two-footed, tricksy, quick and inventive; he presses intensely, his off-the-ball output is incredible. It’s just that his long, and sometimes frustrating, maturation period, had made him something of a second …

Buttler on Sooryavanshi scoring 11-ball fifty for India A: ‘Cricket’s too easy’

Published by Webster

4 min readJun 24, 2026 10:13 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi remains the talk of the cricketing world even as India get ready for a two-match T20I series against Ireland starting on Friday. England wicket-keeper batsman and former captain Jos Buttler was amazed at how the 15-year-old bounced back after a physical altercation with Sri Lanka A players in the tri-series in Dambulla and broke the record for the fastest-ever fifty scored in 50-over List A cricket in the final. The left-hander got to his half-century in 11 balls and finished on 94 from 29 balls to lay the foundation for India A to reach a massive score of 377/9, which proved too much in the end. “He was involved in a heated post-match clash after India A’s Super Over defeat to Sri Lanka A. The 15-year-old exchanged a few words and briefly shoved a Sri Lankan player following reported sledging during the match. So the cricket authority stepped in quickly with warnings and disciplinary reviews following the incident, but he has instantly redeemed himself in …

pundits on Ronaldo’s World Cup problem

4 min readUpdated: Jun 18, 2026 09:29 AM IST Thierry Henry was precise. Analysing Portugal’s performance on FOX, the former Arsenal striker and 1998 World Cup winner with France broke down a second-half passage of play involving Francisco Conceição and Bruno Fernandes to explain what Ronaldo is doing wrong. “One thing that’s important — the team needs to score, it’s not you who needs to score,” Henry said. “Look here. Portugal has the ball, Conceição is going to receive the ball. If Ronaldo makes that run in the opposite direction of the ball, he forces the defender to make a decision. But because he wants to score, he goes in Bruno Fernandes’ path. If he went to that small area, the defender would have to follow him, and then it would be an easy tap-in for Bruno Fernandes. But because he wants to score, he crosses the path of the back pass — you see the two players and it becomes easier for the defence to intercept. The team needs to score, not you. Did …

Messi challenging for the ball, studs catching Algerian captain Aïssa Mandi on the right calf, Mandi going down in pain. Polish referee Szymon Marciniak awarded a foul. No card. VAR did not intervene. Messi apologised. Mandi received treatment and continued. Messi then scored twice more in the second half, completing his first hat-trick in six World Cup appearances and equalling Miroslav Klose’s all-time tournament record of 16 goals. The incident overshadowed the result before the night was over. On ESPN, former Venezuelan international Alejandro Moreno was unequivocal. “It’s a 100 per cent red card for Lionel Messi. It should have been,” he said. “We don’t even have to see the still. If you see the live video, it felt like a bad challenge. Then you see the replay — this is a bad challenge. Why was Marciniak not called over to review it? You’re raking the back of somebody’s calf all the way up from the knee down to the …

His innings helped RR post 225/6 but it wasn’t enough as DC with the help of KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka, chased down the target and won by 7 wickets. “I don’t think I need to answer any critics or anyone talking about it. But at the end of the day, my job is to get two points. So my score and my innings don’t really matter if we lose the game,” Parag said after the match, reacting to a question on if he answered his critics. “I think it was a good score. I thought 200 was a par score here. It was going to slow down a bit, but I think we could have bowled way better in the middle overs, not let them get away …

Satwik’s scoring idea gets an unlikely endorsement — from arch rival Weikeng | Badminton News

Published by Webster

When arch rivals agree, it’s worth paying attention. Liang Weikeng, who could line up on the opposite side of the net from Satwiksairaj Rankireddy in Wednesday’s Thomas Cup group tie, told China’s CCTV on Monday that he was in favour of Satwik’s nuanced idea — using the 21×3 format for the five Super 1000s, and sticking to 15×3 for the lower tournaments, Super 750 downwards. Not unlike tennis, where Grand Slams are played over five sets while ATP Tour events are decided over three. Satwik had told BWF in January — a video Weikeng came across only over the weekend — that “21 is good enough in the Super 1000 because from next year it will be two-week-long tournaments with a break in between. So it will be good enough. But in the lower tournaments — the 500s, 300s — the 15×3 is good so our bodies can recover.” The BWF had announced recently that Super 1000s at China, Indonesia, Malaysia, All England and Denmark would run over 11 days instead of the current six, …
