its getting ridiculous: i live in poor ukraine: every other 10yo child here has a high def phone camera with 100fps slow mo playback feature, yet the billion dollar international badminton championships apparently can't afford them. It is time to remove the thorn that has been at the heart of badminton since its inception : human eyes cannot judge split second events. What we are seeing now is a pure measure of how buracracy and stupid old-farts impede progress. The day when its ruled humans don't make line or net fault calls will be one of the best in pro badminton history.

Some context, because IMO it's amazing how it turns out. LCY vs Ginting (4:29) match in Hong Kong Open 2019 happens before HKV vs LCY (3:38) match in Toyota Thailand Open 2020. I couldn't forgot LCY vs Ginting match because it's a match point on a final match, and I was really mad that we have no VAR. Ginting has tendencies to do net battle like that, so it is difficult for the umpire to judge if they are inexperienced. Now, fast forward to Toyota Thailand Open 2020, which is held in 2021 because of COVID-19. Ginting lost against LCY in R16. By counting the tour points, it is unlikely that Ginting will qualify to the World Tour Final 2020. However, the next day, in HKV vs LCY match, HKV ends up winning. It also coincidentally happens (mirroring LCY vs Ginting), that LCY was at disadvantage due to bad umpire call, in a critical point (rubber game 19-19). LCY ends up losing to HKV. The plot twist was, by losing, LCY didn't qualify for World Tour Final, and causing Ginting to barely qualify as the last MS in World Tour Final 2020, which was held in 2021, also in Thailand.

Thank you for the video. Unlikely VAR will be installed soon as it will lead to additional time off court just as with Hawkeye.

In such situations, either a let be called into play or if there was instant replay on the big screen, the Umpire is allowed to reverse his/her wrong decision.

So just 2-3mins off is going to affect the game. And var is supposed to be used for controversial decisions. How many controversial decisions are there in a match. Maybe at most 3-4? 3.5 * 1.5 is around 5. So 5 mins is going to affect the game?

Now that we have some ground rules for our discussion and others to read and follow, let us look into it further. Players are allowed to lodge an official complain ONLY after the match (players know it very well, their on-court antics, technically, in a form of time delay) the Umpire decision still stand during the game. Tournament referee cannot overrule the Umpire decision simply because he/she does not seat next to the Umpire during a match and the Umpire decision is final in a match. The game is to be continuous.

There is no indication as to how high that line is during the game. Service judge is the only person who can see where that line is, but the players, the umpire, and the spectators all have no clue. Why don't BWF at least draw a line on the net to indicate this line? Better still, use some laser leveling projection device during the serve so that everyone can see where that line is, and provide some reference for the challenging system in case players got called for serve violation. Currently players cannot challenge for serve violation and net fault calls, which is stupid because the technology for these challenges are already available.

I mean, whats the point of having a video replay, if it cant change a wrong decision? Umpire is only human after all.

This is ridiculous that TV broadcast can do it, meaning the audience at home can see the truth but the judges have to rely on their limited eye sights. Utterly ridiculous.

Some people are playing badminton. Some people are playing the officials.

Wonder whether those umpire ever played badmintom before. How can they call fault when net doesn't move or swing at all.

[@jurongtiger717]

it's not workable. Umpire will have to let the game continue even as they spot a fault because the players will stop any attempt to carry on playing once a fault is raised. Scenario: Player A hit the shuttle and the umpire raises a fault. Player B naturally doesn't attempt to retrieve the shuttle despite being well positioned to do so. VAR or VAUmpire determines Player A did not commit any fault. Well then who do you award this point to? Every contentious point will stop play from continuing while VAR or VAUmpire reviews the footage. Badminton is vastly different from football as referees can allow ''advantage play on'' and correct any mistakes during a break in play or the lines man does not have to flag an offside immediately and VAR can rule out any offside goal after the goal is scored.

On 6:21 isn’t it a faulty serve? Is his racket not too high? Top of the racket has to be under the lowest rib right? I know that’s not what the umpire called but I’m genuinely asking if that’s allowed
