Sažetak
In a new era every sport is trying to adjust to new media and market demands in order to make the sport faster and more interesting for the spectators. Badminton is not an exception and there has been recent change in a scoring system from conventional 3 games to 15 points (3x15) with counting points on change service to 3 games to 21 points (3x21), with every rally counts for a point, format. The aim of this study was to compare duration of the average game playing time in four different categories (men and women singles and men and women doubles) in the old scoring system and in the new one. 152 games from Olympic Games 2004 and 119 games from Thomas and Uber Cup 2006 including the matches from the quarter finals, semi finals and the finals were analyzed. Results of the t-test showed statistically significant decrease in average game playing time in men singles (22.91 vs. 18.44 minutes) and women doubles (22.89 vs. 16.38 minutes). For men doubles there was no significant decrease in average duration of the game (20.72 vs. 18.04 minutes). For women singles, statistically significant increase of average game playing time (14.25 vs. 18.22 minutes) was found. In the old scoring system women singles was the only discipline that was played to 11 points per game, while the other disciplines were played to 15 points per game, so this could partially explain the increase in average set playing time in this discipline. Proved changes in the average game playing time should affect physiological, psychological and tactical approach to training and competition.
