held by the racket and then it is slung while executing the stroke. In nutshell, there needs to be
three things for a shot to be called as a carrying foul:

2. When the shuttle is caught on the racket.

SCORING INTRO

2002 scoring system 5 × 7:

· In 2002, BWF experimented with a different and unpredictable scoring system to improve the
commercial and especially the broadcasting appeal of the sport. This scoring system required
lengthy time for matches. This scoring system shortened games to 5 sets having 7 points each.

· The winner would be the best of five. When the score reached 6–6, the player who first reached
six could elect to set it to eight points. Since the match time remained an issue and this scoring
system was abandoned and replaced by the traditional scoring system. The 2002
Commonwealth games is the last event that used this system.
