Badminton’s world governing body announced today that it will not be implementing the Instant Review System – badminton’s alternative to Hawk-Eye, which will eventually enable players to challenge line judges’ calls – in the upcoming Indonesian Open. The technology is apparently needing more tests before it is given the green light in an official tournament.
“We have undergone some really good testing at both the Maybank Malaysia Open and the Li-Ning Sudirman Cup and, though we envisaged being ready to go live with an instant review system at the BWF Superseries Premier in Indonesia, we have determined it best to delay its introduction. We want to revisit some technical aspects and engage in further testing,” explained Thomas Lund, Secretary General of the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
The technology will, however, be tested in Indonesia.
