Bulutangkis.com - THE Badminton World Federation will investigate scuffles that marred last week's men's singles final at the Korea Open and will consider introducing technologies used in tennis and cricket.
Anne Smillie, chair of the BWF sport committee, has called for a full report and said such incidents were happening too often.
Last Sunday's final of the Super Series event between China's Lin Dan and eventual winner Lee Hyun-Il of South Korea featured a number of line calls overruled by the umpire, which led to scuffles and heated exchanges.
''All of this is damaging to the image of our sport and undermines confidence in the results,'' Anne said in a statement.
''Players, coaches, technical officials and team officials at court side have a code of behaviour to follow.''
''The game needs to be exciting and closely fought, but we all want to see the result determined by the players, not by courtside officials - or who can argue the loudest.''
She said the BWF would look at other options to take the heat out of official decisions, including technologies used in tennis and cricket.
BWF deputy president Datuk Punch Gunalan said: ''In this Olympic year, when badminton will be under the microscope in Beijing, the players need to be confident that the game is officiated professionally, while respecting the technical officials' decisions.''
The BWF will hold meetings at the next Super Series event, the All England Open in Birmingham in March, where the issue of technology will be discussed.
The sport committee is also talking to referees and umpires to look at the possibility of having independent umpires operating as line judges during major semi-finals and finals.
