Nova said the shorter format may suit European players, who could adapt more quickly thanks to their playing style and practice routines. I have trained with them several times and in my opinion, they could gain the most from the 15-point system,” said Nova. Nova believes his charges, including Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei and Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Hui, are also capable of adapting well. If international tournaments do adopt the 15x3 format, Nova is already preparing to incorporate it into their daily training sessions. In line with her coach, Ee Wei is ready to accept any changes and will try to adapt if the 15-point system is introduced.
