Totally agree with u!..totally discouraging the opponents.Sad but true..as long as they're not "booing" too hard n of course,no violence."Jia you,jia you" or "malaysia boleh" or something like that wont do any harm.. But the perfect one will be clapping for a good game,both side,not only for their side..
a sport competition with dead silent fans are, how you say it, DEAD! there's the cheers that distract the players and then there is the cheers that motivates the players. and all this will play a part in their mental strength. imagine all sport competitions with silent spectators. what is the use of being there in the first place? the beauty of it is the emotional investment in the watching of a good match. and when you are emotional, you have to scream, and shout, and groan, and whatever noise is appropriate at the moment but no noise at all will be a bore.
I love silent matches. They're hard to find, and it's easier to lose yourself in the match, just you (and maybe your partner) and your opponent(s) and the game. It's much more enjoyable, because it's just so incredibly serene and enjoyable without interruptions or anything like that.
I strongly agree with your opinion I think professionals are already an expert at adjusting themselves in a noisy environment. Actually concentrating ability is one of the most important skills that professionals should acquire. In addition, environment where fans can express their excitement is a crucial part of sports to become a major sports and develop commercially Also, when competitive rally is going on, the audience tend to keep silent automatically to focus themselves on the game.
Loud between rallies only. As a spectator I want to hear the action as well as watch it. That is experience the match as completely as possible. Heck, if they're going to allow noise during the rally at events then they should at least serve alcohol and make it really entertaining.
Opposite for me. I want it quiet when I'm winning so I don't lose my focus and as loud as possible when I'm losing so nobody can hear me swearing.
For me i wont mind anything but if it is loud during rallies like ina open, But if the crowd are supporting me it would be better for me yes although there's pressure during the game but it would be a very fun game to play & it would be good if i win the match double bonus
Cause i've been in this situation before half of the crowd supporting me while the other half supporting my opponent, Like team event tournament is actually quite fun to play but of cos u must be in good form haha
Bottles might be thrown at the opposing players! This migjht incite a fight between opposing supporters! Others caught in between may want to escape. The herd instinct could cause a stampede, all hell may break loose and casualties could result. Examples can be found in soccer! No there is a limit and the organizers must take the necessary precautions to prevent such incidents. By and large, spectators are quite okay, even the boisterous ones. Most also want to enjoy a good rally between the players and they tend to be quieter during those moments. The unruly ones may get unfriendly stares from others!
If xXHilikusXx is what they need to shout, I don't think you need to be worried about being distracted I can't even pronounce it, much less shout it
Yah, very, very difficult to pronounce ... zzzzz zzzz???? Actually he should feel proud cause the audience may think someone new is playing on court!
Try saying it... and you'll end up hissing It would sound as if a dozen snakes had been let loose among the audience
Ok this post is sort of a combination reply to crowd noise in between action and another thread talking about the breaks in the flow of the game due to line call verifications. In hockey when there is a break in the action an organ player starts playing music to 'rev up' the fans. (In more modern arenas they just play recorded music). I know it sounds dumb but you have to remember if the goal is to sell this game in N. America you are dealing with millisecond attention spans. So it's either music or scantily clad cheerleaders. Personally I'd go with the cheerleaders. I can always bring my Ipod!
I don't think you need cheerleaders, scantily clad or not, when certain Japanese and Korean women players are around... They are distracting enough
its nice to have support wen ur playing!wen u know people r cheering 4 u!and also knowing they r enjoying the match......the only intolerable thing is the damn out call from a spectator!but since wen did a badminton player ever trust another persons judgement?even if my doubles partner shout out....i wudnt blindly leave it....i wud use my own judgement.....(cuz hes usually wrong) but still. and as a player in generally loud aswell......shout yes, or cumon after u win a rally. or encourage myself and partner when wer behind....wen the crowd see ur into it....they get more into it.
kkk doesnt need that. we cheered for him,he'll make the blurred face. he may appreciated that support off-court. well.. he did smile to the fans.after the game.
well I think this is a tough question. because if you are getting cheered at you would get more encouraged...but...soe people would find it quite distracting. So, the solution to that would be that do what the person playing wants.(loud/quiet) ps.not sure if this would help
