^^Be careful..^^ ..there are some BCers, in the crowd, who watched those matches and in some cases might not agree with the umpires' or line judges' calls...
Maybe out of topic a little, but recently in the US Open (tennis), Novak Djokovic got distracted by the crowd when he tried to serve. They were shouting and this really annoyed him. He lose the game and went on to lose the match to Roger Federer. However, we do not see this in badminton. Professional badminton players seems to be unfazed by the crowd.
tennis players need to toughen up australian archers deliberately train with people actively trying to distract them. helps their concentration.
Noise between rallies is fine, but I prefer dead silence when I'm playing. The snooker approach wouldn't be bad either. Clapping at good shots/rallies but keeping quiet for the majority of the time.
What about using music instrument ? Drum, cymbals, trumpet ? that's quite annoying. i prefer noise beetween rallies.
I don't think loud is a good thing for when people are playing (even in between rallies). The reason for this is because it might a) make the guy who's the butt of all of the insults from the crowd nervous (and might not make for a good match) or b) make the guy who's getting all the praise nervous and make him mess up. Just my opinion.
When djokovic couldnt absorbed the pressure,that 's his problem.Got nothing to do with the audience.Correct me if i was wrong.I think the audience payed for the game. Nature of fans is to support and cheered.If an athlete declared himself a pro,act like one.
Even when I'm playing, I would always prefer loud and crazy one! Why? These crowds get me fired up, even in the rally. Silent crowd makes me lost my fighting spirit T.T... Crowds in my School is just as crazy as number 1! (Loud in rallies, but sometimes they're suddenly becoming silent)
My personal opinion on this : I think that most of the time the crowd should be reasonably quiet , clapping and cheering at good shots sometimes in the rallys , clapping between the rallies aswell. But sometimes isn't it good , when the rally is massive , and everyone cheers before the smashes? I think overall the sounds should be limited whilst the players are serving etc... , and that the majority of rallies people stay at a reasonable level. But sometimes when the rallies are just that bit more extra special people can cheer
INA fans make loud noises at all times anywhere on earth... I saw INA fans [probably from the Indonesian Embassy there] shout loudly throughout the match in the Russian Open [Moscow].... ... at the Athens Olympics and in the Sydney Olympics too... INA fans all share the same code of conduct. We bring Istora to you, wherever you are...
Rarely has an army or a warrior fought wrapped in silence Without (a lot of) sound, a contest would lose its excitement.
I really like the crowd cheering in between rallies, but during a rally, I think it would be better for the crowd to stay quite - however, after smashes and other special things I think crowds can make short bursts of noise, because after all, its a crowd, and people want to get excited =D So I guess my opinion is make noise, but don't be obnoxious or overly disctractive about it.
i went to all england on the 5th of March. have to say was impressed with all our asian people cas we all were very loud but all the english people were too quite. i think you need to cheer your teams to support them and incourage them. so i think loud is deffinetly thumbs up but i think you should only be loud in between rallies like Tennis. well thats my opinion : )
well it's great that badminton was overwhelming ...let's hope one day it can match the football crowds
When I voted, I voted that fans should stay quiet in between rallies like tennis. (I'm also a tennis player and I watch a lot of tennis) But then I realized, that cheering when players are smashing or when there is a really good rally is somewhat unique to badminton. (Although I am an avid ping pong player, I do not watch ping pong competitions so I don't know how the fans are in ping pong.) Badminton as it is right now has a really fun atmosphere and as a player, I would want the fans to be drawn to the match. To the people that say that the fans should cheer in between rallies: Although this may be ideal, but in many (all) badminton tournaments, matches are going on right next to each other. It's not like each rally is finishing at the exact same time. Yes, in between rallies would still decrease the noise, but it's not like the fans are cheering to distract the players. They are cheering to root for their player(s). Country pride runs strong.
I hope badminton will get larger, but I don't know about football crowds. How will all of them fit? They won't be able to see the match. The court is too small. Yes, I know you didn't really mean football crowds. Or did you? Ha. No, but seriously, I want to see the day where badminton players start earning more.
well i watch quite a lot Football or i should say Soccer games & the rord play a big part , they cheer , clap , dance & what so evr crazy stuff can be seen too hahaha....for e.g. when Messi or Kaka showing thier skills everyone whethere they are supporting the home or away sides wil get excited..i don't know bout Badminton but certainly Soccer have lots of Drama in it......we should even given C. Ronaldo an Oscar during 06 World Cup for his provocation action..
