In badminton international competitions, sentences pronounced like "July 7" before scoring are used to score points. Specifically, this means that the score in the game is seven to seven, that is, both sides get seven points.

In badminton, the score is in units of ten, so when the score reaches seven to seven, the scorekeeper will read "July 7" to inform the audience and players of the current score. At the same time, when grading, raters will also use corresponding English words to express different grading situations, such as "love" for zero, "fifth" for fifteen and so on.
