    Well, LCW is on the top, and that is normal if part of badminton fans want to see and hear something exciting...And this is almost same when TH or LD on the 1st rank. I don't hate MAS, neither LCW....

    Is it coincidence to put his picture there as an illustration?


    BWF SUPER SERIES MASTERS FINALS 2008
    It's on!
    31 October 2008

    The Badminton World Federation announced today that the BWF Super Series Masters Finals 2008, with total prize money of US$500,000 will take place from 18-21 December in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.


    The announcement follows the successful negotiations, spearheaded by BWF President Dr Kang Young Joong and BWF Events Committee Chair with host nation Malaysia.

    [​IMG]“This is an extremely good outcome for our top players and it will be a chance for us to showcase again the world’s top elite players at the end of this Olympic Year,” BWF President Dr Kang said of the announcement.
    The format of the competition remains unchanged with the top eight ranked players/pairs in the Super Series ranking qualifying for the Finals. This, however, is limited to a maximum of two entries per event per member association / nation.


    Following the success of the Beijing Olympic Games, Dr Kang has made this his top priority for benefit of the players and the sport.
    “We are pleased to have brought together some quality partners for this inaugural Super Series Finals,” Dr Kang added.


    The BWF wishes to acknowledge and thank key sponsors - Yonex-Sunrise, Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) and IEC In Sports as exclusive international broadcaster, for supporting the hosting of the finals.


    The Finals reaffirm BWF’s commitment to creating a career path for players in the sport. This is the highest prize money badminton tournament to date.

    Eventough TH is not World rank No.1, but his named as Olympic and World Champion still make everybody interested to see him, so do I. TH's name is upsell the tournament as well, I think, because of his ability and attractive play.

    I don't think so after Astro Indonesia is "Rest In Peace" :(
    Indovision usually only coverage for big tournaments such as All England, TC & UC, Sudirman Cup, or World Cup. I hope TH ask his father-in-law to ask Indovision cover all SS tournaments, since Pak Agum is on of Board of Indovision.

    French Open SS 2008 MD SF: MK/HS[1] to defeat KKK/TBH[3] ?

    .
    :D:D:D Your time is 3 minutes faster than the Rest of the World. :D:D:D

    Anyway, everyone at BC is awaiting this BIG MD SF MATCH:
    Markis KIDO/Hendra SETIAWAN (INA) [1] vs KOO Kien Keat/TAN Boon Heong (MAS) [3]

    I think it's 51% for MK/HS and 49% for KKK/TBH.

    :):):)

    It's true. It happens to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal too.

    Frankly, I always supportred CHN players since 80's till the emergence of LYB as head coach. ;)
