According to Kompas, PBSI will only send Kido/Hendra to BAC? They want to focus more into Sudirman Cup. http://olahraga.kompas.com/read/xml/2009/03/19/16465829/hanya.kidohendra.ikut.kejuaraan.asia
Well, you're right in a way. That's what the BWF schedule and tournamentsoftware and everything else said last year. This year, it's harder to tell. The BWF site says ABC this year, Badminton Asia says BAC, and the BKA says BAC in English on the official site in Korean while the link to that site on the BKA homepage says the equivalent of ABC in Korean. Go figure.
Kido/Setiawan get chance to compete in one tournament before Sudirman Cup since this pair had skipped two SS, AE and Swiss Open.
Well.. ..i typed in "Asian Badminton Championships" at yahoo! search and it gave me a (Wiki)link to the Badminton Asia Championships; nothing of ABC. I think the Badminton Asia Confederation (main tournament organizer) want to keep the "Badminton Asia" part of their name..
Ha ha ha! Korea... yes... a place where a 90 cm out-of bounds shuttlecock can still be called "IN"! The only country who could make the legendary Yang Yang cry [he never felt so much injustice in his life]...
Even the normally unflappable Flandy was shaken by Korean line-judging To be fair, it seems they are just trying to beat the Chinese at their 'game'!
