if the INA pair win 2-1 against the MAS with total points 10 pts less than the MAS (e.g. 21-19, 7-21, 21-19) then the MAS thro' to the SF
simply, if 2 players have the same number of points (matches won) then the winner between their match rank higher. if 3 or more players have the same number of points, then who has the bigger (games won - games lost) rank higher; if still cant divide them the (points won - points lost) next.
The fairest thing I can think of is if you have already played and lost, you get 2 games against your name (and one for if it's a three setter) If you win like Tago you get 2 games also you should get 2 games "for" if you do not get to play him. Everybody's scoreline reads zero for these matches, so if it comes to a score difference it will not play a part but when it comes to game/match difference it will. Not Ideal but closer.
Yup, you are right. I missed the games won/lost. So, the Adcocks are hoping Kido/Pia will do them a favour by beating MAS pair.
using this MS group B as an example. Tommy played Sony first and lost, no point (fairly enough). but if he withdrawn right after that, both Tago and Hu will get 2 games for without playing. how's that fair?
he doesn't want to win game 2? he won game 2 (22-20). not fair to hun yu? he already lost twice. you should check your head. hahahaha.
Because in theory if they played they had a chance to beat him, why should they be punished. It is fairer for Tommy to be punished as there are no if's or buts he did lose. As I said it's not Ideal but it is fairer. The current system of scrapping a game you have already lost is the least fair thing I can think of.
MAS XD pair will probably sneak pass. C'mon, Kido/Pia put up a battle and give the Adcocks some hope.
http://www.jpnn.com/read/2013/12/13/205582/Cedera,-Sony-Dwi-Kuncoro-Pilih-Mundur- Sad news for Sony. I didn't expect that, I was hoping he would proceed to the semi-finals instead of Tommy...
What a draw for the semifinals: MS - Lee CW plays JOJ again; same for K Tago vs Tommy S; WS - WSX plays TTY again; same for LXR vs Bae YJ, I'd much prefer LXR to play TTY first.
Really disappointing , not even 1 china double make it to semi final , what happen to hot fav Fu hai feng ,Cai Yun ,,?
Just finished watching the video Yu/Wang losing the match to the Danish ladies. They played so terribly, comparable to the match vs the Korean ladies in London. But I doubt if anyone will question them this time.
