according to the chinapress, there was several news: 1. Heard from indo's press, PBSI is lack of money for entry fees for China SS. So they will skip China SS. Maybe it's not real? 2. WS Defending champion Wong Mew Choo maybe withdrawn bcoz of lack of confidence and she was not in form bcoz the knee injury which has disturb her almost half year.
1st...do u saw many ina names in draw???just 2...th and tony/candra... 2nd...yes...she may withdraw...
for Wong Choong Han playing doubles i want to share some results of his latest german Bundesliga matches (where he plays for EBT Berlin): Kristian Karttunen/Jan Sören Schulz - WCH/Michal Logosz 17-21 13-21 WCH/Michal Logosz - Maurice Niesner/Henning Zanssen 21-14 21-12 Sebastian Schöttler/Tim Zander - WCH/Michal Logosz 15-21 8-21 link to WCH´s Bundesliga profile: http://www.alleturniere.de/sport/player.aspx?id=23531&player=6148 link to EBT Berlin (some pics can be found there too): http://www.ebt-badminton.de/1man.php
Well, well, uncle WCH's results at the German club is not bad. Played MD pretty well in 2006 Commonwealth too. Lastest withdrawal from CO2 is Hafiz. His wife gave birth early, Hafiz's now the proud father of a baby girl. He might also miss HK SS to take care of his wife and/or baby if they are still not in good health in a week's time. The baby is underweight, has to to be put in incubator. Instead Hafiz will participate in Vietnam GP.

can't find news sorry, I ran a search, but I couldn't find out why kido and setiawan aren't playing in China... anyone know?
Because PBSI isn't sending any team to the China SS. Moreover, they had won this event twice and also won the China Masters SS 2 mths ago.
TCS, CWF, Arif & gang are going for Msia International Challenge, 18-23 Nov. You can see their names in the draw for Msia IC. BAM has decided to send to seniors only for MS but Hafiz has withdrawn due to arrival of his newborn daughter. And yes, Julia Wong & Lydia cheah get to go but the guys dont, I speculate it's due to Julia & Lydia getting runner-up in recent GP Gold events.
whoah, round of 32 also got prize money already.. like Tennis.. http://chinaopen2008.cba.org.cn/en/bulletin/2008-10-17/217376.html

What does PBSI (indonesia?) stand for and why aren't they sending a team? secondly, why would winning in the past make them not want to go again??? I would think it would be the opposite.
Terms in Qualification Round ??? Does anybody know what PFQ,PMD and WDN in qualification round stand for?. Thanks for the feedback anyway!
