    Not only team final, but the semis as well. Both japan and China complained about the "weird" drift conditions.

    Can someone check the BWF rules? I don't think it's allowed to have back to back matches in that short period of time. Most of the time, there should be two other matches in between.

    Anthony Ginting fails to enter main draw after lost at second round of qualification to Riichi Takeshita in 66 mins, 15-21 / 21-17 / 16-21.

    Another INA teen, Jonatan Christie has been promoted to main draw due to Jorgensen pulling out.

    So assuming matches started on time. His MS match vs. LCW was scheduled for 10:40 AM and took 45 mins, so ending at 11:25. BWF rules allows up to a 30 min break. His 2nd rd qualifiers started at 12:00. That's 35 mins break.

    Korean sports fail to shake off culture of cheating


    Culture Minister Choe Kwang-shik, second from left, chairs a meeting with related officials concerning the recent match-fixing scandal at the Korea Press Center in Seoul,Tuesday. With all major sports leagues under suspicion of match fixing, the government has vowed to show “no mercy” against match rigging. / Yonhap

    By Kim Tong-hyung

    With the top divisions of baseball, football and volleyball plunged into the murky depths of a widening match-fixing scandal, the government is vowing to purge professional sports of the influence of gamblers and fixers.

    However, it could be said that a slew of betting scams involving professional players is a symptom but not the disease. Athletes here from a young age are exposed to a culture of cheating that is ingrained at every level of competition from amateur to pro.

    The recent game- and sport-fixing controversies are linked to the massive demand generated from illegally online betting sites operated from China, Vietnam and other foreign locations, as was confirmed from the investigation of arrested players and fixers.

    But it could be said that Korea’s complacency toward cheating and corruption in sports authored its fate as a hotbed for illegal sports betting and manipulation.

    The core of the trouble may lie in the country’s scholastic sports, which double as feeder leagues for professional games.

    The schools will say they are much more than talent farms for professional teams and represent amateur competition at its best. But the endless stories about fixed matches and bribed officials suggest that Korean scholastic sports are just as corrupt and exploitative as their professional counterparts.

    The essence of the problem, critics say, is that scholastic sports are basically a microcosm of Korea as a society, where reputation will trump performance and social mobility is just a theory.

    Students who score well in the state university entrance exam will enter the country’s top schools, which traditionally provide them with a lifetime of advantages in landing the best jobs, getting promoted and lock them on course to join the upper-tier of society.

    The story is often similar for the majority of athletes who aren’t talented enough to be picked up by professional franchises right out of high school. They will get only a limited number of shots at joining the top college teams, which provide the bulk of players later drafted by professional teams.

    For an athlete to join a top college program, it’s often required that his high-school team finishes in the top-four in national tournaments. This fuels a ``win-at-all-costs’’ nature that ironically breeds corruption, critics say.

    The country’s amateur baseball association punished a number of high school coaches in 2005 for attempting to bribe officiating crews at national tournaments. But this didn’t prevent a slew of high school coaches and baseball umpires becoming entangled in a bribery scandal five years later.
    There is often collusion among coaches too as tournament performances will dictate how many of their players end up with college teams. For example, a coach from a team that did well in the spring tournament might deliberately send out a team consisting of freshmen and sophomores when reaching the quarterfinals in the summer bracket in a ``wink-wink’’ arrangement with his opponent.

    Things aren’t much cleaner in amateur football, which suffered an embarrassing moment last year when police uncovered a match-fixing scheme arranged between elementary school teams.

    Basically, Korean school athletes have been told repeatedly that if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying. No wonder so many of them display a lack of respect for competitive integrity as pros, jumping at the first fixer offering them a chance to make some money on the side.

    ``The all-for-nothing nature of scholastic sports is obviously a big problem in this country. The top-four tournament rule, which dictates the players that make it to college and those who don’t, clearly has to go,’’ said a former executive of Hanwha who was involved in front office work for the Hanwha Eagles, a Daejeon-based professional baseball team.

    ``Look how we educate our athletes. We keep them in school most of the time, but train them as sports drones, and never expect them to show up in classes or do well in exams. We never cared about what kind of a people they grow up to be, never cared if they learned about integrity or decency. They have been brought up as machines who are expected to produce a result and this is not a good thing.’’

    The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism unveiled a package of measures to prevent further corruption in sports Tuesday, after the professional leagues in baseball, football and volleyball were hit with match-fixing scandals.

    The government will apply a ``no mercy’’ rule to any individual involved in match fixing. Professional clubs will also be held accountable for protecting players from exposure to match rigging or other manipulation.

    Under a recently revised law on sports promotion, players or coaches who take part in fixing schemes are to be sentenced to up to five years in prison or pay up to 50 million won (about $44,480) in fines. Their teams will also face expulsion from the league.

    ``The recent events have created an alarming situation that may rattle the foundation of sports,’’ Culture Minister Chae Kwang-shik said in a news conference.

    So based on the reasons given above by thru article it is proven that it is very difficult to shake of the cheating culture in Korean sports. Sad to say but this is the fact. And sad to say this also applies to badminton matches and tournaments too.

    To be honest, sometimes I just don't blame the athletes but I blame the system. The systems goes like if you lose in a tournament you will not be respected, you will be a nobody. Over the years athletes have been thought how to cheat to win which is sad too.

    I just hope that this Korea Open will be a clean tournament but then since it is held in Korea, it is very difficult to predict what will happen next.

    Ginting's break is only 23 minutes.
    His first match started on 10.50 and lasted for 57 minutes, or 11.47.
    and his second match started on 12.10

    Why would they rush? the XD matches will start on 5 PM for God sake. Someone on PBSI should complain to the committee to prevent this occured in the future.

    Sorry to say nothing can be done

    Sorry to say this tournament is held in Korea. So even if PBSI are to lodge a complain to the committee there is nothing they can do about it.

    that's probably why lcw didn't think it was worth risking any injuries to play like that if he had won his match
