Well, this is fairly good and easy $$$ for CH, as he's "on his own" now. I doubt many 1st tier national players (from the power hourses) will really come, as it's OG year. However, for high ranking individual players like CH it make perfect sense for a tour, or even possible future career?
My wild guess: Taufik Hidayat and Chen Hong Since it is still daytime for me, so my guess are Tony Gunawan and Howard Bach
Too easy!! Too easy!!.. ..i mean how many famous badminton players, with first names starting with T & H, live in the U.S., let alone California.... kwun, you should've made it a bit harder by mentioning, "two persons, whose first name ends with y and d (or m)".. Btw, they will be competing, right??..Not just **present** there..
That was little too easy If it were really TG and HB, I hope they play and not just be there. I missed last year's exhibition. :crying: Having said that, maybe kwun has something else in mind and wants to mislead us. There is another T and H that will be playing.
I talked to Tony the other day while he was in the bay area visiting his wife's brother. Lets just say the BBC tournament will have some pretty intense games. Supposedly, the canadian team is also comming down, as well as other ares to compete.
the BB Championships, if what i was told come true, will be as aznpi1losopher says, very exciting with not only all the top players from the US, but maybe international players from other countries. still more than a month to go so stay tuned and see what the BBC folks will treat us with.

^^Looking fw..^^ ..to the pics, kwun!...And in the MD A Open, too (most likely Howard & Bob clashing vs. Halim & Tony in the Final)...Looks like all the top players, from both SoCal and NorCal are meeting there this weekend. And this is shaping up to be one heck of an entertaining Memorial Day weekend up in the Bay Area Open; enjoy the fun!!..
