The draw as released by BWF : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=430773&dl=1
random question. why is there no qualification draw for men? because there are too less entries?
The main draw for MS has 64 entries.All other disciplines have 32.
You're right, the German Open had more qualification entries (80 in total compared to 56 at the Swiss Open.)i know but the main draw for MS at the german open also has 64 entries, still they had qualifiers. why does swiss open not have qualies?
13. QUALIFYING Principle of qualifying
13.1 Where entries exceed the required places in the main competition draw, the organisers are
recommended to play qualifying rounds under the supervision of the Referee, as provided for in
Regulations 13.2 to 13.8.
it could still mean they didn't have sufficient entries for qualifiers....
okay, i just got a reply from the tournament organizers. i asked them via facebook. they answered my question on why there are no qualies for the men singles: "because we are playing a 64-players draw and because of time-issues: on 4 courts we are allowed to play 80 games max"
