Kedah Open is part of National Circuit or National GP (correct me if I'm wrong) If i'm not mistaken, in a year period, there will be two State Opens and one National GP Final. Prize money..i remember KBH won Melaka Open last year..he won RM4000. (Thats like around USD1100++) Wong Mew Choo won RM2000. As for participants, it had been discussed here
Is Kedah Open restricted for Malaysian players only ??? I don't think that the organisers of our Kedah Open want to restrict it as an event for Malaysian players only. Usually, organisers of events consider their events under the following categories; Closed = Only for members affiliated with their associations. Invitation = Only for players invited by their associations. Open = For any players, but perhaps, only for BWF registered members. But I could be wrong about our Kedah Open.
As far as I know, Kedah Open is a BAM-event, which is part of the national GP-events. These events will then be used to determine local rankings for those not-so-famous players. So, I think it's only open to MAS players I could be wrong though... In Indo, I think we do have national circuits too...like the Mutiara Cup or something like that.
BAM National GP events = PBSI National Circuits ?!? Oh I see. Thank you for everyone's input. I think this BAM National GP-Event is sort of like PBSI National Circuits?!? In INA, we now have 8 National Circuit. Sumatra Circuit, Jakarta Circuit, West Java Circuit [sponsored by SGS Elektrik, Taufik Hidayat's club], Central Java [otherwise known as Sinar Mutiara Cup], Sulawesi, East Java [sponsored by Jawa Pos GG] had already passed this year. This weekend they are wrapping out the 7th leg of the Circuit, which is the Kalimantan Circuit. Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan is the chosen venue for Kalimantan Circuit this year.... The 8th [and last one this year] will be the East Indonesian Circuit next month. Bali is the venue for that one... Later in the year, as the grand finale, we have the INA National Championship. But unlike MAS, our current top players like Taufik, and Sony etc. seldom play in the Circuits and National Championships... How many tournaments in Malaysia's GP event? 8 like INA?
I remmember a couple of years back. We have KEDAH/PAHANG/MALACCA/PERAK .... Opens.. Now only TWO left BAM wan the national players to concentrate on international tournaments. But wat about the Backup & Juniors players
Pontianak is my hometown..... love noodle and baso there where we created baso gepeng so famous ( baso A Fung)..... A Fung should take their franchise to singapore and Malaysia first...especially Kucing...
LCW won easy straight sets...( 21-10,21-6) wow...so easy for LCW Julia Wong also won over Tee Jing Yi in 2 sets... No results on double yet except XD..... Hope LCW has a confident for next JO where he has to play Hafitz again...
Kedah Open 2007: Mens Singles should be dominated by LCW Perhaps because HAFIZ HASHIM was exhausted... after needing to play 3 games to beat TAN CHUN SEANG in the semis.
