    last Japan Super Series, China got 4 titles with 7 representations in semi. Astonishingly, there was 0 from Korea which used to be thought the 2nd power house just after China. (red indicating wining the title)

    Korea made the biggest improvement, got 3 in the final 4 while 0 in JO. Thailand, China and Denmark also improved while Tapei, Germany, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong and India got less reprentations.

    If we count the title only,

    [/TABLE]

    Only China and Tapei got the titles at JO.
    Unfortuantely, Tapei will end up 0 title at DO, while China still dominates, I guess China will grab 4 titles again. Malaysia, Denmark or Korea could have the chance to take the 5th.

    If assume title = 4 poins, finalist = 2 points, semi = 1 point, then the total points at Japan open:

    Denmark open predictions/observations:

    China will do better in WS, WD and XD.
    Korea will surely be better in all doubles.
    Denmark better in MD and WD, with home court advantage.

    Improved associations: Korea, Denmark, Thailand
    Weakened associations: Taipei, Germany, Hong Kong, India

    Have to see how well China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan perform next 2 days.

    Any particular reason why this just goes back to JO instead of YTD?

    the information is readily available in
    http://www.mediafire.com/?mf3pzz2rt9p31

    download the latest SuperSeries file in the excel folder. goto the 'Winners' sheet, for YTD just select all the other results (rows 21-74) and delete. table at the top will update for YTD

    Unfortunately, China seems still overwhelmingly dominating the badminton.
    Suprisingly, Denmark is the 2nd power nation in badminton. Even 4 representations.
    Clearly, Malaysia has only LCW to depend on.
    Luckily, LYD can play 2 categories for Korea.
    Hopefully, Indonesia can still be in the game.
    Obviously, Taipai and Japan have become powerhouses now.

    2cents, I'm sure it's a lot of work to compile a YTD version. Thanks for this abbreviated one;it'll be a good base to build on for future tournaments. To no one's surprise CHN dominates.

    (YTD winners up to 2011 Japan Open, excerpt from AlanY's super spreadsheet)


    Above table is YTD winners (up to 2011 Japan Open), based on AlanY's superb spreadsheet: 'SuperSeries v5.08.xlsm' ... Thanks AlanY for sharing it with us :)

    So far only eight countries/associations gain the chance to taste the sweetness of being champion... and that position will not yet change at this DO SSP.


    With regard to 2cents' SF tabulations,
    in Japan Open SS, the semi finalists came from 9 countries/associations; in Denmark Open SS Premier only 7 countries/associations make the presence.
    From these two tournaments alone, one may derive that the higher the level of the tournament (the higher its value), the more 'exclusive' the participants in the SF (i.e. less countries/associations make it).

    Your summary is absolutely right. Terre is a China factor. China sent no one or second tier stringers to lower level tournaments, so there are three or four countries winning titles, such as India super series. China sent partial best players to regular ss, so china takes 4 out of 5 most of time. At most prestige world championship, china sends all with all efforts, they took all five titles. In Olympics, suffering from the quotes limitation, china has to let others to share 5 golds
