Oh... then I feel sorry for the players whom didn't get to participate in the tournament + didn't get a medal for the win + hardly won any tournament before(therefore not much spare money to waste), BUT GET TO SHARE THE BILL. eg. Chen Long.
Anyone know what they were doing? Obviously, they are all pros, but why line-up like a bunch kids or beginners learning how to hold a racket.
They should have an initiation thing for rookies (ala NHL) where they foot a dinner bill. This would be a bad one for them to be caught with, haha
actually, i hear through the interview that they were actually having some games. each side will just smash the bird over & the team who loses will get their butts smashed by the winning team. Something like that. it's also a sort of training on their reflexes.
