    BWF and tournament organisers really have to sit down to fix this matter

    .

    I thought all participating players have already submitted their entries.

    There is no point to discuss here in BC..all matters have been talked to BWF..that matter is not new at all....just wait their action..
    BC here just know how to criticise and some of them know everything...;)
    I know we are passionate about badminton...talk is just cheap without action...

    That's a fix only if you think the players decide whether to participate based on the draw. But that's only one of many reasons for withdrawal.

    For a low rank player who has to face LD in the first round, paying the fine and pocketing the difference from airfare and hotel bill is certanly a good option. But I don't think the fans care either way in those cases.

    The real problem is the schedule. At this point, most players just don't want to play any more.

    One solution is to have a mandatory set of tournaments (the "grand slams" such as AE for everyone, plus a small selection of other SS tournaments chosen by BWF) for each player. Ranking points can only be awarded from mandatory tournaments. In addition, players can choose to participate in other tournaments for prize money only. This helps to guarantee reasonably strong and interesting field for each tournanment without undue pressure on the players.

    There are a lot of issues that BWF has to settle:

    a. Standarize the rules for all Super Series...
    b. Reduce some of tournaments and increase prize money.
    c. Make some of tournaments mandatory as currently there is a problem that Yonex's sponsored players ( mostly independent) may not play Lining's sponsored tournament or vise versa.
    d.Increasing penalty fee for late withdrawal or do not show up in the main draw
    e.Modify the points between SS,GP, GP Gold, Challenge ..as example..Winner of Challengge is 4000 points ( Prize money : US$ 15000), GP Winner : 5000 points ( Prize money: US$ 50000)..
    f. Beside releasing the draw the day before tournament, also there is no need to indicate Q1, Q2, etc...make it as Q and draw it later like Tennis and introducing Lucky Loser ( for those who do not show up in the maindraw)..

    Thats just some of basic rules that BWF has not solved..let alone to hold Grandslam..
    Just recently in Hongkong Openso many "UNQUALIFIED umpires" make wrong basic decisions....basically and the conclusion is that our Badminton, sadly, is far away to make it Professionally...
