A bit off topic.. ..sorry, here's the link to the info from badMania : http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37333&page=13 (last post #225)..
Indeed....PBSI sent those players because they have been INVITED to the tournament, so, no additional costs from PBSI's side. Hotel and airfares bills were paid by the organizers. The only things PBSi has to pay is the small per-diem pocket money for each player. The players are there to gain some extra income. Look, there's not even any coach from PBSI's side...so...that tells you something right?
Oh yeah, I was wondering about that too. Usually there will be Herry (or Ko Herry as BadMania calls him) or Mulyo taking down notes and telling the players what to do. I see none of them today. So this is basically treasure hunting, huh?
I think Lin doesn't have good sportmanship. In Madrid, after the match between the danes in QF, Lin asked Tazari to walk off without shaking hands as Lin is not happy with a number of calls in the last set.
