this may be a silly question, but what's the format like? round-robin with the top in each group to go through?
Mixed Doubles Group I think should be like this, only have 2 Groups GROUP A : Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen He Hanbin/Yu Yang Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Wong Pei Tty GROUP B : Kennevic Asuncion/Kennie Asuncion Mohamad Rizal/Gresya Polii Zhang Jun/Gao Ling Zheng Bo/Zhao Tingting

How do you get to qualify for this world cup? There seem to be some very good players who are not competing?
There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this tournament. All I know is its an invitational tournament, so players don't have to qualify to compete in this World Cup, as long as they are invited... Since this tournament does not contribute any ranking points, most of the top players opt to skip it (I suppose).
