Topic title says it all - my classes have been canceled tomorrow due to potential weather: does this mean that the beginning of the Taipei Open may be delayed as well?

I think as of this posting nobody knows for sure, but this could be a blessing in disguise - this means I can go to Taipei and see the first day after all!

Man, first was political storm stopping Team China and now weather storm possibly stopping the whole event? I think the organizer need to have those Chinese ceremonial praying(roast pig in temple) in the future :D

I think the tournament will still go on. They will probably have some delay if the Typhoon is too severe.

Thought they should worship The Goddess of the Sea (Ma Zu) as the typhoon came from the sea. Ma Zu has recently visited New York and is probably a bit tired to stop the typhoon after She returned from the trip ...

Digged out some early news articles from Taiwan Yahoo! on the partial results of the qualifying rounds ... though VERY Taiwan-centric.

If you can read "Fan Ti Zi" (traditional Chinese script),
