Hi Ants,

do you know how the 4 groups are formed based on the seedings?

i.e.
g1 g2 g3 g4
1 2 3 4
8 7 6 5
9 10 11 12 ?

wow, malaysia are seeded higher than the indonesia team..!!.

That's for the Uber Cup. They have a chance of a SF finish, with good draws.

For the Thomas Cup, EVERY SEEDED TEAM will want to AVOID Team Korea now (5th seed)!

I hope Team INA (Thomas) will get Canada and New Zealand :D
The worst draw will be for Team INA to have Korea and Thailand/England in the Group. Japan is okay because our singles should handle them (despite the resurgence in their doubles).

I still think for Uber Cup Korea should be above Japan, and Malaysia not be seeded.

You don't want to be seeded, only to fall before semifinals. Though the chances are actually pretty even between teams seeded 2 to 9. With Korea's exception, only just below China.

ALL for MAS, you will see it.

Uber Cup: 1 China, 2 Japan, 3 South Korea, 4 Malaysia, 5 Indonesia, 6 Germany, 7 Denmark, 8 Hong Kong, 9 Netherlands, 10 New Zealand, 11 USA, 12 South Africa

Uber Cup Ideal Situation:
Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand

Worst Situation:
China, Indonesia, Netherlands

I think INA can still end up as runner-up, with a tough match against Netherlands if we are really drawn against them. The doubles SHOULD WIN both matches, with hopes that Pia or Nana can beat Rachel Van Cutsen.

the draw will take place at INA 1400 GMT (mas time 1 o`clock)

Even though Uber Teams from Denmark beat Germany, and Korea defeated Japan, they are ranked lower than the defeated teams ...... does not make sense.

Overall Rankings of Korean players are ranked lower than their Japanese counterparts.

Korea vs Japan:
Jun Jae Yun 10 vs Eriko Hirose 13
Hwang Hye Youn 32 vs Kaori Mori 19
Lee Yun Hwa 34 vs Hirayama Yu 23;
Jang Soo Young 60 vs Kanako Yonekura 25

Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung 4 vs Kumiko Ogura/Reiko Shiota 6
Ha Jung Eun/Kim Min Jung 16 vs Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda 10

Similarly for Denmark vs Germany:
Tine Rasmussen 9 vs Xu Huaiwen 7
Camilla Sorensen 74 vs Juliane Schenk 14
Nanna Brosolat Jensen (???) vs Carola Bott 103

Lena Frier-Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl 20 vs Nicole Grether/Juliane Schenk 15
Mie Schjoett-Kristensen/Christina Pedersen 45 vs Carina Mette/Birgit Overzier
30

This is just what I mean, might as well just qualify, and not to bother about winning the qualifiers.

Easy now badmania. After all Canada is seeded a lofty 7. Which Einstein seeded them 7??:rolleyes::rolleyes: BTW, one of the young coaches from our club (RichmondPro) got selected to play for Canada in the TC ;):)

Really :eek:

Wow...ranked 7 out of 12 is NOT BAD INDEED! But, considering that u guys have Andrew Dabeka and Mike Beres/William Milroy (highly ranked in MD). How u guys ranked above Thailand, Germany and England are beyond me really :o

Yeah, Madbad is correct, one of his young coach (from Richmond Pro in Richmond, BC) has been selected by Badminton Canada to fill a vacancy in Team Canada and he is most likely be playing doubles with existing team member(aka ex doubles partner, younger coach from ClearTwo Badminton Centre) Towbsss. (aka bigger little badelbow, little badelbow is eager to join his bro)

Hi badelbow, it will be interesting to see if the Team Canada braintrust pair Alvin and Toby together since they're familiar each other's game.

On a larger scale, it's really exciting to be able to follow the TC this time. What a thrill for our players to be able to take on the big boys from CHN!

well well well, it's going to be fun.

TC

3 places in the semis are almost confirmed.

CHN vs MAS (i'm expecting MAS to beat either JPN/THA)
DEN vs INA/KOR (INA are unlucky to be drawn to play KOR in the QF, it could be tricky)

UC

most likely we'll be seeing:

CHN vs KOR
MAS/GER vs JPN/HKG

the 2 heavyweights are drawn in the top half, leaving the bottom half looking decidedly weak. CHN vs KOR would be a more fitting final than semi.

I know why Canada is ranked 7th.

Cos they've got Madbad, the former All-England PAWS champion, who does reasonably well in PAWS!!!

As I'm sure Azabaz's Swiss Open victory resulted in Malaysian Uber squad getting 4th seeding .....

Thats a good one.. ABEDENG.
