Too early to ask as Hongkong Open 2008 will be started three months later (25-30 November). The venue is likely Queen Elizabeth Stadium, total prize money US$250,000.

Yea I know it's too early that's why I'm wondering if anyone knows when the info might come out.. you know, around what time did the info come out last year? How many months beforehand?

unlikely the boss will be coming in November due to extra expensive plane ticket for November. :(

Actually was still quite clueless after your quoted post hahaha.. It's because of last year's HKO threads.. :p

[ctjcad]

..oh well, George had to cut short the guessing portion of your query..:p..Congrats for figuring it out!..:cool:
But he did try to create a bit more confusion, though....;)

[scherzando]

Yea after reading last year's HKO threads that you told me, it was kind of.. DUH? (Hi, kwun! Hahaha :p)

Neway, I rly hope this year's HKO will be a good one so I won't regret attending.. (and missing classes/quizes) *crosses fingers*

[Cheung]

..the dates sound correct to me-thx for checking.:cool: And that means kwun will need to edit the date of this yr's HK Open in the 2008 Tournaments' sub-forum.

[ctjcad]

...bumpety bump for kwun/mods to update the date of this yr's HK Open in the Tournament sub-forum/section??...
Correct date is Nov. 24-30, 2008 instead of Nov. 27-Dec. 2, 2008..

[Shiryu]

Entry list (http://www.hkbadmintonassn.org.hk/files/hko08player.pdf)!

[otaclub]

the draw is up on monday....can't wait to see the draw especially in WS

[Jagdpanther]

CHN, HKG, and MAS squad entries each occupies one page.:eek::)
CHN and HKG well-balanced in all disciplines, while MAS excels, as usual, in MD. Mostly juniors.

Also, as usual, INA has "quality over quantity" view. :p

All the best for INA players. Don't push yourselves too hard.
Christmas is near! ;)

[scherzando]

So all the INA players on the list are going to HKO with their own money?

[Jonc108]

All finals' ticket sold out in one day...
