Why would GWJ defeat of sho be on the upset list? GWJ beat Sho in the recent German Open by straight sets 21-15, 21-18.

1)Round 1 : China’s XU Chen/Zhao Yunlei (WR# 38) beat Taiwan’s CHENG Wen Hsing/FANG Chieh Min (WR# 21), 21-19 21-15

Xu/Zhao has notional points of 46800 (use http://www.badmintoninternational.net/notionalcalculator/notcalculator.aspx to calculate) while Cheng/Fang has 31050 (http://www.internationalbadminton.org/ranking_ms.asp?id=5) WR points. If based purely on WR, then yes, it is an upset. But I can argue that Xu/Zhao has a very high notional rank, so it was not an upset.

It's like KKK/Fairuz has no WR at all, but a very high notional rank, which is much more realistic.

Xu Chen/Zaho Yunlei arent exactly a new pair. They won a GP Gold title in 2008 (either Macau or Taiwan I forgot). Does the notional points take into account the latest tourneys, as of last week?
Notional points for just "unranked" pairs or new partnerships would perhaps be better.

In any case, if you want to do the notional points, by all means - can do for the MD, WD, XD dept & post. :D:p

Look again, WR# 11 beat WR# 7, only 4 WR difference. Remember W Yihan won AE last week.

Looks like there is another confusion here:

Since the WR is updated on every Thursday, results on round 1 (Wed) is based on the old WR but round 2 onwards (Thu-Sun) is according to the latest WR.

The argument will be: The same WR (the ones before Thu) should be used.

Therefore, WYH was ranked #17 before Mar 12th (Thu) and #11 after Mar 12th.
Since the draw is made based on the old WR, the old WR should be used throughout the entire tournament.

Another solution is to ask BWF to update the WR on every Monday. I have written to the BWF regarding to this issue a few months ago and their reply was that they are not working on weekends and they need a few days to update the WR. **Fainted**

Note: WR=World Rankings

After reading our Upset Lists over the last 3 tournaments (thanking eaglehelang and limsy for compiling them), it is evident that China’s Wang Yihan (WR#11) and Gong Weijie (WR# 49) should continue to cause more upsets from now on, until they have made their way into the Top 8 World Rankings.

Well Done WYH and GWJ !!! :):):)

Some players will cause some upsets but never win a title while some will go all the way. Obviously GWJ is the former and WYH is the latter. With LD, BCL & CJ still playing, GWJ will have to wait a "little" longer. WYH, on the other hand, will be CHN WS#1 by end of this year in my opinion.

XD had the most no of upsets, 4 from the eventual winners ZB/Ma Jin. Interestingly, the seeded pairs (WR# 1 to 5 especially) did not win this Swiss SS. ZB/Ma Jin came back strong from the meltdown last week.

Congrats to Wang Yi Han for winning back to back SS titles, a stronger signal of the new generation of China’s WS to take over from the likes of XXF, Lu Lan, Zhu Lin.

Upsets of WR difference above 5, this time is from main draw, Round 1 onwards :
MS = 4
WS = 7
MD = 5
WD = 0
XD = 10, total of 27 upsets

Others = 7

Since Limsy says he wants to retire from this task :p, the next round of upset lists will be done as & went I have time. So, GP Gold events are a maybe, Cherios.
:D:D:D

LCW = WR#1, LD = WR#2, so technically not upset or even "others" category ;)

Let's just say no exact judgement on whether it's upset or not.
Choose - stick to Rankings or Expectations?
