I believe I have reported during sidenews that MAS is going to have another one.
INA is planning to have one by next year after KOR and MAS SS..
I have been told that Kor and Mas exchanged the dates..so KOR will be first then MAS SS and hopefully INA GP..

In that case, PBSI can just send their team to the MAS SS and INA GP Gold. We typically do not fare well in the Korea SS if it's held in January when it's the coldest.

The only times INA won titles in Korea was when the Korea Open was held during April 2004 (end of Winter) and end of August 2006 (summer-time). Luluk/Alvent won the MD title in 2004; while Nova/Butet and Tony/Candra won the MD and XD title in 2006.

What!!??? Even India Open a GP level also got broadcast, this one Malaysia own tourney......where the hell is Jati and Proton for sponsor

Is it at the usual stadium? You know, the one where they held the ABC some time ago? I may be there this weekend if the matches are interesting.

To answer my own question, yes it is. It's called the Bandaraya Stadium and actually not too far away from the Malaysian Immigration Complex. I will say it takes less than 15 minutes on foot, but I don't know if there are any proper footpaths to the stadium. Anyone knows?

No more footpaths since the flyover was built closeby.

I will give this tournament a miss.

Just take the cab, cost about RM6 or RM8.

Btw, anyone know if the stadium is free for public or if it's ticketed, can you buy on the spot?

Thanks

:eek:...too bad, no more abedeng's live commentation for this tournament....something is missing...........;):p

Usually, like last ABC.....u can buy tickets from the counter at the stadium....

The stadium may not be classy like Spore but the tournament atmosphere is richer.There's a lot of freedom to move around and meet the players and coaches (during meal or teh tarik breaks) Teh tarik is terrific and food is kampong-like, meaning cheap and good.
Jennifer and I will be there Wed to catch the MS matches esp CL vs TH and Jennifer hopes to have a photo taken with her idol LCW. I 'm not sure about my camera skills using her camera but should be ok lah. Friday onwards we might brave the traffic jams to go over and give support to some underdogs.

Ok thanks jasonmarc & pjswift.

I'll most certainly go there on the weekends.

I'm sick with badminton fever. :)

..if not, you'll get a burned-out abedeng when the WC rolls around..:eek:

No big gun... a walk in the park for lcw and kkk. ;)?

Finals start at 3pm.

Ticket price is RM30 at the counter, there some Yonex sunrise items on sale as well, but the design this year are not as awesome as the All england 2006.

wow, there's a malaysia open gp gold.
looks like this is the 1st time this tournament being held;)

Actually, I walked from the Immigration Complex to the stadium. It takes roughly 10 to 15 mins. I think that beats walking to City Square and taking a taxi.

SS = Super Series
GP = Grand Prix

The GP is a lesser tournament than the SS (Super Series).

A Super Series event must offer at least USD 200,000 in total prize money.
A Grand Prix event is one that offers prize money of more than USD 50,000.

USD 50,000 or more = Grand Prix
USD 120,000 or more = Grand Prix Gold

I can't believe it's over so fast.
