Philippines Open has been re-scheduled

[huangkwokhau]

It is official, at least from BWF that Philippines Open will start from June 30 to July 5...I wish they scheduled before or after Thai Open..on 2nd thought....Thai Open can be cancelled due to unrest........

[huangkwokhau]

Basically there is 4 tournaments in June>:
1. Singapore Open SS ( June 9 -14)
2. Indonesia Djarum Open SS ( June 16-21)
3. Malaysia Open GP ( June 23-28)
4.Philippines Open GP ( June 30 -July 5)

I can see Elit chinese team to Sin and INA Open then their 2nd tier to Malaysia and Phillippines Open..

wow, 4 tournaments in a row? will it be too exhausted for players?
does it mean that good news for resident in the Philippines??

[ants]

2nd tier players will most likely to play in Phil Open. Only few top ranked players will make it. I'm sure TH will go for sure. LCW, KKK/TBH may make it as they are the defending champ.

[Dreamzz]

yup, i really doubt any of the top players would skip the SS for the GP events.
at least it's good news that they rescheduling it rather than cancelling it altogether.

well..this event is not sponsored by Yonex Sunrise...I think TH will not go..he will play Singapore, INA and may be MAS Open...unless Bingo Bonanza will fly him , etc........tough for top players to play 4 tournaments in a row.......

[venkatesh]

Cool. I better ready my pen and poster pics for autograph signing. That is, if top players will come. :)

Bingo would definitely fly him over. If they dont, TH will also go. :)

June will be busy month for bdm fans. How about INA players?

[Krisna]

We have some up and coming youngsters... :D We got enough players for all 4 tournaments... ;)

[ants]

Thats good to hear Krisna. I will be in Manila for the tournament on the 30th June onwards.

[ctjcad]

..what's the real story behind the rescheduling of the Philippines Open??
Money?? More well-known players coming?? Politicking of getting it through??...
:confused:

[george@chongwei]

ok, so now GREEN light for this tournament ?

[ants]

I guess to... eeheh. Its on the BWF calendar already. And Bingo Bonanza is the main sponsor.

[venkatesh]

I'm going to be in the Philippines this summer to visit and fortunately my visit falls under when the tournament is.
So I'm wondering,
1. Where is the tournament at?
2. How can I buy tickets?
3. Can I buy in advance?
Any other information will be appreciated.
Thanks.

BTW, paging moderators. If you have time, can you now change the date listed in the title since it has already been rescheduled. Thanks :)

[jbchiong]

I was having a second thought about going to watch this tournament. I don't know if some top players will participate. I think the draws might be worst than the last 2 events. Hope I am wrong. I LCW or TH or PG or LD will play I think I will go.

[hellopanda3]

Speaking about that,
When do the draws come out?

[jbchiong]

I hope you're source was reliable. If he will play indeed then no reason for me not to buy tickets.

[donvito]

I got tickets already for the WHOLE duration of the Philippine Open! See you all at the games!

[apu4life]

Why is LD soo selective with his tournaments... he should have the "bring it on" type-of attidude... respect LCW for that wooo

[ants]

I was told LD coming. so do bring some fans with swine flu. We need to stop him from going to WC. hehe. ;)

I dont think LinDan is going.

Hi, are you already in Manila? Are you familiar with EDSA? If you're coming from EDSA, take a right turn to Shaw blvd. I'm not sure if there's a left turn going to Meralco ave. You can also take the Julia Vargas route and turn right to Meralco ave. Just find your way to Meralco ave. From there, turn to Capt. Henry P. Javier. PhilSports is corner Capt. Henry P. Javier and St. Martin St.

If you're coming from C-5 (Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Ave), take a left turn to Rodriguez-Lanuza Ave, and take a left turn to St. Martin. There you go.

I'll buy tickets this weekend. See you there :).

[hellopanda3]

No I'm not around yet.
I'll get there a day or two before the tournament starts.

[donvito]

Thanks for the map venkatesh! ;)
