Record of walkover and retired between same country player since 2006

[twobeer]

Where do you find these data? Do you have a rate of WO? I feel the rate of WO for China is not that big considering the large number of chn vs chn meetings. In 2010, 70& of same country meetings are for China. So China should contribute 70% WO if all countries have the same WO rate.

I just counted the numbers of meets from tournamentsofware, looking at SS, GPG and major events like WC. The WO rate is quite low.. But there are a few that seems "fishy" which I think is LD avoiding a meet with LCW, most likely due to tactical reasons of not wanting to allow him to "spar" too much (LD and LCW already have a huge number of meets (24) ).

[laonong]

maybe you also need statistic how many times CHN VS other country when CHN WO or retired
then compare it with CHN VS CHN WO or retired

then we can see, is it true since there are many CHN players in the tournament, they have many times retired or WO if against another country?
if there are a lot more CHN VS CHN games that is WO or retired, we can conclude somethings wrong with it

Then you should compare the rates of WO to China - rates of WO to other country for China vs the rates of WO to country A - rates of WO to other country (not A) for Country A provided you have large enough sample size .

It's not good to focus on just one country. You need do comparison. If the difference of rates are significantly large, you can draw a reasonable conclusion.

...but more the rule than exception when it comes to critical and meaningful matches, it would appear...

Not really.. I think most WOs. for example from Lin Dan, have been advantageous for the players from other coutries, giving them an easier opponent, and bigger chance of clinching the title. When it comes down to "saving" players for "fitness", I do not really beleive that to play a big part, as I have seldom seen a chineese national team member loose a match due to fitness.

LCW has reached the level where he does not need more opportunities to spar with LD to improve. Rather, LD tries to avoid meeting LCW because every time LCW beats LD, LCW s confidence over him will grow. That is the advantage LD fears of giving to LCW. PG knows that very well. When LCW goes into a match with confidence, he gets into an unbeatable zone. From now onwards, LD will be prepared to play LCW only when LYB can arrange for a sufficiently vocal CHN crowd to back him up. That s why CHN s eager to host the SS Finals and TC next year.

Agree, CHN s advantage has always been their fitness and stamina, that s why the best time to beat them is in the early stages when the stamina factor is less significant as CHN has at least an 80% chance of winning when in finals.I must say your point of LD s WO benefactor effect by offering a lesser opponent to help his real opponent win the title is refreshing. However, this did not happen in JO. It had the opposite effect. (You know why I was so disappointed with LD s WO in MO11? I would have like to see if TH could have taken out either LCW or LD after they had exhausted each other in the SF.) Try not to shoot yourself in the toe. Up the beer or down it? Or how about some Chinese tea.

Good find limsy!!

How about the rate of China fixing/throwaway matches pre LYB era? It should be a good way to tell since the Chinese were already as dominant during those genuine matches days. It should indicates whether its about the frequency of CHN vs CHN matches that resulted in the high percentage of your findings or otherwise.

I remember the legendary Yang Yang and ZJH matches went to full length at every encounter and both players gives no quarter. It was the same story to those popular Indonesian players as well.

Walkover to give ranking points is a given this year. Before that, I'm not so sure but sometimes it does help to boost the younger player's confidence or give them more experience.

True; Walkover to give ranking points could be useful for younger players.

However, when these younger players get these 'aided' points, at the back of their mind, they might not think that they have worked hard for these points.

Disagree... We wish that Badminton be a sport with players always performing their best whenever they play.

How can Badminton be a good sport to follow when our tournament players are sometimes 'stage-acting'?

Even in our BC PAW Games, PAWers are annoyed with this 'stage-acting'.

With all the stageacting in soccer/fotball in the penalty zone.. that sport seems still to thrive..

Lots of talk.. I think he went into this WC in an "unbeatable" "zone" after crushing each opponent and LD having to work more, but honestly LD was still that fraction better at playing the game...

Well, LCW has made tremendous progress. WC is supposed to be a major and he has never gone past QF. This time he reached the final and almost won it. LCW s a 'slow winner'. He progresses in steps to clinch titles. See his pattern of progress in AE. QF?, then SF, then Final, then victor, then unquestionable victor. He plods along because he gets no assistance but he finally reaches his destination, sooner or later.

He will for sure.. He may or may not clinch the OG next year.. But if he don't, he will have the opportunity to collect those big-medals after LD retires.. The only danger would be a fast improving CL, WZM or Victor Axelsen. But most likely he have all the time to collect his missing trophies after LD has put his racket on the shelf.

since i was in my last month of last semester in my college
so i will create another list as soon as i could
amount of matches between china ms/ws against other country and the amount of walkover
amount of matches between china ws/ws against own country and the amount of walkover
if i free,will add on double department
but i feel that the % will be ugly for china

Is it ugly with more WOs against your friends that you play on a daily basis? Would you try to fight for a win with pain just to beat your friend, robbing him/her of the winning chance and then maybe have to withdraw due to the injury later in the tournament anyway??

would and did u purposely score low mark in exam in order to made ur friend rank higher than u?
if yes,then ur point is valid
if no,think again

p/s:it is quite noble and idealistic,did u practice it in ur life?

Think again Limsy :-) My result on the exam does not stop my friend from getting a great score. Eliminating him from cup play will eliminate him from scoring higher (my win at his expense)... very different things.
