Apparently, in 2011, CBA agreed to hold the next two Super Series Finals. The first took place in LiuZhou. Now the second location has been selected. It is ShenZhen. Given its location (next to Hong Kong), it should be a popular destination.
Yup, back to back season ending of SS tournaments in China. BWF news : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/news_item.aspx?id=63780
The BWF SuperSeriesFinals should be in the 2012 - Tournament category. Can´t find it in December... Btw what is the qualificaton system? The top 8 of the SS standing 2012 in each category? Am I right?! http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/category.aspx?id=4017&category=930 Could be pretty curious this year... no LYD, LD, KSH, JFN/CP.... and so on...
Latest standings of top 8 players of all the 5 categories after china open 2012 are published. "http://www.badzine.net/news/superseries-finals-whos-in-whos-close-2/22250/" Still Hongkong superseries is happening. So, there will be a further revision of standings after Hongkong superseries.
Seeding date : 29th November 2012 Draw date : 11th December 2012 Venue : China Resources Shenzhen Bay Sports Centre, Shenzhen-CHN Title-sponsor : CR Land

Why is Kim KJ/Kim SR no4 seed and not the Jpn pair ? Does it mean there is a withdrawal in MD and CY/FHF will get to play ?
YES Miyuki MAEDA/Satoko SUETSUNA Sho SASAKI withdrawal japan badminton association confirmed http://www.badminton.or.jp/news/20121212_final.pdf and BAO Yixin/ZHONG Qianxin will not play because zhong has an operation in Germany Nov 22. xia huan also has an operation in Germany. ZHONG Qianxin‘s miniblog http://weibo.com/u/1823008827 xia hua
Sho Sasaki withdrawn, why? He is next in line to replace the 8th placed Wang Zengming who is the 3rd CHN qualifier where only two are accepted from any association. He is a very good player, an amazing late bloomer who rises from nowhere to play his best badminton from age 28, admirable.
The qualifiers Here's the qualifiers list as published by BWF : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=418680&tid=1 Wang Shixian will replace Wang Yihan position due to WYH injury, medical reason as mentioned on above list.
So, it will be easy outing for juliane in her group.. When compared to Yihan's brave fighting, shixian is nothing in front of juliane. But it wont be the case in the another group, where saina has to work hard against Li who is hot favourite to win the finals..
LCW will be placed in the group where HuYun is placed. Hence, the chance of going to quarters for this HongKong player is diminished.
