Yeah, when players withdraw or retire, what has it got to do with China? It's BWF who has to do some serious self-reflection.

**Justin L** · 12-12-2012, 08:05 AM

Did I read it right, LCW withdrew after losing to DuPY? On what grounds?

**Borbor** · 12-12-2012, 08:16 AM

do you get fined for withdrawing? He wasn't going to play to begin with after HKG.

China are the only ones that bid for it with a good amount of prize money. No other country bids to host it with the money they offer.

Therefore without them, it wouldn't happen. So it is a good statement

They have a super series title to their name, one more than any Indian player has apart from Saina

Stop finding faults with everything, you wouldn't stand a chance either

The players will get fined USD5,000 if they dont show up. Even then, I'm surprised with the high number of walkovers, I thought some of the playrs/pairs would want go fat in SS Finals, for the ranking points & $$$$. Kim/Kim retired, so could be due to injury. Then Yoo/Jang and Eom/Jang also gave walkover, odd.
After OG effects maybe??

Still you are missing something.. Superseries finals will be conducted even when China did not take part in bid..

This is not a local tournament which will be stopped as such when china did not take part in bid.Lol.

BWF will definitely find a way even when no other country is taking part in the bid.. Lol..

Yes, but with less prize money. That's the point. Without the prize money being good, what's the point in having the tournament

**Justin L** · 12-12-2012, 08:32 AM

Heard GC said Poon Lok Yan is injured? Another withdrawal from the tournament?

So, what does it mean? BWF wont conduct superseries finals at all without china??? Definitely not..

**etudiant** · 12-12-2012, 08:33 AM

Seriously, what happened to LCW ?

Another questions :

Will Bodin/Jongjit also withdrew ?

Hkg WD play like they are amateurs, they can do better than that !!! (Injured ??

)

Actually scorpion, 1st 2 years or so nobody bid or stuff like that, BWF asked Msia to host it as its HQ is in Msia. Prize money, if not mistaken from Yonex & others, BWF found the sponsors. It's hard, but yeah, it's BWF responsibility to find a way no matter what since they are organising it

If someone bids to offer more money than china, then they'll hold it elsewhere. Otherwise, why would you give it to somewhere offering less money? That wouldn't make sense.

Anyway at least there is a good crowd, unlike at some other Super Series tournament held earlier this year... Can't even give seats away...
