But the complete participants in each discipline, esp. in MS (64), are many more than your shaded tables (the first 24 highlighted)... how about the REST? And what's the significance of these first 24 players? Yes, for seeding but not all the 24 are seeded, right?
how on earth is KKK/TBH ranked number 2 in the world ??? they keep losing but their ranking get higher ???? is the ranking system based on number of losses or how loud you shout at your opponents ???
They are frequently participate in super series, although does not bring back gold, at least they get points.

I remember to read in some posts by AlanY in SN's thread pointed out how bizarre some particular point calculation is... here are the posts after some search... Dunno how many more anomaly the system has.
