    I think its because they want to give an equal chance to countries that sent 5 or 6 players cos some of the players have to play both the singles and doubles... example:if the first singles player have to play for the first doubles too, they can take some time to rest while the second and third singles matches are going on...I think someone mentioned it earlier...Im not sure..maybe they did change the format....Just a humble opinion... Im sorry if its incorrect...

    Yes, *izzyC* you're right : the standard order is S1,D1,S2,D2,S3 but the order can be changed if one or several players play both singles and doubles, so that they don't have to play two matches in a row.

    You can have a look at the official ruling on worldbadminton.net if you want more precise informations.
