The qualifications have started today and I can't seem to find any results nor live scoring on the official web site. Does anyone know where the live results can be found??
No there aren't any results. The site for the qualifying rounds is http://www.baofe.co.uk/events/horizon/110897649405ibbe0amain.htm but it isn't updated.
Expect very poor updates. The worst is on the Saturday & Sunday for the SF and F when the site minders seem all to go out for drinks of take spouses out to dinner or something. No results till the Monday following- its murder. The Qualifiers starter this morning 9 am UK time and 14 hours after we still have not a beep. Someone from the Forum in Birmingham will be better. Let's cheer up and just take what comes. Y
I doubt it, Yonex are contracted to sponsor it until I think 2010? It is 1726 uk time now, so only 8 1/2 hours since play started, but never theless more update would be better. Also keep in mind it is only the Qualifyers today.
If you follow the direct links from the baofe website, then it doesnt even mention the qualifyers. My guess is they will be updated tonight, then live results start tomorrow.
Still no updates on the results site, but this story give two results. Unfortunatley it doesn't even say who gopichand lost to http://www.baofe.co.uk/?session=134546783&selected=2884&
Poor Gopi...his greatest days for badminton are behind him now. Also, the Indian team lost £5000 to theft in Germany!!!
