till now ,no information can be found about the draw even on the official website. what's worng? and, who are coming to dinner? some media says even some of the top players ( like XXF, LD, YW.ZJW etc) are not so willing to participate this game as 1, no IBF points, 2, too close to Asia Game. 3, too tired i do not want to see players compete to lose as earlier as possible so that they can have more time to prepare for Doha. all do not have the desire to win. only heard that BCL is determined to win the title after defeated by CH. will taufik be there? any other non-chinese players? hope it will not become a boring event, if not a mess. (hope i am wrong) BTW, no "why --- lost" needed this time otherwise the forum will be thronged by this kind of thread as I am afraid most top players will lose easily.
oh if Taufik is going there, he is determined to win I bet. so the MS final will be between Taufik and BCL. HA!
李永波最后表示,接下来参加亚运会的队员将不参加马上开始的世界杯比赛,而是回到北京,专心备战亚运会。他说:“虽然亚运会的关注程度比不上奥运会,总局也没有给我们下具体的任务,但我们会全力以赴,全面超过上届!” http://sports.sina.com.cn/s/2006-10-23/01551004867s.shtml what?! those going to play in Doha are NOT going to the World CUP? then who else left? Only CH...
no they don't get points....anybody knows who are the malaysians that'll be going? i only know fairuzizuan/lin woon fui are going
About the only thing the winners get is the title of 'World Cup Champion' which tends to mislead people into thinking that they are world champions. I don't know why they bother with this invitational event. If the proceeds are going to some charity, that's a different thing and it might even be fun, but to hold an event like this and give no IBF points? I don't see why.
hm...it's not gonna kill them to give out some points here if they want the top players to play...n money's good..haha. btw...still no link?
Just checked The Star Online: from yesterday's article - Besides Fairuzizuan-Woon Fui, the other Malaysians who will compete in the World Cup are Gan Teik Chai-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif, Kuan Beng Hong, Yeoh Kay Bin, Wong Mew Choo, Julia Wong and Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty.
