BWF has awarded Indonesia GP gold to be held in East Kalimantan on October 12 to 17

Yup, good news Now, INA has three level international tourneys (SS, GP Gold and Int.Challenge).

East Kalimantan province, either Samarinda or Balikpapan.

The main sponsor has not been decided... but the Governor of East Kalimantan has so much money that he probably feels he does not need any sponsors at all...

So, it's not going to be a Djarum or Astec Indonesia GP Gold?

I do not think they even pair before but we know that Grace/Butet lost to MAS's WD in seagames...

..thanks for confirming that..
I guess they've sparred in Pelatnas before, so they would at least already be familiar w/each other. I guess it now comes down to how they'll do against real competitions.
*Hauge, so, no trip to M'sia, yet??

Having looked at the Calendar for 2010, here's my suggestion on the tourneys that the Pelatnas players should be aiming for:

FIRST TEAM PLAYERS:
Feb 2010 - Thomas/Uber Cup Preliminaries
Mar 2010 - All England & Swiss SS
Apr 2010 - Badminton Asia Championships (for some first-team players)
May 2010 - Thomas/Uber Cup FINALS
Jun 2010 - Singapore & Indonesia SS; or Thailand GPG (for some first-team players)
Jul 2010 - Malaysia GPG or Macau GPG (for some first-team players)
Aug 2010 - World Championships (for those who qualified) or Chinese-Taipei GPG
Sep 2010 - Japan SS
Oct 2010 - Indonesia GPG (for some first-team players)
Nov 2010 - Asian Games
Dec 2010 - Hong Kong SS

Again, 10-12 Events depending on the individual players' needs. Pairs like Nova/Butet and Kido/Hendra probably need to compete in less events (preferably less than 10) to make sure they are in a prime condition for the WC and Asian Games - the two main targets for them.

SECOND TEAM AND PRATAMA PLAYERS:
Apr 2010 - Badminton Asia Championships & Ciputra Hanoi Int Challenge
Jun 2010 - Indonesia SS & Thailand GPG
Jul 2010 - Malaysia GPG & Indonesia Int. Challenge or Macau GPG
Aug 2010 - Chinese-Taipei GPG
Oct 2010 - Vietnam Open GP & Indonesia GPG
Dec 2010 - India Open GP

At most 10 Events for the Second Team players to get important match experiences and climb the rankings table.

JUNIOR PLAYERS:
Mar 2010 - AJC
Apr 2010 - WJC
Jun 2010 - Tangkas Alfamart Junior Int Challenge
Jul 2010 - Singapore Int Series and Indonesia Int. Challenge
Aug 2010 - Youth Olympics Games

Priority is in AJC, WJC & Youth Olympics Games.

But until when Nova will stay on with Butet.......i hope he could stay longer...I will miss him....

Hendra and Kido, at las, been given permission to leave Pelatnas, with one condition that they have to play for INA team if needed and sponsored by Yonex...LIning was about to sign them BIG time

[badMania]

So, Rendy Sugiarto lost again in Kejurnas....the time to get a new partner should be imminent now

And I hope the coaches don't break Angga/Rian for the sake of Rendy

I would like to see Rendy partnered with Riky Widianto!

Well, at least Kido/Setiawan will still joining INA Thomas team and possibly Asian Games...

Who will be coaching them? Or are they going to do it alone by themselves? I find that players who strike alone struggle to win titles.

I understand that PBSI want to make sure that MK and HS will still play for INA, but what is this "sponsored by Yonex" thingy? This just doesn't feel right...

Tell me about it...

Many things don't feel right about PBSI's policies...

Bute pairs with Devin also in the mix..and Grace/Tantowi..I guess Tantowi's partner is is still injured..

Tantowi's partner in 2009 (Richie) underwent an appendicitis surgery...
