I am just wondering how the ranking is like in the following scenario:

1) LD beating LCW in the final
2) BCL beating LCW in the final
3) LCW beating LD in the final
3) LCW beating BCL in the final

May be our ranking expert badMania or ye333 can advise on this, thanks!

Since it's a Saturday afternoon, I will entertain u

Basically, Bao has a slim chance no chance of getting the no 2 seeding at the Olympics, unless he wins the subsequent India Open, Badminton Asia Championships and the subsequent tourneys post the Olympics qualification period.

Points for each individual player in the situations mentioned above, assuming LCW beats Wacha today:
1) LD: 85375; LCW: 81834; BCL: 68960
2) LD: 82595; LCW: 81834; BCL: 71740
3) LD: 83975; LCW: 83234; BCL: 68960
3) LD: 82595; LCW: 83234; BCL: 70340

3) LD: 82595; LCW: 83234; BCL: 70340

In conclusion, BCL will remain as 3rd spot regardless of what happens today.

Then, wouldn't it be better to "let" BCL into the final to strengthen his 3rd spot?

Typo....done in a hurry

Thanks for the reminder. Please correct it if there's any other things that I have calculated wrongly

In the world ranking as at 13th March 2008, Du Jing/Yu Yang moved to the top spot but Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen dropped to 4th spot. So, expecting YW/ZJW to "win" over DJ/YY in today's SF.

Markis/Hendra and Nova/Liliyana also replaced the Chinese pairs as world number ones. I guess they will further strengthen their positions after Swiss Open.

**xsakurax** · 03-15-2008, 04:15 AM

i think lin dan will win this time so that he can maintains his no 1 in world ranking..lcw is quite near behind him...it does not matter for bcl coz it is quite hard for him to take up the no2 spot..

I really hope the veterans triumph over the tomboys...they should retire in style after the Olympics.

If the ranking point doesn't change BCL's position, is now more important that Lin Dan to stay no.1 spot. To guarantee this, Lin Dan must beat LCW in this tournament and LCW can't catch up with the remaining tournament before Olympic.
Conclusion is that BCL will WO to LD.

If Taufik is not in Top4 seeds for OG08, he has no chance to stand in podium. From his current defeats to LCW and BCL, he stands <40% when meeting them again.

**baihaki** · 03-15-2008, 06:39 AM

but still a little chance in abc cham i think he will be seeded in fourth at the tournament regards he must defend that tittle

**phaarix** · 03-15-2008, 06:39 AM

Personally I'm not going to make any predictions until at least June/July! You just can't say how people will be playing in so many months.

Lin Dan [1] vs Bao Chunlai [3] -- yawn...no match here...Lin Dan will surely progress, unless, his "injury" strikes him again........

He he he, let's see later.
