..just for the fun of it, it's time to create polls on who will win in each event??..

Let's wait till the qualifiers are confirmed, and have already accepted the offer to compete.

...(if this is the correct venue; someone who's local & familiar, michidan?, please confirm) posted earlier in BC & taken courtesy of our jug8man...Someone please PM or wake up that guy, so he can join you guys, too!
If not mistaken, it is the same venue of the 2003 Malaysian Open. From the pics, i think you guys can figure out the seating plan (i would guess the red seats, 1st pic, are the VIP seating??). And looks like the hall will provide a cozy atmosphere for the spectators.

Seating plan:

If this is the correct venue, then the white FREE seating area could be a bit troublesome for viewing; as there are columns and structural features in the way (2nd pic). Better to get the other side that's open (1st pic).

Err, not really Chris. The White Seating Area is still the best, we can roam up to the side of the court we are interested in, so pillars are not much of an issue. Also, on that side we are quite a bit further away from the court, so the baseline should be quite visible.

Have you decided how you gonna get your tickets?
Roaming free sounds like a better idea than having to behave prim and proper like a VIP.

..feel free to roam as you guys like...

*Btw, according to the seating layout, there are FREE/"roam as one likes" seatings in the VIP side of the seating area. But it's way at the back..

[abedeng]

Yup, something like the old Grand Prix Finals of the 80s ....

2 Groups of 4, and crossover semifinals and finals. That amounts to 60 group matches and 75 matches in total for 4 days.

Only top-two of each group will play crossover semifinal, wow so tight competition since beginning...
