NZ Open entry list

[chemile]

Hmm... already seen the list, INA probably will bring 4 titles home... WS has Zhou Mi, I think this GP is too easy for INA players.

[badMania]

Not necessarily. The KLRC-based MAS players like Lee Tsuen Tseng and Sairul Amar Ayob + Mohd Roslin Hashim and Hsieh Yu-Hsin have more experience than Tommy Sugiarto. MS will be difficult to win!

WS is basically a Walkover unless Zhou Mi fumbles. Fransisca Ratnasari should progress to the Final.

MD is a battle of INA future pairs: Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie, Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan, and Adi Chrisna Wijaya/Syahmie Syarif Radhitian (if the later 2 pairs also go). Plus the new-combo of Rendra Wijaya/Alvent Yulianto. The only meaningful oppositions will be Chien Yu-Hsun/Lin Yu Lang and Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Hendra Wijaya. INA will be a strong favorite for the title and I hope either Edo/Lingga or Alvent/Rendra can return home with the title.

WD is a battle between Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei and Chien Yu-Chin/Chou Chia-Chi. INA pairs are relatively inexperienced to win a title in WD.

XD is also quite interesting with the TPE and SIN pairs providing the main challenge: Chen Hung-Ling/Chou Chia-Chi, Hsieh Yu-Hsin/Chien Yu-Chin, Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Yao Lei and Hendra Wijaya/Shinta Mulia Sari.

[Jagdpanther]

Not yet....they will decide by next week.....

I read in Kompas that all players will be returned to their clubs in November and recruit back after PBSI chosen their Chairman. I think this is the chance for PBSI to re-arrange recruitment system, with promotion and degradation...

[chemile]

I saw name Cheah Soon Kit will participate in KLRC New Zealand GP. Hmm.... old crack, is he still active as a player? I saw him at Istora at Indonesia Open last time, I don't think he can compete with younger players...

[Sandy]

I guess the decision is considered who will play in Kejurnas

Let we see,

Surya Naga, Will they let Alvent Yulianto play in here ?

Tangkas, weak point in WS but Yuan Kartika, Alfa or Rizki Amelia on the list. They need Endang & Nathalia too.

Jaya Raya, weak point in MS while Adi Pratama on the list. Not sure to Anggn, Fransiska & Nadya, no need Syahmie/Chrisna and other young MD & WD on the team.

Djarum, they need Yulianti in WD & XD, not sure to Andreas, Rendra or Tantowi. No need the youngsters like Febby, Bandar, Nugroho, Wifqi/Afiat, Debby/Komala or Anissa/Nimas Rani in Djarum's squad.

Ratih, Rendi Sugiharto/Budi Hartono
Semen Gresik, Aprilia
SGS, Devi Tika P.
Pikiran Rakyat, Richi/Keysia

Singapore team withdrew from New Zealand...they will participate Vietnam Open instead

[huangkwokhau]

Since most of the participants are from INA and SIN, if all the players from both countries withdraw, then, the tournament may well be cancelled.

Hope PBSI give chance Djarum send by funded themselves the Djarum's Pelatnas player to play in here while they won't play in Kejurnas

Febby, Adit, Bandar, Nugroho, Engga, Lingga/Edo, Wifqi/Afiat, Debby/Komala and Anissa/Nimas Rani.

As a matter of fact..Been told that |Djaru, may fund some of their players to NZO as PBSI has not withdrew officially yet.

Also Djarum will send Lingga-Edo...wifqi/Alfiat and Tantowi Yulianti to Vietnam and India Challenge

Correct!

I heard from Pelatnas people that Hau-ge is correct about the NZ Open participants from INA... INA will be represented by only 5 players:
Edo-Lingga and Wifqi-Alfiat in MD, the possible #1 and #2 seed [according to badMania]. They are funded by PB. Djarum, their club.
Tommy Sugiarto, the highest ranked MS from the INA roster. He is funded by [I assume] his father, Icuk...

[Krisna]

Ok, I am not trying to take sides or even defend PBSI here, but here's what I just read... from the revised GP Regulation [amended May 16, 2008]:

9. PENALTY FOR WITHDRAWALS

9.1. If a player

/ pair who is accepted into a tournament withdraws from the entire tournament or
any event thereof for any reason whatsoever within fifteen days before the first scheduled
match of the tournament, the Member Association entering the player / pair shall make a
payment of US $250 per player / pair to the organisers for the inconvenience caused by the

withdrawal.

The first day of competition from NZ Open is November 11. So from this, I understand why PBSI insist that the last day of withdrawing from NZ is today... No penalty if the withdrawal is done as late as October 27 [a.k.a. today]...
