wheww,, Asian Games on november but INA has it squad announced so early??

Almost similar with 2010 TUC squad, minus Maria Kristin, Anneke Feinya, Hendra AG that replaced by Aprilia Yuswandari, Pia Zebadiah and Fran Kurniawan respectively.

 

Well, I don't know if WCH is still around for AG for MAS squad.
But we all know that LCW and HH is gonna be in, as well as Koo/Tan.

 

I think CHN will opt for PP/TQ as their third pair instead.

 

I agree. But then, always PP/TQ get selected instead, Uber Cup also, dunno why.
As for MAS, I think maybe its better to pick GWS/TKS over Mak/TWK, see who can tahan big match more. But then, hope Fuzzy is out.

 

There must be some quota system for main draw in the Games.
Anybody aware how many entries per country is given in main draw? Will there be a qualification round as well?

 

- If not mistaken, there are a max. of 2 entries per discipline per country.
- If i recall, they started with R32 in the individual disciplines in the 2006 Asian Games. Thus no Qualification Rd. in each discipline.

read this newsflash from Badzine :

http://www.badzine.net/news/asian-games-china-to-send-4-shuttlers-in-ws/7617/

Four WS from China : Lu Lan, Wang Xin, Wang Shixian and Jiang Yanjiao....

 

..not all 4 will participate in the individual event though; unless the organizer changed the regulation from last time..my hunch to play in the WS event, barring any catastrophic injury, will be WX and WSX..

 

Yes that's what I also heard : only 2 entries per draw for each country for the individual event

 

Yup, correct

ENTRY POLICIES :

- Singles event : Each participating NOC may enter maximum of two athletes in each event
- Doubles event : Each participating NOC may enter maximum two pairs (4 players) each in men and women doubles events and two pairs in mixed doubles event
- Team event : Each participating NOC may enter only one team of 4-10 players in each event
- Total entry : Each participating NOC may enter a maximum 10 male and 10 female athletes in badminton competition

ENTRY BY NAME DEADLINE : 30th September 2010, 24.00 (Beijing time)

Blimey! I am pretty darn impressed by your crystal ball reading skills

 

PBSI official said that Lilyana won't be paired with Nova at AG, but with Tantowi instead.....For this decision they might have a chance to meet strong pair in early round because obviously they won't be seeded...Reason is Nova/Lily lately couldn't defeat young and energetic Chn pair so Ina quite gambling to put Tantowi which only 23 yo to head on power with power style with any youngsters pair...I hope it's worth it..^^

n.b : It means we have to say early goodbye to Nova/Lily.....T_T

 

- Apparently, according to report from Hau-ge, Nova has resigned and will play independently.
- IMO, it's about time; as a matter of fact, it's overdue for Liliyana to have a new XD partner playing consistently w/her. And i do think this is the way to go. Match youth with youth and compete vs. CHN's young and energetic pairs.
