Can someone ask paul to tell the BWF to have schedule to suit the asian countries? Play those asian games earlier so that their fans can enjoy them live. Same goes to the next Paris tournament and also in Asian located games where europe players will be played later so that their fans can enjoy them live. Anyone can second this? They should allow more fans to take videos to post it on youtube. After all, it makes badminton as a whole more popular.
Unless with "take" you mean shoot/film themselves of course instead of recording from tv ... Where are Europeans supposed to enjoy it live? Some crappy gambling sites and in the mean while stadiums will be empty because the "asians" will have finished playing already before it's evening and people arrive from work/school?
..dude, no matter how they move/schedule the Asian Games or the Commonwealth Games or the Antartica or Arctic Games around, the scheduling will be a conflict to the other BWF major events. If they move the AG to July, most likely the 2 SEA SS will be affected; if they move the AG to August, then the WC will be affected; if they move the AG to September, the WC will be affected and of course the other SS in September. It's gonna be a challenge, unless the BWF puts out stricter requirements for all associations to send their top players to play in their SS or face penalties. What is the priority? will the associations work together and respect BWF enough?...But aren't you glad the AG, CWG, OG are held every 4 yrs??..
