WOW! Almost all of top ranked players will join the biggest tournament ever! (in term of money prize)
I feel that Zakry/HTH don't deserve to be sent here. Fairuz/OSH maybe, since they are PERAK OPEN champions!
Yup, all top-10 WR players in 5 disciplines don't want to skip this most lucrative bdm tourney Beside the wow prize-money, there's regulation that top-10 WR players/pairs required to play all BWF Premier SS tournament.

According to M/Q report version 3 (updated 7th January 2011), no top players withdrew. Great for this high quality & first-class badminton tourney
It would give more chances for newer SS players to enter in this tournament . If top players withdrew, it would give more chances for newer SS players to enter in this tournament. .
Additional withdrawal according to M/Q Report version 5 (updated 11th January 2011) : Pi Hongyan (FRA), Andre K.Tedjono (INA), Ajay Jayaram (IND), etc.
I thought Korea open will start on Jan. 25 but tournamentsoftware still doesn't have the event...what's going on?
Try this link http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/tournament.aspx?id=CA3FC379-2AF4-444B-B9D3-6BF23C02C30E
What are the officials doing, I wonder? There are NO NAMES, no ENTRIES! They have to spend a lot of time to get it updated before tomorrow...!
Seems like for Premier Super Series, BWF use a micro-site from tournamentsoftware. Might be different team that manage the content, because the website look and feel is different too.
