Finally, the Top-4 come up in INA 2009; their matches will change the table. P.S. Please check out the scoring graphs for the QF matches of the top teams; the top 4 are real strong against the other lower-ranked teams; that's why the teams like Fuzzy can't be in this "who's the strongest" competition. Enjoy~
If you don't advocate a specific team, why highlight/circle/outline the fact that JJS/LYD have the best score according to your method? Why not let the facts speak for themselves instead of you shamelessly circling their totals? Would you do the same thing if CY/FHF were in the lead?
Well, if you've been following the LYD/JJS thread, you'll understand that s/he's trying so hard with every methods possible, to prove that his gods are the best of the bests of the bests MD in the world...
Hmm.. - I hope you're right on with what narnia meant by "reading the ranking system line by line".. - If that's what he meant, then didn't i post the same thing earlier? That it's all about the number of tourneys the top 10 MD pairs have participated in? If so, what is there to be surprised abt??.... ..btw, i also count the AE tourney as one of the top, prestigious baddy tourneys besides the Olympics. Those two, IMO, are tops. Kido & Setiawan have the Olympics title to brag abt; LYD & JJS have the AE title to brag abt. ..nod, nod, nod...those are some delicious looking MD lineup i've ever seen in quite some time. I guess after all the dust is settled, later tomorrow, we'll find out, which pairs are really the top dawgs in MD.. ..i think narnia has shown the facts and they speak for themselves. Nothing to argue there, despite his LYD & JJS-biased approach. What he probably needs to provide also, IMO, is the overall record for each of the top 10 MD pairs so we can see and compare each of the pairs' real & complete stats/record.
That's because the purpose of this thread is to identify "the strongest" so I did that. Any problem? Yeah, as I said, I will update the table as the stats change. Enjoy~
there are merits to what narnia is doing. certainly quite innovative way of ranking a small number of players/pairs who frequently play each other so the table is well populated. keep updating it. thanks.
Sorry, I'm just interest in Most Recent stats; 1 or 1.5 yrs time span would be enough in the fast-changing MD world. If you need it, you can easily calculate it with the master table by yourself.
H2H Stats after WC 2009 There were two matches in WC 2009 between the top MD players in the table. Enjoy~
To reflect the WC 2009: 1. The top three (in the absence of MK/HS) teams have played each other and showed they are real top of the world badminton. 2. KKK/TBH lost their winning game to JJS/LYD as losing their concentration at the final stage, which is their on-going problem. (So, KKK/TBH's chance in the table a bit decreased.) 3. More experienced WC champion, CY/FHF, could manage the games to the victory after long rallies. Especially, while the CHN team making less errors, the KOR duo committed more mistakes, both unusual. (CY/FHF's chance quite improved reducing the margin with the top, JJS/LYD.) - A minor one was the advancement of TG/Howard Bach of USA, who beat MB/CM. But I doubt Howard can continue to make it and Tony is getting old - he tends to lose his focus in the rubber set in recent tournaments, even though he showed some consistency in this WC. Enjoy~
In my past calculation for the Fuzzy team, it was about 20% against the top players in the table, so they were out. Fuzzy team's performance is fuzzy, that's the problem.
