2009 All-England: Where would LYB be seated when BCL vs LD? . We shall see at the 2009 All-England today, Thursday Mar 5 (Round 2), how this long awaited match will unfold. Court No.2 at 8:35 pm : Chunlai BAO [CHN] -vs- [CHN] Dan LIN [2] And wondering where LYB would be seated? .
i think haven't all the top chinese MS in one side othe ladder is boring. I like to see lcw, pg and TH to face CH, BCL and/or LD at least in the QF and SF. Jamming them all in all side only to spur rumors of game fixing.
Its not funny.....Limsy.......I mean Anand Pawar and A bhat......they are young coming playing ...right...........Arif, TCS and LDR...lost to them....
You are already insinuating fixing by using words like "jamming them all in one side". Tweaking the table purposedly to look more interesting for spectators, now that's fixing.
there is no perfect solution. Seeding of draw is by ranking so i say ranking is some what flawed. BWF should revamp the ranking point formula. For ex. why not retain all earning point for every player for seeding purpose. Why the need to expire earning points after 12 months? It is not fixing if bwf change the ranking and seeding rules. Popularity of a sports is only as good as it is enjoyed by the fans.
Like you said, there is no perfect solution. To expire earning points after 12 months (or some other fixed period) is EXTREMELY important. If you don't expire it, the older players will have a marked advantage. I could garner tonnes of points 5 years ago and none since, and still be WR #1. The seeding rules can't be changed much, because ultimately, it's best to follow the rankings. So, we need to improve the rankings. However, the current way of ranking is already quite solid and is commonly used by many other sports. The only thing I can think of to tweak the system is to give more weightage to the Olympics and WC (i.e. more ranking points).
i only gave a highlight, i didn't mean that all past points should be retained. I prefer a gradual or prorated weighting, not stone cold cut of point that were 12 months plus 1 day old. For ex., pending refinement, i like to keep points for 5 years for each players, with 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5 proration factor applied to each of the 5 years. Since we all know TH fans like to talk about his past, it would benefit TH as well, and he might not be stuck at such low ranking when many fans agreed that he is still a formidable player. This isn't hard to track, with computer of today, it is no more extra work than what we have now.
lets just wait calmly with our popcorn and coke or coffee ready to see whats going to happen in this match later
Bjorndalen also has won all titles even more than LD. So? He is still at the top and still battles for wins like crazy
Will this match..........be the most talk about...or...the most entertaining..or.....the most boring one.................yb...l.......decides..!
The diminishing points feature is something that can be considered. The plus is that it takes tournaments beyond 12 months into account, which arguably can be considered a measure of a player's strength. The minus is that it takes 5 years for a new player to maximise his points.
erm....to get back wr 1....he need to win ae,so,india open,abc,sudirman cup,po,io,sgo,to and a wc ...atleast........ u sure they are junior????...how old are they????....
If we are talking about Pawar and Bhat, they are not juniors anymore. Spoke with them on the Belgian International last year
