Good question. Yes, there is a chance. If INA wins rubber, CHN wins straight, then Fuzzy takes 2nd spot. If INA wins rubber, CHN wins rubber, then Fuzzy takes 2nd spot. If INA wins straight, CHN wins rubber, then KKK/TBH takes 2nd spot. If INA wins straight, CHN wins straight, there will a 3-way points tie-break for INA and both MAS pairs. Current points, INA -17 Fuzzy +3 KKK/TBH +3 So, the only chance a MAS pair will miss out is if both lose by straight games. But even so, if Fuzzy can avoid losing by 10 points or more, there will be at least one MAS pair in the semi-final. (i.e. if Fuzzy loses 21-16, 21-17 or better, one MAS pair will advance.)
Sorry, you don't need to be so busy with that calculations. For any combinations, in the semifinal: The #1 in Group A will be lost to #2 of Group B AND the #2 in Group A will be lost to #1 of Group B. Just for Laugh! Anyway, thanks for the information that I was also thinking of.
Is anyone out there watching Peter Gade and Boonsak Ponsana? Just saw the end of the first game 21-13 for Gade. Boonsak was not playing, how shall one say, inspired.
Boonsak did some great defence in last rally, but all for nought as he never continues to play passively.
seems as Peter is through, so LCW can select whether he wants to finish this tournament in semis or stay until Sunday LOL
It was a good bye since yersterday right? And they just completed to fill bottom spot of the group .. sigh I am disappointed (
