I am not sure whether this tournament really needs to be played over the Olympics Qualifying Period. It may just hamper the chances of players like Tommy Sugiarto or Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan or Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra from qualifying to the Olympics as the schedule is really quite punishing for them! This is how the calendar will look like for these players: 03/13-03/18 Swiss Open GPG 03/23-03/25 Axiata Cup 03/31-04/02 Axiata Cup 04/03-04/09 Australia Open GPG* 04/13-04/15 Axiata Cup 04/17-04/22 BAC* 04/24-04/29 India Open SS In particular, it will affect some of the players' preparation for the Australia Open and the BAC (both are GPG-level tourneys) as they need to fly to Sydney & Wuhan just 1-2 days before these tourneys start. Remember, there will only be 3 tourneys left for these players to collect pts after the Swiss Open GPG!
The affected ones are: Simon, Taufik, Tommy, Bona-Ahsan, Hendra-Kido, Alven-AG... Personally, I don't think their chances of getting the Olympic gold are that good... So, better make use of their time getting prize money... Our best shot at getting the Olympic gold is still: Lily-Tontowi... furthermore, Greysia-Meliana/Vita-Nadya and Firda/Febe/Linda are all not involved in Axiata Cup. So, no difference for them...

. We still do not know, ngkt67 When we know (and hopefully we are able to watch live-streaming), we shall post it here, in this thread. .
Yeah. I do agree with you.. For all INA players except Towi/Butet shall take part in Axiata cup since there is no difference for them to train hard for OG2012 preparation when the time is just around the corner.. too late.... Towi/Butet should concentrate more on their training, stamina building, & technique smoothness.... No point wasting time & energy for prize money where you can make a history in just several months to go...
LCW will miss this 2012 Axiata Cup . Yes... I was expecting to receive this news (after hearing LCW's injury at the 2012 All England). .
i saw the advertsing on starworld tv it looks interesting to watch, but too bad no time no money since its too for either Jakarta or KL
Yeah ... The injury just comes at the right timing...He just spends his holiday for jogging, running & shadowing... All the best for Dato..
Axiata Cup Vintage Racket Photo Contest. Grab free ticket for this event. Anyone going for this event?
. IMHO, the GARUDA Team is the strongest. It's more than half expected that GARUDA will win the inaugural event of this tournament. .
with the biggest prize money for a team event.... Axiata Cup will make Thomas cup and Sudirman looks so secondary lol.....
The winning team will take home USD 400k...this is a lot of money...can use it to train more players lol...think this is the richest badminton championship ever!!! so who's going ???
