    Super Series which will be offering minimum prize money of US$200,000 will begin in January 2007. Malaysia Open will be the 1st tournament to hold the Super Series. The Grand Prix series which will be held 12 times thruout the year in different countries most likely will last for at least 3 years.
    With the new structure of the Grand Prix, it will definately attract more viewers and also Top Ranked players to join in.
    After Malaysia Open, next stop will be Korea Open. Among the other Opens is All England, Swiss Open, Singapore Open, Indonesia Open, China Masters, Japan Open, Denmark Open, French Open, China Open and Hong Kong Open. The venue for the last tournament in December will be decided later on.

    Mark your calendar guys. This time Malaysia Open 07 will be in Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. It was used as a venue for Gymnastics during the Commonwealth Games before.

    Yeah, more convienient for me to walk there from my house as I reckon there will be massive traffic jams as always during football matches or concerts. Especially now that they are building a big flyover near the stadium, potholes are everywhere~! Come on Samy, do something~!:p

    wow, that's quite a big jump up for the french and swiss opens.
    weren't they like 2/3 star events before?
    anyways, it's great that they're doing this, i'm sure it'll help improve badminton's popularity.
    i still think the money on offer is still too low, i think IBF should be looking for more sponsors.

    Don't know anything about the ticket prices. Its still way too early to know. I'm sure someone will post it once the tickets is out.

    2 tournaments in a year at the same venue. Other states' badminton association do not want to organize it? Disappointing though...cuz I was hoping for them to come over to Penang. :) It has been a few years back since they last held Malaysia Open in Penang.
