M/Q Report version 1 (updated 6th December 2013) : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=521240&dl=1 DRAW date : 24th December 2013
Wow, good news... Juliane Schenk is still playing! I once heard she is going to retire at the end of this year.
I was hoping for Lee hyun Il to show up, but he don't! Too bad. I guess his ranking is still too low.
Ko Sung Hyun will be otherwise engaged during the Korea Open: [h=3]Ko to get crew cut for Christmas[/h]
rumors that any male Korean players will get stronger after their military services, see what happened to Yoo Yeon Seung and Shon Wan Ho today...
any male who have undergone PROPER military training will definitely get stronger, physically and especially mentally.
Here's the draw : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...3F6867-A593-47DD-BD7E-2A6D41EB1842&d=20140107 but still too early.
I'm not so sure that explains it any more. In fact, if you look at total prize money for 2014, it's pretty similar: Korea --> $600,000 SS + $50,000 GP = $650,000 Malaysia --> $500,000 SSP +$120,000 GPG + $15,000 IC = $635,000 The ratio in prize money is nowhere near the ratio of the two nations' GDP. What's more, Indonesia is higher than both next year, regardless of the state of its GDP. England, on the other hand, finally matched its SSP prize money with Malaysia's SS in 2013, after two years of offering less. It must be more complicated.
It Is not correct....Korea still has GPG with $125000, all GPG next year will start with minimum $125000 and China GPG and Taipeh GPG could be $200000...China Challenge nownlisted $50000 as I have informed before...also Korea will host Badminton Asia Championship and we trybto put minimum $350000...our goal for Badminton Asia Championship is $500000, may be next year where China will host it 2015 and 2016...
Macau will have their GPG so only Korea GPG and Macau GPG did not sign with BWFbfor broadcasting because of the various requirements..
