I know about this, but I thought Hau-Ge mentioned in one of the thread that they are reverting to the old-format of bi-annual WC, just to make it more prestigious. In the even years, they are planning to have the Invitational World Cup thingy.
An interesting fact...

Off topic-Hmm..
Btw, barring any changes, there will be a WC tourney, every year, up til the 2012 Olympics; 2010 in Paris and 2011 in London, as a pre-cursor to the 2012 Olympics.
Perhaps the plan to revert the WC back to a biennial event will occur post the 2012 OG??..
..the proper term is biennial. A biannual event means it happens twice a yr.

In the first 2.5 years of their partnerships (2004-mid 2006), Fu/Cai win only 6 titles (including the cap ayam titles
.........A mere 4 titles (1 cap ayam), but since the WC victory in 2007, they went on to win:
..........
Even if you discount the "cap ayam" titles won by Koo/Tan in 2007 and 2008, ..................
Koo/Tan had their solitary chance in 2007 and failed big time in front of the home crowd. Naturally, they get condemned big time and critics had their field day. They managed to partially reedem themselves by winning the "cap ayam" Macau GP Gold (despite beating the newly crowned World Champions Kido/Hendra in the SF, and also with Fu/Cai's presence) and Denmark SS (yet again beating Kido/Hendra) later on. Surely I can foresee they will still get criticized for many things despite the Swiss SS victory yesterday (eg: waste tax-payers money for QF loss at the previous week's AE)
.......
As a badminton fan from INA, I find it amusing that they get condemned by some MAS fans'. Coach Sigit Pamungkas will be more than happy to take Koo/Tan in if BAM is to kick Koo/Tan out for underperforming in the past 2.5 years. Even if the pair ends the career without any more titles, Koo/Tan's achievements is something that they should never feel ashamed of

My friend, thank you for the info & entertainment. I laughed every time at the "cap ayam" part.
Sorry for the ......, paragraph too long...No problem, if KKK/TBH really get kicked out, KLRC can take them, better still, not wasting tax-payers $$$$. Better yet, with Rexy in tow also, since Rexy contract will end mid 2009.
Wah, you want them to join your heros MK/Hendra in INA??? Msia's neighbour down south will grab them 1st lah, uncle Loh will be happy then.

I forgot completely abt KLRC
Sure, that will solve the equation. How abt KLRC now playing the role of BAM? Surely no-one will now moan about waste of taxpayers money in this difficult times.
no lar...then...the new statement will be:why malaysia have so stupid ppl????sponsoring them to tournament....malaysia boleh....
