    I am betting on these dates and we have booked our flights to HK for these dates. Unfortunately I cannot find any more detailed information about that event on the Web. More info anyone please?

    Hahaha I was in the same position last year.. What I did was I e-mailed the HK Badminton Ass. at hkba@hkolympic.org and asked them about the dates (and they replied). Anyway, they actually have a Calendar of Events 2009 uploaded on their website and there it said that the HKO will be on 9-15 Nov.. :D But to make sure you can try e-mailing them.

    Best of luck! Hopefully you guys will be able to attend the SS.. :)

    I just emailed them and they replied within an hour :)
    I got confirmation of the date and ticket sales will commence in mid October. I was asked to check their website around that time as well.

    Semi - 14th
    Quarter - 13th
    Round 2 - 12th
    Round 1 - 11th

    Last year some matches of Round 1 started on the 1st day after the qualifying round, that will be on Nov. 10. I believe it was due to limited number of courts at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium.:)

    I suggest you buy your tickets for the tournament early. HongKong open tickets are usually sold out very early.:)
