gade and KJ : indonesia badminton super liague Gade and KJ are interested to play in Indonesia badminton super liague, gade wants 80 million rupiahs/month (8000 US$/mo) sallary i think only few clubs (Bimantara,jayaraya and djarum) can afford it
ya... gade said that... he's really interested.. but still wants big salary you can read it at http://www.kompas.com
is that comparable to what the other big players are paid? or is he asking for a lot more than normal?
I think that's a lot of money... ...at least, for playing in Indonesia.. ..I guess PGade wants to get the same amt of salary as he's earning while playing in the Danish badminton league?!?!.. *Btw, kwun/mods, don't know if you guys want to merge this thread/posts with the one in the Professional Players sub-forum??..as it's mentioning the same topic as well..
One of the Indonesian badminton club, Musica Champion Kudus is keen on getting Chen Hong who has just retired from Chinese National team (world Ranking No.4 ) and hoping to get Chen's participation in Indonesia Badminton Super League, according to Heryanto Arbi.
I just heard from Musica Champion people that Li Yongbo did not allow Chen Hong to compete in Indonesia's Superliga Badminton... [even though Chen has already retired from the national team, Li Yongbo still have the power to stop him from competing]...
My info said: the club interested in hiring Peter Gade is Suryanaga Gudang Garam... [And I think they have the money...] PB. Tangkas [formerly Bimantara Tangkas and later Bogasari Tangkas]... mmm... I think they have some cash flow problems... They don't have money to hire a lot of expensive foreign players.
Hey everyone, I just got the news that Indonesia is going to organise Indonesian League where the big clubs in Indonesia is going to compete against each other. It will have Thomas/Uber Cup format and each club is entitled to two foreign players. The total prize is around USD 98,000. For the full story, http://www.badzine.info/content/view/244/2/
Preliminary round The preliminary round is set to start in 2 weeks. If I am not mistaken: April 3-7 in Surabaya. 11 clubs will compete for the last 3 spots of the male competition: PB Indocafe; Medan, North Sumatra PB Ratih; Banten PB Aufa; Jakarta PB Musica Champion; Central Java PB BPKD KuKar; East Kalimantan PB CBN Batam; Kepulauan Riau PB Wima; Surabaya, East Java PB Mutiara; Bandung, West Java PB Kotab Dishub; Bandung, West Java PB South Suco; South Sulawesi PB Randik; South Sumatra 8 clubs will compete for the last 3 spots of the female competition: PB Indocafe; Medan, North Sumatra PB Ratih; Banten PB Bina Bangsa; Jakarta PB CBN Batam; Kepulauan Riau PB Semen Gresik; Surabaya, East Java PB Mutiara; Bandung, West Java PB Kotab Dishub; Bandung, West Java PB South Suco; South Sulawesi I predict the usual suspects will go through to the final round [in June 23rd - July 1]. By usual suspects, I mean: Mutiara Bandung and Ratih Banten.... both in the men and women event. The very last spot for the men's draw... maybe CBN Batam [Riau Kepulauan] or Musica Studios [Central Java]. Musica is full of former or current Djarum players who are not chosen to be part of the main team. The last ladies' spot... let me go with PB Semen Gresik. They have Aprillia Yuswandari who just won the German Junior...
INA is the first country to create Badminton League. Let's see how far this league will bring positive effect for INA bdm as globally! Last info -- MAS's Lee Tsuen Seng will join this Super League also VIE's Nguyen Tien Minh. Meanwhile, PG and KJ plus Chen Hong still waiting further confirmation.
Indonesia will be the first one in Southeast Asia. Japan already have a badminton league and the corporate sponsors are Sanyo, NEC, etc. Germany and Denmark has a badminton league, I am not sure about Holland, but I would say so. Denmark's league is very competitive and have helped develop the young Danish talents. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the German league. They are waaayyy too dependent on foreign players. As a result, the local German players are not as well developed [yet]. I know they have improved their Thomas and Uber Cup standings in recent years, but not fast enough... [this is my opinion, of course] Other news: Chen Hong was not allowed to play by Li Yongbo. No surprise there... Peter Gade and Kenneth J. wanted to play, but not this year. This year the schedule is too tight and they want to spend time with their family. [I can understand that] Lee Tsuen S. will play for Musica Champions. Nguyen T. will play for that Kalimantan club [forgot the name... sorry] Preliminary round will be in Surabaya next week... For further updates, the newest news [in Indonesian] will be at www.bulutangkis.com
Superliga Badminton [FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+2]Tsuen Seng Ramaikan Persaingan[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Djarum Superliga Badminton dipastikan bakal berjalan sengit. Kepastian itu didapat setelah pemain nomor empat Malaysia, Lee Tsuen Seng, bakal membela klub Musica Champion Kudus, Jawa Tengah. Siapa lagi yang akan berlaga? Tsuen Seng kini membela klub KLRC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dia menduduki peringkat 21 dunia. Prestasi spektakulernya adalah ketika mengalahkan Taufik Hidayat pada final Piala Thomas 2002 di Guangzhou, Cina, meski akhirnya Malaysia dikalahkan Indonesia 2-3. Selain Lee Tsuen Seng, menurut Ario Satrio Prakoso, Wakil Direktur Operasional Badan Liga, Superliga Badminton juga akan dibanjiri pemain asing. Memang para pemain itu belum mencapai level papan atas dunia, namun kehadiran mereka tentu akan menambah persaingan. Pemain asal Vietnam, Nguyen Tien Minh, bakal membela klub BPKD Kutai Kartanegara, Kalimantan Timur. Pemain kelahiran 12 Februari 1983 itu pada Asian Games XV Doha tampil mengejutkan. Pemain yang berdomisili di Ho Chi Minh itu mengalahkan Lee Hyun-il (Korea) dan Boonsak Ponsana (Thailand) di nomor beregu. “Kedua pemain itu sudah pasti bakal tampil di Surabaya. Sementara itu, klub-klub lain juga terus memburu pemain dunia untuk tampil di Superliga Badminton,” tambah Ario. CBN Mundur Djarum Superliga Badminton dimulai dengan menggelar babak kualifikasi di GOR Sudirman Surabaya, 3-7 April. Sebanyak 10 klub putra dan 7 putri dari berbagai daerah di Tanah Air tampil untuk mencari tiga tiket putra-putri ke Putaran Final di Jakarta, 21 Juni–1 Juli. Tiga klub putra-putri itu nanti akan menggenapi lima klub utama yang sudah lolos langsung ke Putaran Final. Mereka adalah Tangkas Jakarta, Jayaraya Jakarta, SGS Bandung, Djarum Kudus, dan Suryanaga Surabaya. Format liga menggunakan sistem seperti Piala Thomas di putra dan Piala Uber (putri). Sebenarnya ada klub CBN Batam, yang di awal mau ikut, namun karena ada persyaratan maksimal klub merekrut dua pemain asing, mereka akhirnya memilih mundur. “Tim putra-putri CBN mengundurkan diri karena tidak memiliki pemain,” jelas Ario. Klub Ratih Banten juga tak mau kalah. Mereka mendatangkan dua pemain asal Jepang. Dua pemain asal Negeri Sakura itu merupakan hasil negosiasi yang dilakukan Reony Mainay, yang sebelumnya pernah melatih di sana. Sementara itu, klub Mutiara Bandung harus memanggil Atu Rosalina. Mantan pemain Pelatnas Cipayung itu setelah mengundurkan diri kemudian meniti karier sebagai pemain bersama klub Denmark. (bhw) [/SIZE]Peserta Seleksi [SIZE=-1]Putra 1. Indocafe Medan 2.

Sebagai juara Kejurnas Bulutangkis 2006 di Medan, bersama lima klub terkuat lain, mereka mendapat wildcard untuk lolos ke putaran final. Meskipun begitu, klub yang didirikan pengusaha Ciputra itu tidak mau tinggal diam. Menyadari sektor tunggal putra lemah, mereka ingin menambal kekuatan dengan merekrut pemain asing sebagai persiapan menuju putaran final. Pemain yang diincar adalah Lee Hyun-il. Pemain asal Korea Selatan yang menduduki peringkat 12 dunia itu dinilai cocok untuk membela Jaya Raya. Hal ini diakui salah satu Pembina mereka, Retno Kustijah. “Kami memang naksir Lee Hyun-il,” sebut Retno. Sementara itu, menurut Wakil Direktur Operasional Badan Liga, Ario Satrio Prakoso, Jaya Raya tak hanya memburu Hyun-il. Klub ibu kota itu juga melirik pemain Belanda berdarah Indonesia, Dicky Palyama, dan pemain India, Anup Sridhar. Kalau mereka tampil, dipastikan bahwa liga bulutangkis bakal meriah dan ketat!

Tsuen Seng Enhances Competition The Djarum Badminton Superleague is expected to be hotly contested. That much is certain after Malaysia’s 4th ranked player, Lee Tsuen Seng, will be spearheading the challenge from the Musica Champion Kudus Club, Central Java. Who else will be competing? Tsuen Seng now represents the KLRC Club, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is currently ranked 21st in the world. His most spectacular achievement was in defeating Taufik Hidayat in the final of the 2002 Thomas Cup in Guangzhou, China, despite Malaysia eventually going down to Indonesia 2-3. Other than Lee Tsuen Seng, according to Ario Satrio Prakoso, the Directorate Representative of the League Operations, the Badminton Superleague will have significant foreign participation. Despite most of them not being in the forefront of the world rankings, their presence alone is expected to enhance the competition even further. The Vietnamese born player, Nguyen Tien Minh, will be representing the BPKD Kutai Kartanegara Club, East Kalimantan. This player, born on 12 February 1983, had at the XV Asian Games in Doha shown amazing performance. The Ho Chi Minh City bred player was able to defeat Lee Hyun-Il (Korea) and Boonsak Ponsana (Thailand) in the team competition. “Both players will definitely feature in Surabaya. Meanwhile, other clubs are still enticing other world class players to participate in the Badminton Superleague.” Ario added. CBN Withdraws The Djarum Badminton Superleague with start with the qualification phase at GOR Sudirman, Surabaya, from 3 to 7 April. 10 men’s and 7 women’s teams from provinces across the country step forward to battle for 3 tickets for the Final Round in Jakarta, on 21st June to 1 July. These 3 qualifiers will then do battle with 5 major clubs that had already been given direct entry to the Final Round. These clubs are Tangkas Jakarta, Jayaraya Jakarta, SGS Bandung, Djarum Kudus, and Suryanaga Surabaya. The league format uses the same system as per the Thomas and Uber Cups respectively. “Actually the CBN Batam Club initially wanted to participate, however due to a 2 foreign player maximum rule, they chose to withdraw. The CBN men’s and women’s teams withdrew due to lack of players.” Ario explained. The Ratih Banten Club also did not want to be left behind. They brought in two Japanese players. These players agreed to participate after negotiations made by Reony Mainay, who once had a coaching stint there. Meanwhile, the Mutiara Bandung Club is calling for the services of Atu Rosalina. The ex-Cipayung national trainee, who has since resigned, then continued her badminton career as a player with a Danish club. Teams Selected Men’s Section 1. Indocafe Medan 2. Ratih Banten 3.
