I know, I should marry Wang Yihan and Wang Lin right away and immediately make them INA citizens... [...just kidding] The building blocks for everlasting INA badminton glory development are being developed brick-by-brick now... The pace of change is as slow as the Bengawan Solo song... Too bad I won't run for the PBSI chairmanship until the year 2037...

Apparently... whoever was in charge of the seeding did not read the current PBSI rulebook [released in 2007]... This seeding is based on the BWF ranking and the PBSI rulebook clearly stated that they should use the PBSI ranking [which already integrated the BWF ranking accumulation]... I am dissapointed by the level of ignorance within the tournament coordinating body itself. They should be ashamed of themselves!

I heard... Cisita's club used a round-robin selection process in order to make sure the 4 GS that represented their club [and automatically Central Java province] are really the four best. Cisita did not make it this year. As for Jenna, she is injured for a while now... It was reported that she could not go to the Bali National Circuit last month due to her injury... I think it is the injury she got while playing Cisita in the East Java Circuit SF... [maybe]...

Candra does not need to, this tournament is optional for him... Besides, his partner -Tony Gunawan- is not around...
Most of the participants are flying to Solo today. Some early round games start tomorrow... Go INA badminton!
