Congrats badders7 on the AE win. You held all the cards going into the final and it was going to be tough to overcome the deficit. Both Demolidor and I did try to re-manouevre as the day went along but it turned to be a hill too high to climb.
Next year, I can't claim to be defending champion or defending 2nd runner-up or defending whatever, anymore.
Sigh, 21st, a not so good performance again. Let's go to Swiss then. Thanks to Sandy for the tournament.

number 46. hhehheeheh, well at least i am not second last anymore. looking forward to the next PAW. oh no, i might be addicted already. thanks sandy for a job well done.
37th place, huh? Not bad, considering I was running a high risk PAW-ing strategy. Congrats the our new All-England champion, badders7, and our defending champion madbad, who got derailed by a bad first day. Still coming back to 3rd is pretty good effort.
.#. Player................P....W....L....Pts .51.samuel882............28...11...17...127 .56.Loh..................28...10...18...110 At Least I get a consolation prize on beating Uncle Loh
Wow, not bad at all, I still managed to squeeze into 7th position. Thanks to 4 out of 4 picks on SF and F. Congratulations to badders7, bradja23 and madbad. Sandy, thanks for your effort again.
congrats to winner and the podium finishers. with such a strange AE, it's amazing to see these guys still managing to predict so many matches correctly!
I noticed.. ..taufik-ist finishing in the top 10, just short 30 pts from the overall winner, after missing the earlier rounds (up til the Semis)..Oh, yes, congrats to badders7, too
Not bad at all.....finished at 6th........my best spot....all time in PAW......try harder in coming Swiss Open...hehehehe
Haha, I just beat those (except djake) who out-performed me in German Open. It really how competitive the game is. Looking forward to Swiss Open.
Today, predict badminton's results is being harder. Another dramatic tournament in PAW, the favourite player who will win PAW changed in every day. Day-1, the newcomer Depan had very good start on 9-0 win/loss but dropped in day-2. djake had best chance after Day-2 but failed in Day-3 and madbad took best chance after strike winning picks in Quarter Final. PAW's curse was happened again to madbad in Semi Final and badders7 took the best chance. And Finally badders7 reach the top by 2 right PAWs in Final, followed by bradja23 in 2nd and defending champion madbad in 3rd position. Identical result between PAW & Badminton results : luyi80 = Lee Hyun Il, won in Korea Open & German Open 2008, down in All England 2008. madbad = Lin Dan, won in All England 2007, couldn't defend the title but still stand at podium. Congratulations to the winners Thank's for all PAW participant, see you again in next tournament, Swiss Open SS PAW Ranking Open has been updated in, http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51375
Hahaha...luyi80 = lhi...I like this, Sandy! Hope lhi can do better in SO, my fate depend on him! And madbad, r u did as LD, didn't go all out during final??! Anyway, congratulation to all winners! C u all again in SO08!
