ngawur lagi ini orang..
AG is for Asian..bro
you must ask LYB why he didn't field up Chen hong or chen jin,
becos AG/Olympic only permit 2 player/country
and LYB picked Lindan Bao Chun lai
if you play in AG/olympic, you represent your country officially and if you win, there will be a flag rising ceremony with national antheme song. that's is THE PRESTIGE, a prestige is not money thing, it is about Honour and glory..
that's why I said AG is not prestigious. Like Cooler said, it's just like not all guess are invited.
Every continental championships is not prestigious, therefore there is no continental championship in tennis (# 1 racquet sport in the world).

in AG, there's also a tennis match
if i represent for my country to play in sea games or Asian Games or Olympic or Summer games or Winter games, that will be a prestige and a honour to me

For Indonesia, AG's gold is prestigious, that's why they really appreciate it. It is different for China and Korea, they won so many Olympic's gold medal. Thus, no any monetary rewards for their athletes whom are success in AG.
Just for info, China sends 63% young guns in AG 06, and the Doha AG organizer were dissapointed with China. They ask China to "appreciate" this games, by sends more top athletes to Doha. Finally, China's players can deliver more gold medals compare to Busan AG 02.
China only wants his athletes got more experiences, so they can played better in OG 08. Is it clear for you?
CHINA won 150 gold medals in Busan 02, and 165 gold medals in Doha 06. Imagine, 315 golds in just 2 AG. Compare it to Indonesia, less than 150 golds from the 4th AG in Jakarta (1962) until Doha 06.

I agree with Taufik. WC loses it prestige if it is played every year. Once every two years would be perfect. To me, a better arrangement would be making WC the finals for Super Series. I feel today the schedule for Super Series is too tight. It's better to spread it out further, like two years.
Sorry, it should be ...
China : 938 golds from 8 AG (1974, 1982-2006)
Indonesia : < 60 golds from 12 AG (1962-2006)
It is not fair to say like that. From your point of view, LD is the lucky guy, coz he can won the WC with the "helps" from BWF. Don't forget, if BWF still CONSISTENT with their basic regulation about WC (held it every 3 years), so the victim is not only LD, but also Taufik, ZJH, Joko, Xia, and the others.
Another alternative is
(1) make it year-end final event
(2) only top 8 players/pairs will be qualified (we can call it "Elite 8")
(3) split into 2 groups of 4 (e.g. Group 1: seeds 1 3 5 7; Group 2: seeds 2 4 6 8)
(4) 3 round robins will be played for each player/pair, the top 2 from each group will enter SF.
This is more a format for World Masters tournament than for WC.
My've been fantasizing badminton league games with League A, B and C (3 leagues each for MS, MD, WS, WD and XD) - similar to those soccer leagues in say, England, Spain and Italy. I know it's logistically unrealistic but as a software engineer by training, I used to write a computer program to simulate such leagues with real players and let the computer to determine the winners of the League Cups and something called "BWF Cups".
