I think you have to understand the Thia's culture.....it is easy for you to decide but for King's 80th birthday is very very big deal.....My friend's parent, actually his mother used to be " lady in waiting" is due to go back to Thailand this week to celebrate King's birthday....

Also Thai players have a batter chances to grab medals than WC....

I don't dispute you.

But that does not mean BWF should change the schedule to accomodate that. It's absurd for the Thai BA guy to feel so incredulous.

It's basically a situation that cannot be resolved:
1. Thais respect their King.
2. You cannot expect the schedule for the World U Games to change because what makes badminton more important than other sports? (the Games is a multi-sport event).
3. You also cannot expect BWF to change its premier event schedule to accomodate a university-level event.

No one should grumble about unfair treatment.

World University Games? Come on, give me a break... (so, call me arrogant) Who would have thought that professional badminton players are eligible for these kind of games? It's a total whitewash when you allow professionals in.

I understand the respect given to the King, but Thais must also understand that for BWF to capitulate the World Championships to the World University Games would be capitulating too much.

It gives me great pleasure to call you 'arrogant' because this is a rare opportunity to do so since none of your posts have ever been near that. Agree with you it's weird to allow professionals to play in amateur games but I suppose the rules must be quite loose there.
Don't think BAT is asking BWF to capitulate but more to compromise by 1 week or so and BWF have 1 month of space to play around with plus it's not like BWF was notified only last month; the request was put in with more than a year's notice.
How do you explain BWF changing its tournament schedules around for the Commonwealth Games last year?
How do you explain BWF allowing CHN to change its WD entries (although I'm happy with that rule breaking) at the last minute?
How do you explain BWF...I could have gone on but ran out of data.....

1. The Commonwealth Games is a senior-level Games involving some pretty strong badminton nations. And it's not the World Championships they are re-scheduling.

2. It's in the written regulations.

3. I can't explain.

Loyalty to the King, lucrative prize money and timing are the three main reasons why THA team skipped the WC, as simple as that.

I think you are being very unfair. We don't know much about why they pulled out other than from these reports posted here. I believe these players would rather have participated in the WC.

I remember Boonsak saying that he was aiming for WC glory when he won the Singapore Open in June, so i don't think they could have 'planned' this withdrawal. IMO, there's lots of internal politics involved. If the association wants them to withdraw, what can they do?
