..okay, i know the M'sia Open SS is still going on and since i'm bored to death cos there are no new pics and reviews/reports of the M'sia Open to see and read, and since the T&UC Qualifiying Rds will commence in a few weeks, let's discuss or make our predictions on which countries will advance to the Final Rd. 12 teams will be representing.
- China is automatically in because they are the defending champs.
- M'sia is automatically in because they are the host.
Now, how about the rest? Here are my prognostications for the Thomas Cup qualifiers:
Asia (3) - INA, KOR & JPN
Europe (3) - DEN, ENG, GER
Oceania (1) - New Zealand
Africa (1) - South Africa?
PanAm (1) - It'll be either USA or CAN
1 lucky spot from either EUR or ASIA region (Higher ranked team between the next highest ranked teams from Asia and Europe based on the Ranking method as stated in Regulation 3.4.5) - THA, long shot HK
Here are my prognostications for the Uber Cup qualifiers:
Asia - JPN, KOR & INA
Europe - DEN, NED, GER
Oceania - New Zealand
Africa - South Africa?
PanAm - It'll be either USA or CAN
1 lucky spot from either EUR or ASIA region (Higher ranked team between the next highest ranked teams from Asia and Europe based on the Ranking method as stated in Regulation 3.4.5) - HK, long shot India

*3.4.5
Seeding:
3.4.5.1 The participating teams will be seeded based on the overall strength of the team.
3.4.5.2 The overall strength of the team will be determined based on the World Ranking list as stated in the date lines in Annexure I.
3.4.5.3 Total ranking points of highest ranked three singles players and two doubles pairs from each country shall be compared to determine the overall strength of the team. Where no world ranking is available the ranking points will be taken as zero.
3.4.5.4 On such determination, all the teams will be ranked in their order of strength.
..agree or disagree? let's hear 'em..
