Great video. Too bad Chair didn't play, though 😆

Have you heard how much it costs? Iba didn't say and I couldn't count the bills.

I was shocked when Iba said you have to pay a daily participation fee. I thought it was a one-off fee. Sure, you get more prize money the further you get, but it's a joke on anything below the Star Contender tier and the WTT hotels look expensive too. He also said the budget he used to have for...

Champions League semi-finals and finals happened right after Incheon and a lot of the participating players were in Incheon. Obviously the teams complained because the finals date was slated for a while, but WTT didn't budge. WTT sure seems like a tyrant.

Actually for Incheon most full matches were uploaded before highlights.

Pretty sure for a while now they have been using AI to edit the highlights. Would explain why they skip so many points and the hand shaking. Would be nice to know from ttlondon2012 if he still cuts videos for them.

Update: good news, I don't need surgery.

He did say he had burnout and no fun playing, but he bounced back.

I miss like half the matches anyway because of the time zone difference, but WTT has been unusually slow with the highlights.

Have no highlights been posted yet? I don't have time to watch full matches.

Thanks. If my suspicion is right it's just something minor, but post surgery treatment would be a big hassle.

@latej would bring some without you even asking 😃

There hasn't been much feedback and I do need clear time frames to figure out a date that works. I will be away from July 18-22 and there are the aforementioned tournaments happening throughout spring/summer. Also might have to get surgery so I'm not sure I could host/participate myself. Will...

So many big events in China/Asia.

This has been bothering me for a while now. It certainly wasn't the first WTT event with this happening. It's absolutely not easy to become an umpire of this level, yet easy to notice stuff like this is getting past them.

Both can.

We need the quality of badminton's umpires. They are on the players' ass all the time.

I spoke too soon as the second game wasn't so one-sided and very close.

SYS destroying Miwa right now.

I took the written umpire exam today. I'm gonna tell the examiners to include this as a question next time.
