    Bit premature but anybody checked out the remaining tournaments of the year?


    Indonesian Open may be paired up with HK Open.

    There is a gruelling programme in Nov. with China, S'pore, TaiPei Opens.

    M'sian Open should have a good attendance being the only major tournament befroe the Olympics

    Didn't know it was originally scheduled for October. Hasn't it usually been scheduled in early Dec in previous years?

    But 6 star...excellent!!

    Wonder who the sponsors are. :confused:

    I certainly hope that there will be good sponsors. Back in 2000, I scheduled my trip to HK during the HK Open period in early December. Guess what? Less than 1 week after i've bought my plane tickets, they announced the tournament is cancelled because of the lack of sponsors, as big players seem to be recovering from the Syndey Olympics and choose not to go to HK to play.

    At that time, HK Open was still a 1* Tournament. Now that it's once again a 6* Tournament, I hope there will be enough sponsors and big players playing so that it won't get cancelled again.

    Too bad that I won't be watching it once again this year, as I don't plan to be in HK in October
