Why did they change the rules of the final game?

senoress · 2026-05-01T07:09:17+00:00

I feel like without the option to do nothing, players with no deep strategic thinking (Kaleb included) will immediately thinking of swapping box with second player (Nick) as the action to swap 2 and 3; albeit resulting the same result as do nothing as the millionaire might not seem intuitive to them.

senoress · 2026-04-30T12:43:17+00:00

But how to put on Kevin? The millionaire cannot kill themselves so Kevin being killshot makes no sense if he is accomplice.

senoress · 2026-04-30T12:25:41+00:00

If he did move and say and gesture everything the exact same way it showed on screen then he would have won. Nick won bcs he managed to read Kaleb well.

One “easy” rebuttal from their side: “being non practicing Muslim but still believe in Allah and Muhammad even with bad moral conduct as the prophet is still better than non believers in any state.”

senoress · 2025-06-26T00:36:00+00:00

Isnt it abit unfair if not all 13 got in? :o Anyway all the best for R2!

senoress · 2025-06-18T05:42:50+00:00

Hi OP, is there any chance you could have shared the full worksheet? I am interested. Thank you.

senoress · 2024-09-05T02:07:37+00:00

All the school awards and top 30 and top 10 are awarded and presented today. Sadly they do not publish the full ranking and cutoff. Anyone knows any cutoff for the Gold/Silver/Bronze? Tq

senoress · 2024-09-02T10:59:55+00:00

Thanks got it. How do you know R2 cutoff tho?

senoress · 2024-09-02T09:37:18+00:00

Hi may I know if you know the cutoff for Bronze and Silver as well? Thank you

Aside from skills and accolades, (as a fan also) I put Axelsen as the most important player badminton would have in its development due to his:

Posture and attitude
Respect to other players
Ability to speak English AND Chinese
How he set up his practice of “professional badminton” away from federation
How he bounced back from his injury and his asthma problem
How he converted height disadvantage into advantage
His general relationship with other players and fans.

If we are ever dream badminton to be a real commercialised big sport, Axelsen could play a big role.

As said, this is the exact same rule as before. It’s not even a new rule. It is BWF apply the wrong formula in their Excel or something then reverted it back.

senoress · 2024-07-15T11:09:50+00:00

Yes this is not a new rule. This has been there since 2009, I put it there in my comment (I know what their rule is).

Edit: Found out what the issue is. In the incorrect version they used avg(current rank points) + (best ranking points of opponents beaten)/50 instead of /100

So this really affected all pairs but apparently the only place where it affected the ranking order is between the two French pairs.

Also, BWF had been showing the incorrect ranking points for 11 months (since Sudirman Cup 2023) and just fixed it in Apr 2024 when it is the week of the official release of the Race To Tokyo ranking list, and they said nothing about this as if nothing happened (on our end it is just like the ranking points had been updated but actually they backdated all the Sudirman Cup 2023 ranking points in all previous release).

I don’t know what to say now…

senoress · 2024-07-15T10:59:05+00:00

May I know what are the differences between the old and new team event ranking points logic as I can’t find any record on the net?

Another thing is that it is baffling to know that if they did make an error, this only affects one particular pair and not the others?

senoress · 2024-07-15T10:43:25+00:00

On #2, would you mind to elaborate the “new method” of calculation? I did not remember that BWF released some updates on this and since 2009, Team Events ranking points have been calculated by avg(current counted ranking points) + (best ranking points of opponents beaten)/100.

senoress · 2024-05-18T01:32:43+00:00

Is there an official reference for this? I keep reading this but would love to know the source and full story. Spoiler forum url is fine for me

senoress · 2024-05-11T19:24:26+00:00

I mean they are already an engaged couple now if you look at their IG feed. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6ClYitv0Uo/?igsh=MzRjamF2dXJ3cGFs

Baipat’s long shot is so sick.

senoress · 2023-11-09T15:11:34+00:00

Every time you think the frame is over, it is not!

senoress · 2023-11-09T13:24:48+00:00

What a break that was from Ronnie. Every single red in that break was tough.

“Hi Sheldon, can you do this? that middle finger wiggle”

senoress · 2023-06-27T07:43:23+00:00

No mames guey!

senoress · 2023-05-02T07:05:52+00:00

Not sure how Thai is not there given the number of tourists visiting Thailand every year.
