Seeing how fast our badminton competition grows with more and more comps being set up (which is nice!), just to make sure we don't miss any 1000s and 750s in the process (as we seem to have missed one from each category already)

Remaining this year are:
Super 1000:China Open
Super 750: Japan Open, Denmark Open, French Open, China Masters

Categories 500 and lower are interesting too, of course, as we get acquainted with players further down the ranking who are too weak to qualify for top tournaments. But still 1000s and 750s are essential.

Canada Open is a 500 by the way.

Anyone looking for a Badminton H2H tool to help with predictions, here's a nice one I regularly use:

The main reason for the new Badminton and Squash prediction games is that I programmed a script for each sport and now can utilize data from the official websites. As a result there is less manual work for these kind of prediction games.

We have this iconic comedy series from early 80s ('Alternatives 4'). One of the characters is this young engineer, Mr.Manc, who secretly constructs a humanoid robot that would replace real humans in queues for bread, milk, meat (which was a real problem in the 80s...) etc.

In one of the scenes he is watching his humanoid cleaning the apartment and says to his neighbour: 'I created an almost perfect program. And did you know that if it was possible to create an undefinitely wide program, the robot would not even be necessary anymore, because the program itself would become a robot?'.

Just loosely reminded me of the badminton scene and you Klaus as the Great Engineer on here as I am a big fan of this movie and know all the dialogues by heart :)

And is setting a start time of games manual or automatic operation?

Jun 21 02:30 Kanta Tsuneyama - Sankar Subramanian

But at first start time was 3:00 on the site.
And when I was about putting a prediction (about at 2:40) it turned out to be closed. :(
But in fact the game was scheduled for 3:00 (started at 3:05).
