JAKARTA (Reuters) - Badminton chiefs will consider a new format for the Thomas and Uber Cups after South Korea shamelessly threw two group matches in order to secure an easier passage later in the men's tournament.

SOUTH Korea made a total mockery of the Badminton World Federation's (BWF) competition format for the Thomas Cup Finals by openly declaring that their best path to the final is by losing all their group matches.

I'll be there next month in Seoul, Gangnam area. I'm pretty deadly with a badmitton racquet. I'll make sure I bring it.

Badmitton, obviously isn't my first sport, however, I can play any racquet sport very well.

Badmantong is very popular in Korea so there are numerous courts. Most parks have them. You might think you're pretty good, but the Koreans will put you in your place. Wink

I get to call it Badmantong because I've defeated several players over the years and have earned the right.

Nah, I've worked too hard to earn my right to call it Badmantong over the years. I've decided to quit while ahead. Now I only play uncoordinated ladies and if it gets too close with them the I just fake heat stroke.

However, there are primo covered courts in Hongdea/Sinchon where you can play rain/shine/wind/snow...well, I'm not too sure about that last one. If you want details on that I can let you know. It's sort of a secret, but you two sound worthy. Other than that, I've never had a problem finding normal outdoor courts in any park.
