Johor to stage series final
THE Super Series Masters Finals will be played in Johor Baru after Malaysian organizers switched the December 2-6 event from Kuala Terengganu.
The southern city was picked after organizers took into account its experience in hosting major badminton events.
"Due to the short time, we felt that Johor Baru will be in a better position to host the event," Badminton Association of Malaysia general manager Kenny Goh told The Star newspaper.
"They have an experienced team. It is also close to Singapore and Indonesia and it will attract the big names from these countries."
The Masters Finals will feature the top eight players in every event based on the Super Series rankings after 12 legs - 10 legs have been completed with the on-going Hong Kong Open and China Open being the last two stops.
