		<description>The problem is that the format and order have already been agreed upon by all the 11 teams well before the tournament started.

And in this tournament, it&#039;s played by categories, so you can&#039;t simply put your best players to play first. For example, the first match is always the &quot;grade 41 and above officers category,&quot; but our best players are not eligible to play in this category - they&#039;re scheduled to play 4th.

Even if your best players do get to play first, there&#039;s no guarantee that they&#039;ll win, especially when both sets of players are at an intermediate level of skill or higher. So what happens if they lose? I think it&#039;s better to emphasise on the &quot;never say die&quot; spirit, like Liverpool 2005 :-)</description>

		<description>next time... give chance the ladies doubles to play first - because if in a team event of ypu are down and already lost 0-3, there is no need to play anymore for the remaining sets...

another very very efficient techniques to win in a team event - 1st match - always put your best team to play first - if they win - then your team spirit will be lifted up!!! and you will play better when your turn finally arrive..

it is like Thomas cup - 1992 where Malaysia won the Cup - 1st match - mimang manang.. so ada semangat sudahhh..

but if first 3 matches sudah kalah 0-3... mana ada semangat lagi bossss!!

like in Football - penalty shoot out say between Spain and Italy - first kick of course you will ask the finest goalscorer like David Villa and Torres... you can never never ask Carles Puyol - a defender to take the 1st kick.. nanti miss.. habis lahhh bossss</description>
