heard that Group A [9+1] system is for 30 players, if less than 30, may reduce the number of rounds, ......
Last year, 20 was the minimum number to proceed, hope this year if say even with 16, still can consider to pick 8 seeded players and proceed with below (7+4 system) and to have ranking of all 16 players.
{In fact, for 16 players,instead of cancel the event, can consider 11 rounds, i.e. 7 + 4 system with complete 分组循环赛 (8 players each) and 决赛循环赛 (8 players) but those met in 分组 do not need to play again and just simply carry the results over to 决赛.
