I think we should respect the 2008 national competition result as well as....the top 4 ranked players in that competition. This year national open had produced the best 4 players in Singapore and they should represent Singapore based on that result. To ask players to step down and make way for supposedly better player is selfish and shown disregard for the national open result. And it is not guaranteed that the other so called "better players" can do better that the current 4. I understand that the current batch of national players had been trying their best to prepare for the upcoming competition. I believe we should give them the chance to represent Singapore and not try to apply pressure on them to quit. Afterall, base on this year National Open result, they are the best 4 players that we have this year.
