End of the Round Robin
After the end of the round robin, Australia had fared fairly well.
In the Open (Men) category, Australia just missed out on a top 4 placing.
The qualifying positions were
1st China who won the corresponding event last year
2nd India B I hope this does not cause friction with India A but India have a lot of talented players
3rd China Hong Kong who have had a relatively stable team for several years and are always competitive
4th China Training obviously the training is going well (huge depth in China now as well)
In the Women's category, Australia did very well
The qualifying positions were
1st China Taipei who beat Australia in the last match to pinch top spot just
2nd Australia who were consistently well placed throughout
3rd China who are the perennial favourites but had to settle behind two others in qualifying
4th India B who beat Pakistan in the last round to qualify which would have pleased the locals
In the Mixed teams category, Australia did really well
The qualifying positions were
1st Australia who won a close final match to pinch first spot from India A
2nd India A
3rd China Taipei A
4th Thailand
In the Seniors category, Australia finished a little disappointing 6th
The qualifying positions were
1st China who won the corresponding event last year
2nd India B again out pointing an India A team
3rd China Taipei A again a consistent performer
4th China Hong Kong another consistent performer
