RI asked to reduce Asian meet entries

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP): The Asian Badminton Confederation (ABC) has asked Indonesia to reduce the number of Indonesian players participating in its championships to be held next month in Malaysia.

Executive secretary Karen Koh said Tuesday that the ABC had faxed the Indonesian Badminton Association Monday and asked Indonesia to cut down on the list of 40 players submitted for the Sept. 3 to Sept. 7 championship.

Tournament rules allow each member country only six players each for the men's and women's singles, three pairs each in the men's and women's doubles and six pairs for the mixed doubles - a total of 30.
