Host city selection

Badminton World Federation initially intended to split the Thomas and Uber Cup finals as separate tournaments. Malaysia was the only bidder for Thomas Cup finals, while China and South Korea were interested to host the Uber Cup finals.[1] The plan to split the tournaments was eventually abandoned and Malaysia was asked to hold the Uber Cup final together.[2]

gollark: What?

gollark: A lot of the time explanations are basically just rationalised after the fact to justify something you're already doing.

gollark: The purpose written down somewhere doesn't really matter if people with different preferences try and shape it in their way, or if it doesn't actually work well at satisfying that purpose.

gollark: There are those who'd say it should be to punish criminals, or who say it's just the state enforcing its power.

gollark: Also, I don't think people agree on that being the point.
