The correct formula is 1 and 4. One for MCF and 4 for all the other players. And even then there is a caveat. The Presidents choice must only be used in very special circumstances and for the right reasons.
In the past Associations have wielded executive privilege under the following conditions. If a very strong player was unavailable for good reasons like if he/she was overseas representing the Country at the time of selection for instance.
I think there is a good reason for the President to exercise his choice in the case of this year's Olympiad. The players who fought at the selection for the Olympiad at NC2012 is not experienced enough. So they will need guidance at the event. And I think Yee Weng is the person who can give that guidance. But that is only my opinion. The point is that the considerations must be one for the good of the entire team and not arbitrary or political.
But the only other ones who should go are those that fought at the selection. They have honestly earned their place.
We hear speeches and we see on the blogs people who talk about no parachuting in; about principles. Now is the time for them to show us the action that follow those words.
So players, do not accept the place if you are not the one President's choice. You will be taking the place of a fellow player who have earned his place. Don't let them divide and rule you. The correct way is to go down the line of winners at NC2012 for 4 places and one for the Presidents choice.
Note: Rating is not a true indicator in Malaysia. Go back and look at all the results in recent tournaments. Go back and read all the predictions by our "technical experts". They have been wrong over and over again. They are spinning stories because they know how to manufacture numbers and have the PR to promote those that they want. The best way to find our fighters are from those that have fought. Not the backdoor artists. If you cannot be bothered to fight here, you will not be a fighter there.
