KUWAIT CITY, Nov 28: Worley Parsons Resources & Energy continued to show their class to top the standings in the 22nd Filipino Badminton Association in Ahmadi (FBAA) 6th Hankook Tires Cup “ 3Weeks Open Doubles Tournament” in Fahaheel Friday. The Worley Parsons Resources & Energy players were really in great form in all the categories as they had compiled 78 matches and 226 points to finish the second week of the tournament on top while Wataniya Telecom were second with 65 wins and 207 points; Hankook Tires third with 57 wins and 162 points; Bhasin Co. fourth with 56 wins and 170 points; and at the bottom were Western Union Money Transfer with 55 wins and 168 points. The match wins are the first consideration for the positions and in case of a tie the points are to be considered because a team could win fewer matches and yet have more points — as a match win in two sets brings three points with none for the loser while a game which goes to three sets brings two points for the winner and one for the loser.
