At the2003 event however, there is a controversy when China decided to pull out from the tournament at the last minute. Head coachLi Yongbo said that the tournament did not award any ranking points for the2004 Summer Olympics event and wanted to give his players more time to rest.^[2] Some of the top players were also willing to pull out from the tournament since the competitiveness of the event was low.
