Pangilinan bilang chairman at Rep. Albee Benitez bilang sec-gen.

Si Carlos ang defen-ding champion sa women’s Open singles.

Mahigit sa 500 players at 864 entries ang magla­laban-laban sa anim na araw na event na suportado rin ng Philippine Olympic Committee, Philippine Sports Commission, PBA at official equipment sponsor Victor, eksklusibong ipi­namamahagi sa bansa ng PCOME Industrial Sales, Inc.

Ang unang tatlong araw ay  idaraos sa Power­smash habang ang quarterfinals, semifinals at finals ay lalaruin sa Robinsons Place sa Oct. 29-31, ayon kay PBaRS tournament director Nelson Asuncion.

Ang iba pang sumu­suporta sa naturang event ay ang Gatorade, Vineza, Sincere Construction at Krav Maga Philippines at ang mga media partners ay ang  TV 5, The Philippine Star at Badminton Extreme Philippines Magazine.
