Auction of over 96 Kabaddi players from across 14 countries to be held in Mumbai on 20 May, 2014
Saturday, 17 May 2014, Mumbai: Team Mashal Sports, promoter of the Pro-Kabaddi League is all set to kick start the first ever Pro Kabaddi season beginning with an auction for the World's finest Kabaddi talent on May 20, 2014 in Mumbai. The auction to be hosted by the 'Travelling Gavel' Bob Hayton, who has over 30 years of auctioning experience, will put a pool of 96 professional Kabaddi players from across 14 countries, under the hammer for the 8 franchises that constitute the league - Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune and Vizag. All owners have been mandated to build a team of 12 players from the three categories, A, B and C, that each of the 96 players are categorized into based on their prior records and achievements. To have evenly balanced teams in the league, all owners would have to choose 4 category 'A' players, 6 category 'B' players and 1 category 'C' player. The twelfth and final player will be picked from a 'State Wild Card' pool. The 32 Category 'A' players will be auctioned in 4 lots; 8 raiders, followed by 8 defenders, 8 all-rounders and concludes with a mixed 8. The 48 Category 'B' players will also be auctioned in 4 lots of 12 each and out of the 12 players in Category C, a total of 8 - one per team - will be allotted through a Double Draw system. The state wild card player will be selected by the individual franchisee based on recommendations of the state associations. The owners who include, entrepreneur and social philanthropist Ronnie Screwvala for Mumbai, The Future Group for Kolkata, Insurekot Sports (Kotak Group) for Pune, and Abhishek Bachchan for Jaipur amongst other distinguished and high profile individuals, will have a tough task at hand but are extremely excited at building a winning team through sensible auction strategies. The Pro Kabaddi league is all set to kick off in Mumbai on the 26th of July with each of the 8 venues hosting 4 days of 'home' team action and all teams playing each other twice for a total of 14 league matches. The knock-out finale will be played in Bangalore between 28th and 31st August 2014. In a significant value addition to Kabaddi, these games will be spectacularly produced and telecasted live on prime time TV by international broadcaster, Star Sports. Speaking on the upcoming auction, Managing Director of Mashal Sports, Charu Sharma said, "It's a very important milestone for all of us who have joined hands to make this boldest revolution in Indian sports, a reality. The team owners are very excited of course, but imagine the enthusiasm and anticipation with which the top Kabaddi players from India and many other countries are waiting for the auction drama to unfold. Kabaddi is a tough, raw, physical sport without thus far, any organised remuneration. Pro Kabaddi is setting the ball rolling to make the sport visible, attractive, professional, remunerative and, for a large section of India's athletic youth, aspirational". Source: Article

Michael Schumacher: Is he being woken from coma?
ONE month after his skiing accident in the French alps, a French newspaper has claimed that Michael Schumacher is being brought out of a medically-induced coma. The 45-year-old former Formula 1 champion struck his head on a rock while skiing with his son on 29 December and has remained in a coma ever since. Though the last official communique from his management said the seven-time F1 champion was "stable", there have been fears he will never regain consciousness. However, the Daily Telegraph quotes a story in L'Equipe that claims the German ace is slowly being brough out of the coma by doctors at the University Hospital of Grenoble in France. Schumacher’s spokeswoman asked the public not to pay attention to “speculation” but did not deny the report, the Telegraph says. In its report, L'Equipe says Schumacher has "reacted postively" to doctors' efforts to bring him out of the coma. The paper quotes Professor Jean-Luc Truelle, the former head of the neurology department of the Foch hospital in Suresnes, who says that a month is upper limit of when a patient can be awoken safely from an artificial coma. L'Equipe's story conflicts with a report in today's Rheinische Post newspaper that suggests doctors have delayed efforts to bring Schumacher out of his coma. The paper says the rumoured delay raises new fears about the driver's chances of recovery. It quotes a medical expert who says the longer that he "cannot be resuscitated from the medically induced coma the doubts are more justified than ever that he will not be completely healthy. Probably he will have sustained permanent damage." The paper adds that even if Schumacher does come out of his coma the best case scenario is that "a long neurological rehabilitation awaits him". The BBC offers a similarly gloomy prognosis having sought the advice of two medical experts. Professor Gary Hartstein, F1's chief medic between 2005 and 2012, told the BBC that "it is extremely unlikely, and I'd honestly say virtually impossible, that the Michael we knew prior to this fall will ever be back". Colin Shieff, neurosurgeon at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, said: "It is still possible to regain consciousness, but this is far from certain. At best, there will be handicaps in respect of communication, memory, mobility and independence. At worst, the patient may remain in 'low arousal state' with little awareness of surroundings."

But in the IBL most players got more for just playing in it.” Each team, comprising four foreign players, six Indians and one upcoming Indian junior, played in a double-leg preliminary round, with the top four qualifying for the semi-finals. All ties consisted of five matches — two men’s singles, and one match each in women’s singles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles.

New format will make IBL more open: Delhi smashers: New Delhi: Star shuttlers of Krrish Delhi Smashers today gave a thumbs up to the new scoring system for the USD one million Indian Badminton League (IBL) with their star icon Jwala Gutta saying it will make the game faster and more aggressive.The 29-year-old from Hyderabadi believes the new format in the IBL will make it an exciting tournament, throwing up some interesting results. "The format is different and anybody can win in this format and we have a good team. We played the format today at the practice. The shorter the game, the faster it becomes. It is going to be more aggressive and fast badminton," said the
 Commonwealth Games gold medallist. "Even it is Lee Chong Wei, we can pull it off in this format. Even if one is 7-0, one can turn the tables. The game can change. Of course it can go against us also, so it is going to be tricky," Jwala added. According to the new scoring system, there will be two breaks of 60 seconds at 7 and 14 points respectively in each of the first two games and if the match is pushed to the decider, then there will be a break after the sixth point. Moreover, while the first two games will be a race to the 21 points, without the standard two-point gap, the player who reaches 11 points first in the decider will emerge as winner of the match. Sai Praneeth, who had spoilt legendary shuttler Taufik Hidayat's farewell at the Indonesia Super Series and also stunned then world number four Yun Hu of Hong Kong in the Singapore Super Series, said the two-breaks in the new format can make the competition more open in the IBL. "It will be a level playing field in this format. We can expect to beat higher players. But strategising will be different and difficult. It will take a few games to understand that. In the 21-point decider, even if you are down you can make a comeback but in 11-point third game, you have to keep attacking. You don't have time to think much," said the world number 37 Indian. H S Prannoy, another men's singles player, also felt the new format will act as an advantage for the Indian players and they can hope to beat top players such as Lee Chong Wei. "Players such as Tien Minh Nguyen used to play long matches. It is more rallies. These players don't have much strokes, it is more fitness," he said. "Even with Lee Chong Wei we will have an advantage in this 11-point format. With Lee you can't play the whole match at his pace, but in this format, you can have a better chance by going full out in the 11-point third game," Prannoy said.
