With my manager point of you, Question 9 - if you let people send the pick to several person it is a mess.

Re: TT Changes 2013
I was just wondering why my suggestion of having an extra 32 player draw for World Tour Finals week is not there?
If you are going to change the main draw points system to the ATP and are discussing the qualy system too, it should be how the ATP does qualy points as well. I don't see why playing your doubles partner in singles should even be a suggestion, ATP players do it all the time in real life, they can/do manage, I see this as even less of an issue in cyberspace. |

Yes 2) Should players who lose in a Grand Slam qualifying be allowed to play a challenger in the following week? Yes, no changes 3) GS/IW/Miami week 2 events: GS R16 - out of qualifying; GS QF - out of MD 4) Late entries & SE's: Players who commit as late entries shouldn't be eligible to receive a SE 5) Doubles commitments: It should be enough if only a player commits the doubles team 6) Singles commitments by another person? Yes, only by doubles partners. DRAWS 7) Late entries & seedings Late entries shouldn't be seeded 8) Should there be a restriction to avoid singles R1 matches between doubles partners? No SENDING PICKS 9) Should picks which were sent to the person who posted the OOP be accepted? No 10) Should picks sent by e-mail be accepted? Yes, if an acceptable reason exists 11) Should there be a punishment for players who don't send picks? Never OOP 12) Standard minimum of TT matches in first rounds 5 13) Standardizing the OOP: No - Manager's choice TB System 14) TB method: The number of sets given to the winner when the player picks the loser (2-1, 3-2 & 3-1 losing picks) should be a tie-breaker before the SR shootout. No 15) SR Shootout: Picking the correct winner or SR of a lower SR should have priority over giving a set to the winner when both players pick the loser in a higher SR? No 16) PTS: MY ONLY SUGGESTION In PTS tiebreak system: There should be a new points distribution. I manage a game in a small forum where the aim is to have the closest prediction on a match. Distribution system is: Hitting the winner: 25 pts Hitting the number of sets played (you can only get points here if you get the winner): 50 pts Guessing a scoreline on a wrong set (example, you pick player A to win 62 61 and he wins 76 62, you have 6-2 but in a different order): 75 pts each Guessing a scoreline on the correct set (example, you pick player A to win 63 64 and he hines 63 76, you have 6-3 on the correct position): 125 pts each RANKING POINTS 17) Qualifying points: There should be points for qualifying wins. No 18) There should be a Team Race for the World Tour Finals. Yes OTHERS 19) Retirements should count for SR and shootout purposes No 20) Challenger choices Continent diversity and lists quality 21) Possible exception: Accepting picks 1/2/3/4/5 minutes after the deadline?

Re: TT Changes 2013
COMMITMENTS
1) Should players be allowed to play in two places at the same time (the final of a week X event AND the qualifying of a week x+1 event)? Yes 2) Should players who lose in a Grand Slam qualifying be allowed to play a challenger in the following week? Yes, but I think that players shouldn't be allowed to play any other tournament in the same week as GS qualies. 3) GS/IW/Miami week 2 events Anything but the current system, it's unfair (and difficult for the managers). I'd say that players who are still in GS by Saturday (or Sunday since these challengers usually start on Sundays) should be out of the 2nd week challengers (Q&MD). 4) Late entries & SE's No restrictions. I see those SE spots as a kind of WC and since the number of SE spots is limited I don't have any problem with them. However, SE spots can be given according to the commitment time (not SE request time, and not ranking as it is now). 5) Doubles commitments Commitment by one player should be enough. 6) Singles commitments by another person? No (just because it would be easier for the managers). DRAWS 7) Late entries & seedings Don't care. 8) Should there be a restriction to avoid singles R1 matches between doubles partners? No. SENDING PICKS 9) Should picks which were sent to the person who posted the OOP be accepted? I'd say that picks may be accepted if the person who posted OOP forwards the picks to the manager before the deadline. But if you sent picks to the wrong person you can't demand to accept them. 10) Should picks sent by e-mail be accepted? Yes. 11) Should there be a punishment for players who don't send picks? No. OOP 12) Standard minimum of TT matches in first rounds (4, 5, 6, 7, no restrictions?) Managers choise. Sometimes it happens that some cheep challenger doesn't have qualies, while TT tournament has, it that case it might be difficult to have a certain amount of matches in the first round. 13) Standardizing the OOP No, managers choise. TB System 14) TB method: The number of sets given to the winner when the player picks the loser (2-1, 3-2 & 3-1 losing picks) should be a tie-breaker before the SR shootout. No. 15) SR Shootout: Picking the correct winner or SR of a lower SR should have priority over giving a set to the winner when both players pick the loser in a higher SR? No. 16) PTS I think we need a rule that perfect scoreline always wins. RANKING POINTS 17) Qualifying points: There should be points for qualifying wins. Yes, at least at the event where ATP has them. 18) There should be a Team Race for the World Tour Finals. No, but I don't really care. OTHERS 19) Retirements should count for SR and shootout purposes (64 40 ret -> 64 60 win; 46 23 ret -> 46 63 60 win)? No. I'd see it acceptable only if the retirement happend in the last set of the match (in the set which would have been the last if the retired player would have lost it). 20) Challenger choices: ranking points/entry list quality or diversity of continents/timezones? Availablity of managers :) Playing tournaments where manager can't post smth on time because he is sleeping is more anoying than playing tournament with unknown players. 21) Possible exception: Accepting picks 1/2/3/4/5 minutes after the deadline? Players can't make such demands. |
Re: TT Changes 2013
I would like - no LOVE - for anyone voting NO on #15 to give me a coherent and rational explanation for keeping the current flawed system.
