Time to vote on the format the contest should be using.

As the contest will start on the Tuesday morning Australian time after Bercy on November 6 and will continue until we have a winner.

Starting times will be staggered and if the best of 5 set rule wins, then any match not completed in 12 hours will be allowed 2nd votes.

The list from the seeding committee is in ranking order for the first 64 players highlighted.

REVOLUTION
vote #1

the best options, everyone gets to vote, a group of losers cannot end the match 20seconds after it starts.

[Fee]

Thank you for re-doing this. That was very fair of you.

[adee-gee]

Stick with original 1 vote = 1 game, I like the tennis scoring format.

[HarryMan]

The First option seems to be the most reasonable one ,since most people could get an opportunity to cast their votes and the time difference shouldn't cost some valuable talents their worthy dues and most MTF members could get a say in this

And also We could have some tight and long matches and not some one sided affairs where 18 votes and half an hour are enough to get a winner

[Horatio Caine]

first option mate...it is the most accurate and it gives everyone a chance to vote.

[Merton]

I like the simplicity of the 1 vote = 1 game format but I understand those concerned that matches would be over before one gets a chance to vote. Some matches will be very one-sided regardless of the format.

me too, I like the idea of having it look like a tennis tournament as much as possible.

than injury timeouts, pulled outs and tanks should be allowed.

[Naranoc]

I voted for the 1 vote = 1 game option. The only real merit to 12 hour system is having an accurate, representative result, but even that doesn't seem necessary for most matches, seeing as scores are often one-sided. I don't see how using a tennis scoring format entails that we're changing the whole system to be like a tennis match. A tally count, although easier, will make things far more dull, in that there won't be any amusing commentaries generated from it, etc.

They are. It's the tennis-equivalents to 'temporary ban', 'permanent ban' and 'getting back one's senses'.

Precisely.

If a match is so one-sided to the point that the poster gets 18 consecutive votes, then it's safe to say that the format won't make any difference.

The tournament will be very boring if the #1 format gets chosen. Instead of thrilling five-setters, we'll get handball-like scores.

Yes, what she said.

[scarecrows]

after reading the last 2 posts i'm having doubts again

i think we should have discussed the formats, showing the advantages and disadvantages of each before voting

[Byrd]

I like to change my vote to option 2, I see the flaws option 1 does offer up now after reviewing it.
