Jess, don't try to fish those votes with personal favours

I don't like Christmas

[ExcaliburII]

I ve voted for set ratios because I think PTS is all based on luck

You win!!

Also let me just mention as an addendum to my compromise plan, that mostly when people are comparing TBs on here they go "Ah I have Tipsarevic in 3" "Oh, I have him in 2" before they even get to how many points they have.. so it might be useful in our game to give that more weight than points

How about THIS ladies and gents,

We come up with our OWN TT scoring system for scores rather than copying PTS.

In the TT scoring system instead of 5 points for correct sets you get 10, just as many as you get for selecting the right winner. That's the only change. This way, set ratio becomes MORE important than the points, but the points are still included. Since I'm probably going to lose this set ratio fight can I at least get people on THIS bandwagon?

I still disagree with using PTS tiebreaks for many many reasons. Mainly because let's say you're 7/8 for the day and so is your opponent, however, stupid you, your one pick wrong is the TB game. Basically you're screwed for the TB and end up getting double penalized for that wrong pick while your opponent who also had one wrong gets lucky because it wasn't the TB match.

But I put forth this compromise on the PTS scoring just so people here don't think I'm a crazy evil beast for wanting a fair game People seem to like PTS (but why don't more of you play it? )

TB is the most important game of a tennis match, and so is the TB match in TT

It's not that I like PTS or not, I just want 50-50 matches in all rounds. It's not a bad suggestion. But I'd give more points for correct order of sets, not for correct number of sets.

It's very likely to happen with Set ratios too.

But I like your suggestion of modifying the PTS point system to give more value to the correct # of sets and less value to correct set scores. It's a great idea!

Do my eyes deceive me or do we actually agree on something for the first time in TT history?

[SloKid]

My vote puts set ratios in the lead.

But I would just like to point out one thing.

Set ratios are not a TB method on wtaw, they are always used, unless there's a bigger amount of matches on one day.
We still have a tb, where players predict the score, but we don't use the PTS method to score them, we check, which player had the correct set ratio in the tb first, then who got closer to the actual score. On wtaw it can't happen that a person, who got a wrong set ratio for the tb wins on tb over someone with a correct set ratio, like it can happen here with the scoring.

I like your plan

maybe we should test one tournament with set-ratios and with your system

but I love set-ratios

and with TB's
It was a match that Gasquet won 6-2 7-5

I predicted 6-4 7-6 and my opponent 3-6 7-5 6-2

and of course I lost [Toronto SF]

Yeah, I think that is wrong and that couldn't happen on wtaw.

Yeah I kind of changed set ratios a bit... to make it a TB method because I didn't think there was any way to sell it to this crowd as just part of the game to get rid of the importance of the points. You guys never have 5 tbs in a round that I've seen though either and from what I've seen it goes to TBs less often than here (but that could also just be because of how the women's game is compared to here..)
