My question still stands, anyway. The reason why i'm asking is because with Alex and Dana i assumed Dana would be higher ranked since she earned more points through the last tournament, but Allan didn't do it like that...


Yeah that's right. Whoever earned more actual points.

I went further back to the points distribution of the Sydney tournament.

Can one of the organisers just confirm for me what happens if two or more people are tied at the end of the week
If points are equal at the end of the week they are split by the previous tournament's points distribution. If they are still equal after that, like Alex and Dana were this week, it probably should go to how many points they earned during that tournament.

Well, I thought that a bit unfair actually. If I did better last week...

But surely you didn't do better if you also got 0 points? It's always been based on final points allocaction for the week hasn't it?
Another decision for the organisers I guess.

She did do better then you over last weeks tournament, just there happened to be 8 other people who did even better, so you both ended up with zero points at the end of the day. Why should it affect anything that other people did better then both of you last week?

Well because the decision has always been based on who got more end of week points as in the points that go towards the yearly leaderboard, not the points within the tournament if that makes sense. In this case we both got 0 last week. By the way it has always been decided, she didn't do better, she did the same as me - 0 points.

I had no idea that was the way it always was! It should OBVIOUSLY (and i make no apologies for assuming this) be whoever scored the most points over the whole week in the last tournament, regardless of whether or not they made points counting towards the end of year totals or not.

I mean it's not hard to check as final points distribution will always appear on the same or previous page as the final points scored in the last matchday thread....

I see where you're coming from, but as Yamor said, I did do better actually. I predicted more matches right than you.

Anyway, it's just one stupid point.

Yeah I would argue it more but as it's only 1 point and we are both already out of the competition this year because of the 0 last week anyway, I can't really be bothered. The organisers need to decide a ruling on this.

Yes but look how far behind I am because of getting 0 while you all got double points last week? There may be loads to go but I need to start coming in the top 2 in most of them up to and including the next grand slam and also need you and all the others up the top to have consistent poor weeks to come anywhere. Very unlikely to catch up 26 (or 27 when I probably have 1 point from this week taken off and given to Dana) points unles some of you miss some tournaments or start getting 1s and 0s.

Jesus Alex... 'Taken off' 'Given to Dana'... I'm not going to steal a point from you, because I'm a bad loser, I didn't even bring it up in the first place.

And that whole thing about losing either way is just stupid, there's a whole season ahead of you.

yeah, in particular 3 Grand slams worth 20 points each! You can catch up no problem. There are plenty people playing in order for those as the top not to score points. Look at me and Josh, scored 0 the last tournament! There's no way you can predict a winner now!

Perhaps. It's a big gap to catch up though.
Sorry Dana I really didn't mean that in any bad way. lol
I didn't mean to say you were going to steal it, I just meant it will probably be given to you once (or if) the organisers decide on a proper ruling for the situation that happened (because that's where it will go if/when I lose it). No offence or anything meant. Smile
