Sorry george, I'm going to force you to read the thread because the answers are in there. It's not too long so won't take much time.
3 members meeting in the first 2 rounds and the seedings are very questionable imo. The seeding shoulds be done based on average YTD ranking and 16 seeds. For example: 2008 PAW Race Ranking (As of May 26, 2008) -#-.Pre#-.PLAYER---------------- -Pts-- TRN Avg- Seed 001.(001).Sandy............MAD.. 43544. .13 3350 #2 002.(002).luyi80...........WOW.. 42720. .13 3286 #3 003.(003).madbad...........MAD.. 38908. .13 2993 #5 004.(006).Dmitry...........DRM.. 36460. .12 3038 #4 005.(004).stork............DRM.. 35082. .12 2924 #7 006.(005).ycchen...........SCG.. 34042. ..7 4863 #1 007.(008).Dreamzz..........DRM.. 33042. .13 2542 #10 008.(007).apontoh..........BZL.. 32856. .13 2527 #11 009.(009).Loh..............WOW.. 31002. .13 2385 #12 010.(010).badders7.........BZL.. 30517. .11 2774 #8 011.(015).Louisa...........WOW.. 28535. .13 2195 #14 012.(011).kschong............... 28370. .13 2182 #15 013.(012).george@chongwei..CWC.. 27983. .13 2153 014.(013).badMania.........DRM.. 26610. .12 2218 #13 015.(016).demolidor........BZL.. 26343. ..9 2927 #6 016.(014).cooler...........MAD.. 26142. .12 2179 #16 017.(017).robin7...........BZL.. 25479. .10 2548 #9 018.(020).rizayosia........ROF.. 25423. .12 2119 019.(019).huangkwokhau.....DRM.. 25355. .13 1950 020.(018).chuibie............... 24763. .13 1905 The seedings should be as follows: 006.(005).ycchen...........SCG.. 34042. ..7 4863 #1 001.(001).Sandy............MAD.. 43544. .13 3350 #2 002.(002).luyi80...........WOW.. 42720. .13 3286 #3 004.(006).Dmitry...........DRM.. 36460. .12 3038 #4 003.(003).madbad...........MAD.. 38908. .13 2993 #5 015.(016).demolidor........BZL.. 26343. ..9 2927 #6 005.(004).stork............DRM.. 35082. .12 2924 #7 010.(010).badders7.........BZL.. 30517. .11 2774 #8 017.(017).robin7...........BZL.. 25479. .10 2548 #9 007.(008).Dreamzz..........DRM.. 33042. .13 2542 #10 008.(007).apontoh..........BZL.. 32856. .13 2527 #11 009.(009).Loh..............WOW.. 31002. .13 2385 #12 014.(013).badMania.........DRM.. 26610. .12 2218 #13 011.(015).Louisa...........WOW.. 28535. .13 2195 #14 012.(011).kschong............... 28370. .13 2182 #15 016.(014).cooler...........MAD.. 26142. .12 2179 #16
Seeded based on recent PAW Ranking We will have 16 seeded when 64 players in Draw. Hopefully Season 2 (DEN, FRA, CHN, HKG and 1 or 2 SS in 2009) we can create Draw-64. In this season the draw fielded by team's member only, just to cut the number of players who can't play after drawing.
Sandy, I have a suggestion, though it's probably too late... We can create a qualifying round for this season, like in SS, 4 qualifiers in the main draw, but only 8 participants. The qualifying round should be this Toulouse Open. Thus we can have 4 more participants: 3 remaining team members plus, I suggest, kschong (if he does'n mind). But we need a redraw in this case (similar to what BWF do many times). What do you think?
You should take it as an honour to be seeded in the first place. I see no representatives from CWC and ROF yet. Good luck cooler and remember to remain cool during the battle.
I used big tournament only in "Knock Down PAW". The PAWers usually played "all out" in big event, and skipped a few low tier tournament. It was also happened in PAW WTA. Some players skipped and took holiday in PAW when only Tier III or Tier IV tournament in a week. We created "Knock Down PAW" in 128 players with 32 seeded in 5 Grand Slams and 2 Mandatory Tier I (Miami & Indian Wells) for one year. Probably we can create Draw-64 since over 64 PAWers played in last PAW SS. I took "safe" number by create Draw-32, don't want a lot of "bye" or "WO" results in 1st Round. When their PAW Rank rise higher, they have chance to play in next season. Like PAW Team's Race, this event is game based on the regular Final LT of PAW. Take it easy, main target still in regular PAW. If you play well in regular PAW, you got good result in Team also in "Knock Down"
Sandy, I foresee that some PAWers may not be able to complete the whole course. I appreciate the idea and creativity but I just don't see it will go so smoothly. This so-called "knock out PAW" simply discourages risk takers and new comers.
Thats okay...it is part of the game...thats why we have alternates.... You will not please anybody in anyway though....since this is a game....lets enjoy it eventhough I have to face 3rd seed......I am thinking a strategy how to knock out Madbad first ...
Agree with you. It won't be able to please everyone. It's more a reward for those who have performed well in the first year of PAW, and should provide incentive for others to qualify for the next edition of this playoff tournament. As for that dastardly scheming huangkwokhau.......
That's why "Knock Down PAW" only held in big tournament, because of many players skip low tier tournament. And for Season 1, I created the draw just for 32 Team's players to cut the number of players who can't play.
