..well, i think calling it just an "Upset"(whenever a lower ranked player/pair beats a higher ranked player/pair) is too broad and general.
.................
What is their reason(s) behind : "And again, if WR#2 beat WR#1 is under "others" means not upset."?
However, i would call this not an Upset but a Minor Upset : "WR#5 beating WR#1 was considered upset before by members."
The WR is there for a purpose, no?? Shouldn't there be some sort of classification, don't you think?..![]()
We do follow WR. Like I just said, you can categorise into MAJOR, MEDIUM, MINOR (whatever terms), by all means, haha.
The "others" category I started it for WR difference 5 or below. WR#2 beat WR#1 is only 1 WR difference. WR#5 beating WR#1 is under "Others" then, not main list, if you've noticed the formating.
As for China/Korea stratch pairs, read back, you'll see many posts on Fu/new partner beating a pair as NOT upset. Or Cai Yun/Xu Chen beating a top #20 pair, esp if the opponent is a so so non Asian pair. Or LYD/Shin, newly crowned German OPen winner. This thread alone there's a comment on Zheng Bo/Ma Jin's win shouldnt be considered upset as GL/Zheng Bo were a splendid.
I was just pointing out that no matter how many categories or sub sections we put, for sure there'll be those who have differing opinions. So, if you want to add in or do, do lor, we all no time.
