i think this is a great schedule...

Alizé Molik · Jun 9th, 2007, 12:07 PM

this schedule seriously kicks arse.

I say add a Tier I on the indoor season, maybe Zurich and put the YEC on a neutral surface. Everyone else has a chance to win a slam on their surface worth 1000 points. Adding a Tier one would give indoor players the same opportunity, we would just have to win two tournaments to do it.

you're just trying to get something to benefit you since you have to defend YEC points

Sure I am, but I don't get to play for a slam with 4 aces. Why not add an extra Tier I event on the indoor schedule to give indoor players the same chance to earn points on their favorite surface. Besides, the YEC should be just that, the YEC on a neutral surface with all players that make it having 2 aces a piece. With only 2 or 3 players having 4 aces at the YEC, it really doesn't make it fun or challenging for the other players that have waited all season to play the YEC.

Sure I will benefit from this, but I think everyone can agree that it is fair, and most of all the YEC will be on a neutral surface, giving everyone a chance to win it, not just the 4 ace indoor players.

1.Adding another Tier I for the indoors.
2.YEC is on neutral surface.
No objections.

The Daviator · Mar 23rd, 2008, 05:37 PM

I understand what you're saying GV, but we didn't do that last season, no one had any complaints, and therefore I don't think we should change it

Again I understand your feelings since you'll likely miss the YEC, but I can't change the game because you missed the first two surfaces, I know it's tough

One thing I might consider is upgrading Linz to Tier I status, and giving more points for the YEC, but I'd like the YEC to stay indoors.

Last year you only got to the YEC because you picked Indoors as your first surface. It is your own dumb and cowardly error that has come to bite you in the behind, and I, for one, am glad.

I moaned about you having indoors as top last year; it was basically a free ticket to the YEC and then you could dominate there too. Not because of ability, oh no, just because everyone else sucks on it. At least it will be an even field this year. Much better. Stay firm Dav.

I know, I know.......it's been said millions of times before, but you really are an ASSHOLE!!! And BTW I made the YEC without winning a slam, must have some skill

sorry to hear that, but I still have to disagree, the YEC should be played on a neutral surface. But I'll move on.

...you know I'm right bitch. Now do, please for the sake of everyone, move on. And then next season change your surface preferences.

I say YEC on a neutral surface, shows who really is the best or at least something like the olympics so once a season everyone can compete evenly together

But there were no issues last season

I'd like to keep S2 as close to S1 as possible, those who pick Indoor as their best are taking a risk, if it pays off then they've got a great chance at the YEC.

I like the idea of an Olympics, I might squeeze it in after the US Open.
