Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

YEC ALTs who didn´t get in are obviously allowed to play this event as well
so if a YEC ALT got into Singapore on RR Day 2 or RR Day 3, and only played 2 RR matches or 1 RR match, they are still ruled out of Zhuhai right :p

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

but if I send for ALTs every day, and I by some chance get to play on the third day, can I still choose not to play so I would be able to play Zhuhai and have a chance for more points then I would have gained in that one YEC match? :shrug:

just don´t send on third day if you don´t wanna get in for one match only, once you sent and you get in there is no way for you to play Zhuhai!

if a Singapore player goes 2-0 and then forgets to send on RR Day 3 (and were replaced by ALT for Day 3), but their 2-0 record would still qualify them for SF, would they go to SF :shrug:

You used to be so proud to know the rules:


Players or Teams who got replaced during the RR rounds still have the chance to qualify for the next stage if they scored more points than her RR opponents.

For QD seed order (to give BYEs), do I use rankings without considering LE status, or entry order?

Seems a bit odd that someone can swoop in at the last minute and gain a direct entry to the MD.

Normal LEs can be seeded and can get BYEs, that is just not the case for Top 30 LEs

ok, so I was thinking yesterday, totally random, and I figured this situation, don't know if it can even happen but it's worth a shot to ask :oh:

imagine you have 3 people who are LL and they have identical picks, SR and ISR, so you would go on TB1. But what would happen if Player A has a better TB1 then Player B, Player B then Player C and Player C then Player A? :rolls: Also imagine that only TB1 is valid or something, because the other two were w/o or ret, IDK :oh:

so just hypothetically, what would said manager do in that situation?

If they have identical picks use countback.



If they beat each other in a circle with ISR (A def. B, B def. C and C def. A), then ask people who voted NO in THIS POLL :oh:

OR

You can use countback too.



If after the use of CB you still can't separate people I guess you will sort them in ranking order (if this happens ask board what to do).

That can't happen with TBs, no? One is always better than the other (or tied)

It could happen with ISRs, though.

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

that's why I said I am not sure it could happen :lol: but if it could, what would one do?

yes, I always have stupid ideas, isn't it obvious? :oh:

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

looks like the manager put the wrong Zhang as winner into the sheet.
You are right, K.Zhang won and you won your match on SRs!

Just send for tomorrow and Doug will correct it once he is online and sees your post!

hello fabulous board members :wavey:

can you please expand on why for doubles, the rule change for 2015 stipulates that when a player does not send in a round other than 1R, a player can win a 1 vs 2 match in a 2 Day round but not a 1 Day round ???

it is impossible to give a walkover to a team on Day 1 already as it still could be the case that one player of the other team forgets to send picks on 2nd day as well, so in this case the team is allowed to stay in the draw and still has a slim chance to win as well.

what if in a 2 Day Round, teams are tied after Day 1 and then one player forgets to send on Day 2? does the team where both players sent advance automatically or does it go down to a 1 vs 2 on Day 2 :shrug:

if it goes to a 1 vs 2 on Day 2, I don't see a huge difference between this situation and a 1 day round where one player did not send :hysteric:

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

Okay, this is a random question, but when I've been typing in the #LE# for the TT-Spreadsheet, the players are still added to the Entry Lists where their ranking indicates they should be rather than being added to the bottom of the entry lists behind lowly ranked players such as myself. Is there a solution to this? It's not a problem so far, it's just mightily inconvenient to have to move players around on the Entry Lists.

you mean that LEs are sorted by ranking and not by commitment order when you use the EL maker?
or you talk about Top30 LEs only?
anyway, in both cases you have to make manual changes, that´s right....


so are you saying that in a 2 Day Round, if a player forgets to send on Day 2, his team is automatically eliminated :confused:
No, that´s why we don´t do it when there is a two days round, we can´t eliminate them on Day1, so we also don´t do it on Day2

ah you can read me all right
back then I had read in Effy's thread that you and DVD had blocked me/put in ignore list that's why I asked this
thanks
you had it coming as you were insulting me (and not only me) for no reason :rolleyes:

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

trust me, I would like to put some TT players on ignore as well, but Igorche forbade us to do so :rolleyes:

I didn't forbid you :rolleyes: I just said that when you manage tournament remove them from ignore, and when they lose put them on ignore again

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

I don't have anyone on my ignore list who's playing TT.

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

I am sorry but I have to ask this since I proposed something in the New Rule Proposal thread related to this :awww:

if an ALT for Singapore / Zhuhai / Challenger YEC already sent for Day 1 and didn't get in, can he then withdraw and then go play an ITF the same week :shrug:

Thanks :hatoff: @Darth Revan, your attempt to vulture Poitiers flopped :facepalm: , now you are not playing any tournament for this week :sobbing:

Re: "Ask the board" thread! Vol 2 ( List of current TT board members in the opening p

why d fak can't I play Poitiers? :rolleyes:

I have seen people waiting to get into Q of WTA, they sent as ALTs did not get in, and went to be ALTs for an ITF that did not start yet. Even SAISAI approved it when it was for Davidspell and danieln1 IIRC.

but what ever, not like I need the points anyway

I think it is because being an ALT for a RR event is different than being an ALT for a regular tournament :hug:
