Yeah, there is a maximum of 8 for Tier IIs at the moment (QF draw) and 16 for Tier Is (BYEs would have to be included obviously). I was thinking of fixing up the Tier I draw system to 8 as well however, and including qualifying for lower ranked players...
interesting

Interesting good or interesting bad? :unsure: I wouldn't want to arrange any rules that players didn't approve of, I don't want to be a dictator :lol:
Interesting good :lol:. The thing about qualifying for non ranked players. But would that pertain to this certain tournament, Dubai? since there seems to be only a handful entering it, is that the reason of leaving it at eight? Or were you planning to use that idea for the rest of the Tier I's?

I dont know? I'm not really sure how many committed players there are for the tour, but the 8-8 idea sounds good. But then that eliminates choice of tournaments. what if 9 players played a Tier II and only 6 for a Tier I. personally i signed up for Paris because the court looks better and ALG scares me. :lol: But what the hell, you can only enter one or the other.

Maybe after this trial test of Dubai and Paris, a more sound setup can be used for future tournaments. But it seems you are headed toward the right direction. wish i could give more input instead of creating more questions.

Right now, if say one tournament has 8 and the other only 6 people playing, there would have to be given two bye's to make it complete. However, if one tournament would have 9 and the other 7 players (just an example) I think the last person to enter should just switch tournaments because s/he is a late entry.

I'm not even sure we have 16 players yet so far :lol: so I think we have no choice but to have a draw starting at the QF for now.

I like the switching idea :lol: but it could conflict with people making their own schedules.

I totally agree with the bye's though. It would be the most logical solution.

If I were any good I'd sign up. I guess I'd also need to create a female player.

Did GracefulVenus retire from the tour or the tournament??

I just wanna be sure, if so, I want to switch to Venus Williams. And I'll still play Anna through IW, just to finish.
