Right now, there are 2 separate things that can produce different winners if BOHT PLAYERS send the same points for the same set.
One says: Player with higher surface order wins that set. If tied, then higher ranked player wins.
Other says: Player with more points on that surface wins. If tied, then higher ranked player wins.
This occurred last week where both players sent the exact same points for the determining set in Canterbury vs. Zianzhi.
I didn't realize this, but I went with Rule 1 (as I thought it had always been). Both players had clay as their top preference and the higher ranked player won, meaning Zianzhi won the match.
However, Canterbury had more points in clay than the opposing player. So, she could have won according to the second rule.
Discuss and vote what you want the rule to be. Majority wins - poll closes Saturday.
