We are already in the second week of the tournament and we are getting closer to the tougher matches. Just only a player outside of the top 8 seeded players has made it to the QFs. Tien, seeded 25, beat Medveded in just 3 sets. The rest of the favorites keep on fighting .
In our pool, @Undisciplined beat us all again. Congrats! It looks like it's going to be difficult to reach him, though @User21000000 is fighting fiercely.
On aggregate @Undisciplined remains at the top, followed by @User21000000, second, and @Carresas is third.

Maximum 30 out of a possible 60 points here. Your reign of terror is coming to an end.
I think there's an analogy between what I'm doing and DCA'ing vs what the rest of you are doing and timing.
It's a good strategy because the points for getting sets correct vs the winner are so imbalanced.
Early rounds the sets should probably be worth the same as the winner and then escalate as you get to QF and beyond where longer games and upsets become more likely.
I just play the game as it's designed
@Carresan time to consider a scoring system change to throw off those that choose to exploit your fine contest.
I will keep as it is for this contest. We need to abide by the rules. But I will review it for the next contest, probably lowering weight of initial rounds where is harder to see a surprising result and more likely to end up the match in 3 sets.
Picking underdogs, unless you really believe in them, only really makes sense in bracket-type challenges, because then you benefit from being right for multiple rounds.
Ahh, the losers' appeal for rule changes. A fundamental part of sport.
Sometimes sports need to adjust rules to protect the integrity of the game. You have found a good strategy. Pat yourself on the back but what kind of contest would it be if everyone just followed your strategy because it works so well. We would all be tied heading into the final and some sort of tiebreaker would have to determine the winner. If that is the case we could have just skipped the entire contest and just had everyone enter a winner, sets and tiebreaker for the final.
It's up to carresan. His show. I merely make suggestions.
