Hi all,

I think I need to clarify something about the following part of our tournament:

show: GAMES and POINTS

As you can see, the quad game has a fairly high score of 4 points. Originally I was going to have the singles and doubles games played and then play the quad game as best of 3. I decided against that because of the time factor, it would drag every round out by at least a few days if not longer. That's why I decided to set up one quad together with the other games and only in case it would be the deciding game, make it best of 3 and set up the other 2 quad games.

And if you think about it, the quad game is only one game, but counts for 4 points. That's why I decided to count the singles and doubles first, then apply the quad game. So, if the difference in score is less than 4 points, after adding up the singles and doubles scores, the quad game is the deciding game and thus automatically best of 3 and the 4 points will be given after that.

And, if the difference in score is 4 points after adding up the singles and doubles scores, and the team with 4 points wins the quad, it will be 8-8. The 4 points are given after the first game although the quad will also become automatically best of 3 to decide the winner of the round. The score will remain 8-8 though.

If the difference in points is more than 4, after adding up the singles and doubles scores, you play just 1 quad game for 4 points.

I could have chosen many ways to do this, however this is the way I decided. I did that after careful consideration of what is fair and not too time consuming and "test calculations" to see different outcomes.

You'll just need to keep in mind that you cannot celebrate yet if you win the quad game, because it may end up being best of 3.

If the majority of you do not agree with this we can do it different, let me know.

So if I read this correctly, unless a team wins 75% of the singles and doubles, we'll be playing 3 Quads regardless? Double check the math but in order to only play 1 quad, you would have to take 9 or of the 12 points or more being 3/4 singles and 3/4 of the double 3*1+3*2=9 vs the 1*1+1*2=3. Given the teams in the tournament are skilled, I see a lot of quad play coming and the quad games really are the decider then for every series due to 4 points. Could you maybe reduce the quad to 2 points?

Crouching Beaver win game Game 4099642

Also not sure Crouching beaver won 4099665 (not sure if this had been posted or not)

Could you maybe reduce the quad to 2 points?

My original idea was to have everybody play the quad game the best of 3. It's a team league, so the team game is important. That's also why I gave it the 4 point value. The reason I set up only 1 quad game in the beginning is that it will not always be the decider and if it's not, playing one game is enough and saves time (this tourney will take long enough as it is). I have thought about making the quad worth 3 points, but decided against it.

What I will do from now on to avoid confusion is this: I'll set up all the singles and doubles games and only when they are finished I'll set up the quad game(s). If it's not the deciding match, I will just set up one game to see who gets the points. Remember that the points are not the most important, but the amount of wins over another team overall (per round) is what decides the winner. I agree that many quads will turn out to be the best of 3, but not all of them.

Anybody else have any thoughts about this?

Technically the quad game is the decider only if they win it. Otherwise you could say that our two doubles victories were the decider. In this case we have won 5 of 8 games and are on track to win the quad game as well giving us 6 of 9 games. Now despite winning 6 of 9 we have to play two more and if we lose them we lose the week despite winning over half the games and winning the original quad game anyway? This does not seem like an accurate gauge of who should win. If going in there is a tie or the team that won less games wins the quad I can see this being applied, but this seems wrong in the instance. I will post on the forum as well. What do you think Serbia since it is your team that is effected this week, but you could easily loose on the same technicality next week?
