I think that the more you develop your idea of two seasons, the better it gets. However, I still think we should keep the one season format and tweak it.
Elikian: Good to see a new person who wants to be active on the forum and in tournaments. :) I take it you're from the Netherlands? And do you have MSN? You have some good ideas. This thread has produced a bunch of new ideas as alternatives to the 2 seasons/year idea. I'm not even sure which one to ...
TScott's idea makes sense to me. The system needs to be changed somehow, and lowering points for small tournaments but making more count seems like it would balance out. It gives more people a chance to do well, but at the same time it adds to the importance of larger tournaments. What I said about ...
I have an idea for a compromise, and I'll let you guys decide the specifics if you like it. Instead of shrinking the season down, why not just change the rules? Blacky, it seems to me like the biggest problem you have with the current schedule is with the small tournaments and getting the points fro...
The changes seem good so far: they're definitely visible but don't seem to make it impossible for defenders. I need to play S.Williamz before I decide for sure though.
I've brought this up to all the moderators, and now I think it's time to give everyone else a chance to voice their opinions. My idea is this: 1. Throw out the 06 rankings. They don't correspond other than very loosely to 09 skills. 2. Hold 4 practice tournaments during the month of December. There ...
I'm glad to see that someone with an attitude as bad as yours didn't win the last tournament on 06. And conversely, I'm glad to see someone with as good an attitude as Ahmed's win. Congrats Ahmed!
Today, S.Williamz and I played a match with both of us as defenders. It was crazy, pointless, and it took over half an hour. Now I understand his argument, and I withdraw what I said. The game needs some serious tweaking. And here's a couple of other things that we agreed on: The lob should be much ...
I took Federer here. Although he didn't look good in the last couple months, he really got back on track at the US Open and I think he'll continue that trend at the Aussie.
S.Williamz , it's good when you collect your though, your point is getting really clearer..! :) So yup, I'll lower the speed bonus. And I'll think about tune the normal strike speed with & without topspin, maybe give a couple of km/h bonus when no topspin at all... BTW, even when u're done with...
