Topic: THE VADER TROPHY! (Vader League 2020)

Since the first Slam of 2020 is now well underway, I thought creating a new thread on Vader was about due.

We can chat about our picks once they close and any other relevant subjects regarding the Vader competition this season.

I have noted that the points distribution on TDC for AO is slightly out, we will have to get our admin guy to take a look and adjust it accordingly.

Btw...Have we always had zero points for a player who has the bye in a 250 and then loses first up?
The actual ATP player with the bye still receives 20pts I believe, so maybe it should be the same for the Teams Comp, just wondering anyway.

I looked it up. As far as I understand this player (who has the bye and then loses his first match) receives no ranking points unless it's Masters !000 tournament. Qualifiers receive ranking points for reaching the first round of any tournament

Thanks Edgar, you are correct. smile

I didn't think we would have different points than the real thing, I see now that Khachanov scored zero points for losing first up in Auckland when he had the bye.

Still really early days Murreee, but it is important to score well at the Slams of course, it's a long season though with lots of twists and turns, Vader is always enjoyable and challenging.
