Q: Why play only one 8-game no-advantage Pro-Set?
A: It generates more upsets and thus more ladder activity. Also, it is
better
for out-of-shape doubles players, and there are a lot of us. Players can always
play practice sets after the ladder set.
Q: What will be the split of the prize money /
awards?
A: All money taken in will be given back as small awards such
as plaques or certificates. The split will be among the top half players. Here is an example:
20 players on ladder = 10 players will
be awarded.
6 Men at
4.5 #1, 2, 3 awarded
5 Men at
4.0 #1, 2 awarded
4 Men at
3.5 #1, 2 awarded
2 Women at 4.5 #1 awarded
3 Women at 4.0 #1, 2
awarded
Q: What if I don't have an NTRP rating?
A: The players who know you will estimate your rating.
Q: Why not have separate ladders for each
rating category?
A: It's more fun. Due to various styles, some players may find they can move
up the ladder by beating players out of their category more easily than players
within their category.
Q: Why do I have to wait seven days
before I can ask for a re-match?
A: It keeps two players from playing each other exclusively.
It also gives you time to think clearly before you hurt yourself again.
