On the last day, one more event finished in January. 26. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Discovery https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21291Congrats to MoD for his 4th (!) event win on the Tour! This win means that from now, regarding 250 Series events, only the tourney wins will count for him to his best six part :O (and need minimum semifinals in 500 Series events too) He has got 300 not counted points already which would be enough for TOP50 LOL Time to focus on the major events Master :P Congrats to ANT as well, his performance on the Tour getting better and better lately.

Official Tour Rankings and Tour records updates - 01/2017 - Rankings
- The Official TOP10 on the Tour after January:
- After 3 months we have a new number one, congrats to Panagiotis!
He did very well on January, won a Grand Slam and a 250 Series event, and reach a SF in a Masters.
- Although MIFRAN is very close to him in the second place, the differencies is only 125 points!
- MoD did well also in January, won a 250 Series event and second place in a Masters, with these points he got the third position. (but he still would really need some good major results..)
- Buns did "only" a 500 Series second place, which wasn't enough to keep his second position
Well, I think I must change the Big Three phrase to Big Four!
Just like in the tennis :D
Buns can be Murray, MoD is Federer (their nationality are given :P), Panagiotis is Nadal (the mediterranean champion :D ) and Djokovic "left" to MIFRAN :D
But seriously, these four players are very dominate the Tour present.
They hold (TOP4) ALL (!) the records below!
Ladies and gentlemen, the challenge here, try to be the 5th!
Or the number one, ahead of them ;)
- FlyingBender had got a good chance for this, but he did a break on the Tour, and missed a Grand Slam and a Masters which will be one year handicap to his opponents :O Anyway, he has still good chance to reach the Big Four.
- rakleader's performance is better and better, and only missing some good major results for his better ranking.
- Welcome Quicksilver in the TOP10, it was really impressive debut (and quick as his name :D )
Although, seems he won't reach the Big Four, because he skip many majors, and play only a few events. Except if he change his mind and start to play on the 12 majors at least ;)
- Welcome Wini also in the TOP10, his Masters win was a really nice one. And he seems better and better too, proving that the (very) old schoolers can compete with the new stars if they start to play and practice again!
- Dr. Love and Milly both are very stable TOP10 players for months, collected nice points in January too (315 and 180) making the TOP10 reach a hard challange (1000 points is not enough anymore)

I updated the Events google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ao0SlM6Kv6CE1-Ha5mBIrI6nj4Uft2lMaE25qbXxWHs/pub?gid=648212339&output=htmlThe ongoing events were updated too. And I collected the present finals (F, SF, QF) positions from these events, here are the players with more than 2 finals (the + means still in the game): - 5 - MoD (1SF+, 1SF, 2QF+, 1QF)
- 3 - Panagiotis (1SF+, 2QF+), Edge (1QF+, 2QF)
- 2 - Ollie (1F+, 1SF+), ACL Tears (1F+, 1SF), Hunta (1F+, 1QF), Buns (1SF+, 1QF+), rakleader (1SF+, 1QF+), Wini (1SF+, 1QF+), ANT (1SF+, 1QF+), Jackie Treehorn (1SF+, 1QF+), MIFRAN (1QF+, 1QF).
Seems that MoD will have a points boost, but despite his two finished events will count (Masters QF and 500 Series SF) and he can collect nice points from the 3 others too (Masters, 500 Series and 250 Series (only if he win this last one :D), so despite these his position not too good, because he lost in the first round of the Greece Grand Slam, while the other 3 players from the Big Four are already in the QF on that event! Anyway, MoD's performance really impressive that how many finals he has got, but should more focus on the majors ;) Very nice performance from the others too, Edge, Ollie, ACL Tears etc.

Official Tour Rankings and Tour records updates - 02/2017 - Rankings
- The Official TOP10 on the Tour after February:
Only one event finished in February which didn't have much effect on TOP10, because it was dominated by newcomers (congrats to awesomeusername for his win here too, he is already very close to the TOP10! And congrats to Hunta, Wazz and ACL Tears also).
Only change is that Wini overtook Quicksilver and got the 8th position. And MIFRAN reduced his disadvantage againts Panagiotis (only 80 points left!) with his QF.

Yes, I know, if you check I already updated it in the google doc (Events tab). My forum post is about the end of the last month status, just late a bit :( Btw, I thought that that tourney will be finished the last from the 2016 events :O But after NL Sander's defeat you guys were really fast :D So the first event finished in March: 27. AWP World Tour - Masters 1000 - EastAsia & Oceania https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21351Congratulations to ANT for his first major win, which was his second event win already! He played on all the Tour event so far (Don the other one :D), and recently his performence getting better and better on the Tour, Arkanton started to play? ;) With this 1000 points likely he will be in the TOP10 in the next month! But congrats to Wini as well, his Masters performance incredible so far! W, F, QF in the finished events, and playing in QF and R32 in ongoing events, really awesome imo. And congrats to rakleader and Hades too, their performances are really good recently too! The fights are very exciting for the TOP10 now!
Many good performances but there are only 10 places! :DHere are the TOP16:

And the "usual" analysis about the ongoing Events based on the updated Events google sheet (actually I checked the most fresh status this morning so based on it not the google sheet :D): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ao0SlM6Kv6CE1-Ha5mBIrI6nj4Uft2lMaE25qbXxWHs/pub?gid=648212339&output=htmlI collected the present finals (F, SF, QF) positions from the ongoing events (+ the Masters 1000 won by ANT), so here are the players with 2 or more finals (the + means still in the event): - 6 - MoD (1F+, 1SF, 3QF+, 1QF)
- 5 - Edge (3QF+, 2QF)
- 4 - Buns (1SF+, 1SF, 2QF), Panagiotis (1F+, 1SF+, 2QF+), rakleader (1SF+, 1SF, 2QF+)
- 3 - MIFRAN (1F+, 1SF, 1QF), ACL Tears (1F+, 2QF+), Jackie Treehorn (1SF+, 1SF, 1QF), Wini (1F+, 2QF+), Timinator (1SF+, 1QF+, 1QF)
- 2 - ANT (1W, 1SF), Ollie (1F+, 1SF+), 13CHRIS37 (1QF+, 1QF), Hades (1SF, 1QF+), awesomeusername (2QF+), Rob (1SF, 1QF+), culpa (2QF+).
Additionally I collected all present major events and QF+ small events point status for the TOP20 + players above + Emu Pub (becuase his GS final), and here are the Rankings based on those present minimum points (in the brackets the possible maximum points from majors):  - Fight for the first place
As you can see, Pana's first position is safe enough for a while.
Only MIFRAN is near to him, but the Swedish genius already out all of the running majors so no chance to collect big additional points in the near future.
Despite MoD's 6 finals from ongoing events, he hasn't chance neither, because he is only in one Masters final, the rest all smaller events which means very few points for him (because his already strong present best six results)
Only Buns has got the chance to the overtaking in the near future, because he is still alive in the running Grand Slam (already in the semifinal)
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=13002995
This game is very important regarding the fight for the first place topic.
If Pana wins this, no chance Buns neither to overtake him in the near future.
Btw if Pana wins, will be Buns vs. Pana in the semifinal, a very important fight too :O
If Pana wins that too, he will have a very strong first position, but if Buns wins (and can win the final too) he will join to Pana's and MIFRAN's point levels (4000+)
I am so excited to see what will be the end of that Grand Slam :D
- Fight for the TOP10
Wini, rakleader, ANT, all 3 players run very good recently on the Tour.
Currently, they are the next "level" after the Big Four, with 2000+ points and all of them have a good chance even to reach the 3000+ level too in the near future! It is certain that they will be in the TOP10 for a while. So left only 3 places for fighting :O And many fighters :D
FlyingBender missed 5 events (1 Grand Slam, 1 Master, 2 500 Series) during his break, and after his return, he wasn't able to win a game yet :( He was almost on the TOP, but something broke :( He is still in the TOP10, but the others are coming :D
Milly, DR. Love, Hades the next "level". Hades came forward the most recently, but Milly has got the best growth potential in the near future among the three of them.
Quicksilver, Ollie and Sultan unfortunately neither of them are in the Rankings business :(
They skipped a lot of majors, so no real chance to the top...
But this is not a real problem (only for me who would like a lot them for the Rankings :D ), because the fun of the Tour is not only the Rankings, but the individual events too, I mean win a Tour event is a nice challenge too, there are many hard opponents in every tourney!
Very interesting that so far, in every Grand Slam there is an "outsider" who reach the final :D DR. Love, Quicksilver and now Emu Pub. And seems that Emu won't stop with this trophy like Quick :P, he start to join the Tour events (so I am so happy :D)
awesomeusername, ACL Tears and 13CHRIS37, all have got a good chance for points boost! Chris is a veteran, and his fight againts Pana in the Grand Slam was mentioned above. ACL and awesome are not anymore newcomers, they are arrived ;), and I am wonder how long they will reach. I think long :D
PJ017, my other favorite, is on a long holiday (a big Asian trip), he is relax instead of fighint hard on the Tour... :D
Still waiting for Timinator's big results :P Joke aside, I am happy he is enjoy the Tour and joining to the events, and I am sure he will start to deliver the good results soon :D
Ok, I stop writing... I did a new tldr...
But I enjoyed :D :P

I enjoy itself to make analysis, collect statistics and running this second Tour (beside the ATP Tour), but it is an additional happy for me that you guys enjoy it also (despite my hard Hunglish ;) ). Especially, since without you I cannot enjoy anything :D So this is a real win-win situation I think :D In an event's forum topic I "promised" that I will write about my Tour development plans, so... Immediate roadmap (immediate = months :P ): - Create a FAQs for the Tour
This is a must, because I think many players still don't understand exactly how the Tour works :O
- Create a better, simpler, more transparent forum/google docs structure for the Tour
- Choose templates for all the 2017 Tour events, and update the google docs with them.
And try to involve the community more somehow :O
- Purge my Tour invitation list (remove alts, inactive players, and not Tour oriented active players)
My other plans (depends on my free time): - Write more news, analysises, statistics, making more colorful the Tour
(as I wrote above, I simple enjoy this type of activities :D my very few freetime is the only obstacle :( (+ my Hunglish too...) )
- Implement the Davis Cup (this is a single elimination event for minimum two-person national teams, where the teams play 4 1vs1 and 1 2vs2 games in a round)
See more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis_Cup
- Implement 2vs2 (and 3vs3) event series and Rankings (a Team Tour) similar than ATP Doubles Rankings
See more: http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/rankings/doubles
- Implement the year end ATP Finals for the best eight (even TOP10) players
See more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATP_World_Tour_Finals
- Making a CLOT for the Tour, in order that we can use these features:
- https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/15523269-seeded-private-tournaments
- https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/15523368-best-of-x-tournament-rounds
- https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/15523563-bye-option-for-the-private-tournaments
- plus an advanced automatic invitation method for the Tour events
I speak about an automatic event opt-in system, which would be based on the Ranking List and a Wild Card system, similar than now, but with many advanced features (for example the three above or advanced qualification system, etc.)
- But the biggest advantage of this CLOT would be the infinite (and realtime!) statistic possibilities.
I mean, now, making statistics is a time-consuming process. But using CLOT, owning the databases, making statistics would mean only create queries, and after that update a stats only run the query.
It would be possible making a realtime virtual Ranking List, where the results from ongoing events would be counted also for example. Or H2H statistics! But the possibilities are really endless!
Well, what I will 100% do, those the four steps in the “Immediaty roadmap” section. Likely I will write more news, analysises, statistics too, because as I wrote, I adore this type of activities, but the volume of this posts will strongly depends on my freetime :O But speaking the remaining points, well, I am not really sure I will implement those (at least for the foreseeable future) :( Not only because my very few freetime, but I would like a lot to start already the next AWP project! It is a very exciting one (at least for me :D ) So there is only small chance for more work on AWP World Tour than I wrote above (the first 5 points) :| But, feel free anyone to pick up one of those idea above, and implement it :P
Or make your own Tour idea. I am very open for any contribution!I always “envied” how many volunteers the Clan League has got ;)
