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 ;)

A 2017 started event finished. 30. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Unicorn Island https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21761Congratulations to MIFRAN for his fourth (!) Tour event win. The TOP2 ranked players were in this final, so it was interesting in Rankings point of view also. If I count well, left only 50 points different beetwen Pana and MIFRAN after this (and the earlier finished Masters) :O Nice race :D Congrats to Hades and ANT too, very good runs recently as I wrote earlier. Here are the TOP16:

The third Grand Slam finished (it was really quick :O ) so congratulation time :D 29. AWP World Tour - Grand Slam - Strategic Greece https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21684Very big congratulations to Buns for his first major event win (this was his third event win btw). Congrats to Emu Pub too, this was a nice entrants to the Tour! And congrats to Rob and Pana too. Btw, with this Grand Slam win, with the 2000 points boost, he likely will get the second place in next month. The present situation is (after 3 finished events in this month): 1. Pana 4510
2. Buns 4270
3. MIFRAN 4100 Very close in the first three positions. Only one member of the Big Four haven't won any major event yet, MoD. But based on the pattern, he will win the next Grand Slam (the MA one :O ) Because so far, always one of the Big Four won the Grand Slams (MIFRAN, Pana, Buns) againts a "totally outsiders" (DR. Love, Quicksilcver, Emu Pub) :O Will MoD really win the MA Grand Slam events? And who will be now the "outsider" in the final? We will see, but MoD very should win that Grand Slam, not because he tail away from the TOP3 (he has 2495 points now) , but the others are coming hard (Wini (2295), rakleader (2105), ANT (1895), etc.) I love this race :D Here are the TOP16:

Official Tour Rankings and Tour records updates - 03/2017 - Rankings
- The Official TOP10 on the Tour after March:
Buns scored a lot of points (2180) in the last month, but step forward "only" two places, from 4th to 2nd, because Pana did a very well month as well (scored 915 points) and still hold the first place (in the 3th consecutive month). MIFRAN did a good month too (+585 points), so now, they three are so close in the TOP3! So will be very (very!) interesting race for the first place in the near future! They need very concentrate play on every running and future major events to surmount the other two :D
Only one player "need more" these good major results than them, he is MoD :O MoD is definitely belong to the Big Four (just check the records section below), but begins to fall behind from the other three in the Rankings :( This is only because his weak major results so far (especially in Grand Slams, he got 135 of 6000 points from GS level so far :O ) This is only a big unluck on him so far, or he cannot raise (with more focused play) his already very high base level, I don't know, this is a good question. But won't be any "problem" if he win the now starting MA Grand Slam :P
MoD needs the good major results not because he should gain upon the present TOP3, but the new waves are coming hard :D Wini (+780), rakleader (+475), ANT (+1045) and Hades (+630) are all did a very well month! Wini runs on the Masters wonderfully so far! If he able to approach this performance on the Grand Slams too, well then we need some name changes :D And I adore it that as an (very) old school player he showed us, the old generation can compete the new one ;) Rak and ANT both have already two event wins! Rak "only" continue his good performance, but ANT recently was able to raise his level (and started to play at the Arkanton level :P ), and welcome him in the TOP10 (although once he was in TOP10 already in the very beginning of the Tour). And welcome Hades in the TOP10 too! Seems, they four will be stable TOP10 members (even will give a challange to the Big Four too) and left only two remaining TOP10 places to the others :O
FlyingBender still is in a weak form after he returned from his break :/ Earlier he is already very near (actually in) the Big Four, but now fell behind :( I just only hope his good performance will come back soon :O
DR. Love still holds his TOP10 position, but he should accelerate a bit, because many players are coming to the TOP10 ;)

Meanwhile, during my (very) lated... monthly update, two new events finished in April. So congratulation time! :D 23. AWP World Tour - Masters 1000 - China https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21130Congratulation to MoD for his first major event win! :D (this was his 5th (!) event wins btw) So MoD repelled Wini's attack for the 4th place now, but to be continued :D Wini's performance on the Masters is incredible so far! 1 Win, 2 Finals, 1 Quarter Final! (so he reached finals in ALL of the 4 Masters so far)! Big congratulations to Milly and Treehorn as well, very well performance too! Milly likely will be back to the TOP10 with this result. Here are the TOP16: 35. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Malvia https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=22175Very big congratulations to Edge for his first Tour event win! It was likely after his very much finals (I wrote about it in one of my earlier anaylizing post) Congrats to Swisster too for his first final. They two did an excellent performances, especially if we check who are behind them in this tourney ;) Here are the TOP16:

You are welcome Edge! I am interested to see as well what to expect about Rankings, so I made my monthly ongoing events analysis, based on the state of yesterday morning. Here are the updated google docs: 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 China Masters won by MoD, and the Malvia 250 Series won by Edge), so here are the players with 2 or more finals (the + means still in the event): - 6
MoD (1W, 1F+, 1SF, 1QF+, 2QF)
- 4
Edge (1W, 1F+, 1SF, 1QF) Panagiotis (1F+, 1SF+, 1QF+, 1QF) Wini (1F, 1SF, 1QF+, 1QF) Timinator (1F+, 3QF) Jackie Treehorn (2SF, 2QF) rakleader (1SF, 1QF+, 2QF) ACL Tears (1F+, 1SF+, 1QF+, 1QF)
- 3
MIFRAN (1F+, 2SF) ps (3 QF) Doron Hoh (1SF+, 2QF)
- 2
dry-clean-only (1F+, 1QF) Hunta (1SF+, 1QF) Ollie (2F+) malakkan (1SF, 1QF+) culpa (1SF, 1QF) ANT (2QF+) Muli (2QF) Rento (2SF+)
Additionally I collected all present major events and QF+ small events point status for the TOP20 + players above, and here are the Rankings based on those present minimum points (in the brackets the possible maximum points but only from majors): As you can see, counting the ongoing events, Pana still has got a nice (actually higher) point lead. Interesting, but all the Big Four already out from the Battle Islands V Masters :O MoD already out from the Guiroma Masters too, but the other three still in, so the fight in the TOP3 is very close! MoD, after he won his first Masters, is closer to them, but as I wrote, he is already out from all the running majors, so his only hope (for the takeover) the coming MA Grand Slam event ;) Additional interesting stuff, that seems Buns started to play only in the important events, which means the majors (Grand Slam and Masters). Logical step in Rankings point of view, because the best six results of the Big Four already very high, the only possibility them for bigger additional points from this section is winning 500 Series events. So I would do the same than Buns, but join to the 500 Series events as well (and those new results will be good as well when the old results start to expire!) Wini, build on his excellent Masters performance so far, getting closer and closer to the Big Four, although he lost the important Masters final againts MoD. Milly seems will come back to the TOP10, and join to the illustrious group of rakleader, ANT and Hades (although reakleader has got the biggest potential (regarding present and possible maximum points) among them to reach the Big Four in the near future) FlyingBender's falling continues :((((( I hope that he will be able to solve all obstacles and can start again the focused play on the Tour ;) Unfortunatelly I don't have more time to continue the analysis :( Only one more thing. Timinator still couldn't get his first Tour event win, what means (for me) the avarage field of the Tour is quite strong :D

Could you limit it so that players can only compete in 1 tournament of any size at once, I skimmed the rules so you might already do this.

Maybe tomjh speaks about that the smaller events are filled up very quickly, I don't know. @Doron Hoh You are welcome. And good luck for the mountaineering, you are on a good way ;) New event finished, so congrats time :D 31. AWP World Tour - 500 Series - GME III https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21836A very huge congratulation to MoD for his 6th (!) Tour event win! This performance is marvellous! I think his base play level is one of the highest, however, seems that he has problems when he should raise this base level and should play in a more focused way? (regarding his missing (compared to his other results leastwise :P ) major results) Who knows :D Congrats to Edge as well for his second final in a short time. And congrats to malakkan and culpa too. Here are the TOP16: Just for fun, I checked what the rankings is if we consider only the smaller events with the best six results limit. Here are the TOP10 of this virtual Rankings: Edit: this list is without the two event finished in this month, but no time to update it now :| Edit2: MoD has got now 1930, and Edge is the TOP10 too with 755 points :D

With this win he will be in TOP50 sure (so one Wild Card released for others :D ) Congrats to ACL Tears as well for his first Final (after one QF and SF). And congrats to BigMack for his first SF, and Buns too (although no points counted for him, because his already many best six finals :P ) Here are the TOP16: 32.

With this win he will get 160 additional points, and likely will regain the second position, but (far) not enough for the first one. Congrats to JV for hist first Final (it took a long time :P ), and likely will be in TOP50 too (so again a released Wild Card :D ). Congrats to Jackie and Edge as well, they performances recently are very impressive! Here are the TOP16:
