Thanks for organizing AWP, Ekstone :)

Really enjoying the AWP so far. Thanks Ekstone!

Before October I basically only played Small Earth templates. :) Since joining the AWP tour, I've been learning fast. Lots of settings I haven't really used before in some of these, like multi-attack, army caps, and more.

I'll have to take a screenshot of when I sat on top of the rankings in the 2020 AWP tour race after one finished event. 11th overall as we come toward the end of April? I'll take it! :D

@Ekstone, is there a spreadsheet yet that shows the rankings in the image below? Or is it yet to be posted? Thx

@tornado
You are welcome, and congrats on your likely Tour Finals 2021 qualification ;)

@huddyj
You are welcome.
Your good performance is a surprise to me. Keep it up! ;)

@Viking1007
I haven't published this table, because this is only an auxiliary stuff, but why not :)
So from now I will publish the google docs link too, so not only the TOP25 players will be visible.
You will find these google docs links below the TOP25 images.

Weekly Tour Race update - Week 18

• The TOP25 on the 2020 Tour Race based on results from the finished and ongoing events so far:
  
  
  
  You can find the full list here:

• Around 54 games have been finished since the last update, and so far a total of 1013/3918.
  (These are approximate numbers because I register new players only once a month and the winnings of these new players are not counted by automation until that)
  
• There aren't very many changes compared to last week, tornado increased his advantage a bit (with 70 points)
  
• Two Ninjas, Rak and Hergul, is climbing to the top of the Ranking, already in 5th and 6th positions.
  
• huddyj is in the TOP10 already with an additional 100 points.
  
• and Buns appeared in the TOP25 :)
  
• So this is the live situation on 2020 Tour Race, but the journey is still very long, stay with me and let’s see who will win the regular season and who will be the 16 fighters who will be able to fight for the 2021 AWP World Champion title! :)

Thanks Ekstone!

@Ekstone Thanks :)

I have a question. How come only the best six results from the 500 and 250 tournaments are included? Most of the tournaments are 500 and 250 level. A player can technically play around 30 such tournaments in one season, right? I feel like Grand Slams and Masters are overemphasized this way. I assume you're doing it this way because it may be too much work to include all the tournaments in ranking calculations, in which case that's fine, I understand :)

@tornado, Ekstone uses the same ranking system as the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) because the AWP is modelled off that.

@tornado -

A big reason to cap it is because otherwise your ranking suffers if you don't play most of the tournaments. By capping the number of 250/500 events that count you can then skip those 250/500 templates that you don't like w/o any penalty (which makes it more fun for the players who hate a bunch of templates but also want to do well, which is a lot of players I think).

Thanks for the responses.

@huddyj: I knew he uses the ATP ranking system, but I didn't know that's how ATP did it. I thought ATP rankings included all tournaments. I just checked and I can confirm that Ekstone, of course, is doing it the right way. There is one minor difference which, in my opinion, doesn't require any changes to the AWP ranking system since it may be too much additional work for Ekstone. In the ATP ranking system, every tournament out of the 'big 12' (4 Grand Slams and 8 Masters 1000s) that a player skips or doesn't play for whatever reason makes him eligible to have an additional 'small' (500s and 250s) tournament be counted towards his ranking. So if you only play 10 out of the 12 big tournaments, you can have 8 instead of the current 6 small tournaments be counted towards your ranking, which makes sense IMO. I'm not sure how difficult this is to implement for Ekstone, but if it's easy to do, I'd love to see it.

@Quicksilver: I see your point and I agree.

Good conversation!
I will open a Tour development topic, and continue there, and I will answer there.

But now, monthly admin tasks for me :)

Three finished events in April, congrats time!

As we agreed in the improvement thread, I will reduce the GS points (with 1500/2000 ratio) so those reduced GS points will be used starting from the next week update.

I have created an automation for Tour Records, so from now I will post this in the monthly update posts.
You can find it on this link too (April records are included)

Weekly Tour Race update - Week 21

• The TOP25 on the 2020 Tour Race based on results from the finished and ongoing events so far:
  
  
  
  
• You can find the full list here:

• Around 51 games have been finished since the last update, and so far a total of 1273/3918 (the 63 games of the first finished event accidentally removed earlier, but I put them back now)
  (These are approximate numbers because I register new players from finished events only once a month and the winnings of these new players are not counted by automation until that)

As we agreed in the improvement thread
https://www.warzone.com/Forum/421108-awp-world-tour-improvements-thread
I have reduced the GS points (with 1500/2000 ratio) so starting from the 2020 GS events we use these new GS points (1500/900/540/270/140/70/35). I have changed the points of the first finished GS events too, not too much difference.

The TOP9 players did not change (only Jo Jo and Kurdistan replaced), with reaching a GS semifinal, Soldier of Orange climbed to 10th place (from 25th), and with reaching a Masters final, PJ appeared in the TOP25 (18th).
