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!

Weekly Tour Race update - Week 19

• 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:
  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS_HKhaAssYQlNxYFgaiGxpz9H_IVQbzfB5yX5ieeKQ_4zVwjJBXT6t9Y0p3HLFPO_K2CjC3mKTamiD/pubhtml
  
  
• Around 72 games have been finished since the last update, and so far a total of 1085/3918.
  (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)
  
• Jo Jo and Kurdistan swapped their places (2nd and 3rd)
  
• Similar to the Lynxer movement above, Ninjas, Hergul and Rak swapped their places too (5th and 6th)
  
• Octane and Terence Kill swapped as well in TOP10.
  
• Guest moved from 20th to 12th with reaching a Masters semifinal
  
• AI and ACL Tears appeared in the TOP25 while Buns and Reza slid down.
  
• 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! :)

  (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)

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)

• 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).

There weren't too many changes from the previous week, the TOP8 place is unchanged, but there are two things to mention.
Looks like GG is starting to finally build a stronger Tour presence again (last time, JV’s 8th Race place was noteworthy in 2018), two GG players are in the TOP10, Soldier of Orange and ADHDnI, congrats!
And congrats to Malakkan too for his another 250 Series event win!

Tornado continued to perform well in the Grand Slams, reaching the quarterfinal on Bork too! +70 points from a smaller event too, so he increased his advantage by 200 points.
Winning the Guiroma Masters, Guest is already the 3rd position on the Race.
Beren appeared in the TOP25 (22th) with two Masters querterfinals.
Btw, the competition is very tight, Octane with +160 points stayed on 6th, Rak with +180 points stepped forward only one place.
Who will be the 16 fighters who will fight for the 2021 AWP World Champion title?! :)

Is the AWP thing going on and I have to wait or can I join tomorrow

it is ongoing but you can join whenever
it's a series of tournaments, joining gets you invited weekly

Tornado is still first, but Rak has started to catch up, won the BIV Masters (after defeated Timi in semi-finals, he gained the right to automatically win the event with a boot win against the retired Kurdistan)
Who will be the 16 fighters who will fight for the 2021 AWP World Champion title?! :)

Till when do i have to be in the top 16 to participate in the knock out?
