I don't think there is a tiebreaker! Just gonna hope that never happens!!

You're correct - 17 will qualify, 18 onwards will depend on others. For example, Aika is currently inactive. If the Tour Finals were to start tomorrow, that means 18 would be in, but if Aika comes back before it starts, then the spot is his if he wants it.

The fifth tournament of the year is here; a Masters 1000 on the Aseridith Islands template!

7 players have recorded 3 wins in the first Grand Slam of the Year, and they all sit amongst the top 8 places on the early leaderboard, with CraZy taking an early lead. Arsene Wenger has shot up to second after reaching the Quarters of both Snow Mountains 250 and Belarus 500!

I don't know whether Ekstone explicitly wrote this somewhere, but as many of you know AWP is based on ATP. So, in the event that players have the same total number of points, we should follow ATP Tour rules https://www.atptour.com/corporate/rulebook.aspx

So, here are the tie breakers:

1) the most total points from the Grand Slams, ATP World Tour Masters 1000 mandatory tournaments and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals main draws, and if still tied, then,

2) the fewest events played, counting all missed Grand Slams, ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals they could have played (as described under A. above) as if played, and if still tied, then,

3) the highest number of points from one single tournament, then, if needed, the second highest, and so on.

Thank you both! I think referencing ATP World Tours in determining tiebreakers makes complete sense.

Forsaken takes the biggest points haul this week - his victory on the last Grand Slam of the year, on British Raj, against alexclusive, earned him 600 points, and a guaranteed seeding slot for the Tour Finals!

Elsewhere, Wini picks up enough points to jump back up into the top 16, and with deleted/inactive accounts in play, that will almost certainly be enough to qualify for the Finals!

Wazz becomes the first Quarter-Finalist on the first Grand Slam of the year, and shoots to the top of the leaderboard as a result! Arsene Wenger becomes the first person to win on 5 different tournaments, followed soon after by Timinator.

Can we please get the headers frozen on the google sheet? Rows 1-11 for scores tab, 1-9 for events tab? Would make viewing easier when scrolling down the lists.

Good suggestion - have actioned this.

My hero :D

Getting towards the end of the year now, with only a handful of games remaining across a couple of tournaments.

rakleader topscores this week after defeating sloppyfatginger in the Treasure Map 500 Series Final, whilst Widzisz advances to the Timid Land Masters 1000 Final.

Arsene Wenger moves back to the top of the leaderboard after becoming the first person to win on 6 different tournaments, followed soon after by Timinator. Interestingly, they have both won every game so far this season - with 14 and 13 wins respectively, they are a combined 27-0 this year! Elsewhere, MoriOri reaches the Quarters of the first Grand Slam of the year to jump up to second, alexclusive becomes the second Semi-Finalist of the year on any tournament (Snow Mountains MA 250 Series) and Dom365 becomes the second person to record multiple entries into the last 8 (Arsene Wenger was the first to both of those records).
