Does anyone have any feedback / suggestions on what to change from the 2012 format before I copy the worksheets and open entires? I think we should go with the rankings run that includes the last UK tournament results as the end date, and given Bally's proposed Indian Wells return, I think we should still include her.
Having done it before, I think you did a great job. If you're happy to carry on I for one will be grateful.
My only feedback is that I think its a shame when a player dosen't have a full year due to injury, it throws an entrants predictions out so much. Maybe a much higher cut off for tournaments to be contested, 18 or 20 maybe as when its lower, giving events working there way back to match fitness there can often be less than 10 that really count.
If you do it again though, whatever you come up with I'll enter and enjoy.
Certainly include Bally. Partly related to her is the minimum tournament question. Last year you were already adjusting for less than 18 ( men ) and 16 ( women ) and while I take the point that if you are on that mark ( and have been injured ) quite a lot of your scores are lilely to be insignificant, indeed often zero particularly with the men, I wouldn't personally change that too much, if necessarily at all. I don't think we really want too many adjusted rankings.
But on thinking about it more, maybe to 20 for each would be OK ( and isn't too much of a change ), given such as Bally and Tara would have been unadjusted this year with the 16 cut-off for each, so maybe 20 for both men and women, which would still just pick up relatively very few ( who would very probably have been out for some period ) and err maybe Andy.

good day and merry christmas to all! Will there be a prediction competition this year? It is getting close to week one and I havn't seen as much off season hype as usual on this forum :(
I would volunteer myself to run this but work is going to be too hectic in 2013
