Can't believe I managed to prop up both the men and women's 2024 tables

Can only get better in 2025 biggrin

You didn't prop up the men's table.

The last table in the men's thread is a joint table adding men's and women's points. Fair dos, you prop up that

The substitutions did make a big difference. Var (11) CD (10) and Jaggy (7) had the biggest gains, and I won't embarrass the six people that were worse off by more than 10 points than if they had stuck to their original selections. You know who you are

I know why that was TA. I took a punt on Hannah getting up to around the 80s following the same trajectory as Coco. Unfortunately she fell well short and my sub was a bit better! Our juniors are really hampered by the demands of A levels and missed a lot of the grass season etc. however not knocking it. I am looking at Ella, to breakthrough next year. She was a really good junior and lovely to see her moving forward!

I am very surprised at such big gains and losses from subs, given folks' other 9 players should be unchanged. And the maximum a sub could score would be 10 and original player could have scored also 10 ( although if they were looking like getting any sort of decent score would you sub them? )

Maybe I'm missing something here??

SuperT · Futures level

I'm with you here Indi. The maximum you could gain would surely be 10 (how is 11 possible?)? One would no doubt swap out a zero counter but it would be a huge stroke of luck if your sub happened to slot in at the exact spot to score 5 for the GB ranking as well as getting 5 for predicting an accurate WTA ranking. I gained 4 from my sub and I thought that was pretty good going.

Yes, it does look a bit strange and I take your point. There is a slight error in my no-subs table which knocks a couple of points off some people, so the maximum gain or loss is actually 9 points.

Biggest gains were those who swapped out Hannah (0 points) for Marni.

I particularly still don't understand big losses.

A loss will be ( the points a player subbed out would have got ) - ( points won by the player subbed in )

OK, so further expanation. When I quickly did the additional spreadsheet to see what the differences would be I didn't update all the GB ranking positions so some of them were wrong. I should have spent an hour on doing it instead of 5 minutes.

No worries.

Can't trust folk not to read what you post but hey at least we do
