Seems fair enough to just list the PoM successes or Slam titles that get players onto the PoS list.
An important thing is indeed as you indicate, that when it actually comes to the PoS vote, all players will be under consideration for what they achieve throughout the season, not just the PoM(s) or Slam titles that got them onto the PoS list in the first place - these are just part of their season stories.
1) That couldn't really be summarised until just before the PoS vote, and 2) I can understand a reluctance to attempt season summaries for all the contenders from a variety of tennis areas - eg. senior, junior, college, wheelchair, disability
I reckon that would be too much to ask of anyone. I think it's fine as is, leaving folk to their own thoughts and any research they wish to do. The only other possibility that comes to mind is whether if a number of folk would prefer season summaries, whether different forum members could do summaries for areas that they have more interest in and are fairly on top of?

Thanks Indy. Youve explained it much more clearly than I did!
Im sure we can work a plan. I did try and do it one year for PoS and it was hard work; I ended up just putting basic stats like ranking change, win / loss, and my concern was we would get different levels of narrative quality for 28 players that usually qualify for PoS! Some would do more work than others in putting their narrative together! If we can overcome that, we could make it work as a communal effort!
