benlessard Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 They should keep a record of Matchpoint/total MP possible. It would be like a rating and could be used for selection of strong pair events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Yeah, I would be happy with top 100 PP holders autoeligible. It would get dangerously close to an elite attendance criterium, only top players that go to a lot of nationals over a long period will be able to compete for the top 100 places. In the end I think the chosen criteria are about as good as anything. Double them and it is also seems fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycroft Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 No, Han, not just the top 100 PP holders; but putting the "no matter what you've done in the last [time], you have enough accumulated results you can play" barrier that high. I've said, and repeat, that the alternate criterion of 50PP/ last three years seems about right. But the auto-eligible-for-life list is already ~1000 players - as I said, and we haven't even had a game yet. Please note, it still is elite attendance, if you can't go to all three NABCs + your country's championship every year, you probably aren't going to pick up enough unless you're very good. OTOH, that's not that *bad* a criterion for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
