I just wanted to see if anyone else came to the same conclusion when formulating the single elimination tournament draw sheet. According to the document, the second player drawn between the 7th and 8th seeds is to be placed in the #46 position (p.262). However, can anyone confirm that this is a mistake since he should be placed in position #49? If we were to follow the documentation, the number 8 seed in my case would play the number 3 seed in the second round...
Secondly, I was curious as to how we are supposed to count the round robin scorecard. Personally, I am inclined to interpret the result between A and C for example as a win for player C, by a score of 8-3. In this manner, I read the results from the columns as the number of games won against another player (from the left column). I am a little confused by how it is stated in the manual at page 290.
Thanks and hope all is well!

After looking through the Tennis Canada Rules of the Game at page 61, it confirms that the second drawn between the 7 and 8 seeds should be in the number 49 position in the draw.
ReplyDelete8th seed should be in #49.
ReplyDeleteHow many are the total number of seeded players in a draw of 64. I think that there can be 16 seeded players total. Is this correct?
For the Round Robin question:
Look at the column on the left, 'A' won 8 points against 'C' & 'C' won 3 points against 'A' therefore 'A' defeated 'C' 8-3.
Hope this is clear. If you have any questions let me know.

Hey Victor, if you check at page number 262 of the manual, you will see that the maximum number of seeds for the size of the draw (47) even if it is for a 64 draw size, is 12.
