Unsolicited advice— As you’re doing that, remember the scoring is per match. In these early rounds, you’re taking players whose stats are so good that they’re valuable in any format… as you keep going, the most valuable players are the ones who are going to play 4-5 sets regularly. E.g., a setter who has 9.5 a/s on a team that regularly goes to 4+ sets will get you more assists than a setter who has 11.5 a/s on a team that sweeps… same is true for most other categories with this per match scoring

Any reason(s) the scoring is per set/per match? I would have initially guessed the category totals for each week would be easier to determine the winners. |

Any reason(s) the scoring is per set/per match? I would have initially guessed the category totals for each week would be easier to determine the winners. If I understand your question, the reason is because the number of matches the players have isn’t uniform. If you just went off totals, then a player who had 3 matches would always beat the player who only had 2 matches. It has to be an average to account for that. As for the per set versus per match, it’s just a difference in scoring as between challengers and champions (among other things). I was skeptical of the per match scoring last year in challengers but ended up really liking it because it got me invested in lots of the middle-of-the-pack teams who often have fun upsets or are fighting for a berth in the tournament, etc. |

I really liked per match format, but, it seems most in the Champions league prefer per-set. The per match does add some random-ness, which I think is fun, but also could hurt teams that always sweep (or always get swept, lol).

This addresses my question. I appreciate it! Makes total sense. |
