Losing in an earlier round of a high
tournament may not give you as many points as getting to the semis in a lower
tournament. (NB: You
only get half the available points if you lose the first match that you
actually play – walkovers don’t count)

From the tables in the policy page you can
compare points

Group B – Tier 7 ) gives 1900 points

My daughter was 14's last
year and is 16's this year. How does the
system place her, i.e. the whole of last year she played 14s tournaments, and has
not played any 16s yet this year. Her
name doesn’t seem to appear in the Under 15's player points, however that list
does cover the last 12 months
~ All Ages have been 'rolled
forward' for this year, however all points are carried forward
~ She will NOT appear in the Under
15s listing for 2007 as she is no longer able to play Under 15s in 2007.
~ Her points are the same -
whichever report you use
