Those of us training/resting can now sit back and enjoy the competition.
Though I think Madeline and Angel are the big winners in the January registration.

Sydney 250 Quarterfinals
Dániel Vankó [3]

Are we allowed to change our national flag for the purpose of this game Balint i.e. can I represent a country other than UK/GB?

And with that, the first ever GBT match is finished!
... I'm just not sure if I should post them ASAP one by one. I don't mind to do it, I'm just wondering if that would make the thread a bit spammy.

I would suggest doing them to group – if not I agree it would be spammy

Seeing as though I got a bye in this one, am I classified as playing 1 match or 2 matches with regard to stamina?

1 match.
If you're against a bye, you don't play a match. If you're against someone who forgets to send the submission (=walkover), that counts as a match. If there is a tie and a redo is needed, that's still the same match. I think this covers everything.

Two days until the Semi-Final deadline.
You might start thinking about your February plans. Those who didn't play in January (10 with Matija joining), are all going to be ranked 13th, so your place in the tournament might depend on PM speed. Make backup plans to ensure you'll do something in February:
Tokyo Grand
Mexico City 250
Train Grass

GBT Season 1 January - Semi-Finals (part 1)
Martin Irla def. Quentin Rieg 3-2 (0-3, 5-4, 5-2, 5-1, 0-5)
Greg Tierney def. Jed Howorth 4-1 (5-4, 2-0, 1-6, 4-3, 3-2)
https://i.imgur.com/vz4NIde.png
The Doha 100 has reached its' final, Martin Irla provided strong mid-match performance to defeat Quentin Rieg, while Greg Tierney dominates his Semi-Final against Jed Howorth. Don't worry Jed, even if the lose looks demoralizing, there are far better things to come! Depending on the Kuala Lumpur 250, one of these tournament could crown the first ever GBT event winner.

I have a little suggestion... What about a "Davis Cup" at the end of the season (after december) ? It would be a tournament between the best-ranked manager of each country and it could be cool. What do you think about that ?

Not only this but a tournament for the different regions, such as a Commonwealth Games or a US Champs.

Davis Cup
Yes, definitely! But do you guys know about the rebranding of the Davis Cup? That's why I have two ideas in mind.
1. The old DC: starting in Season 2 but maybe even this season, all countries compete throughout the year. Round of 16 to be held in April, Quarterfinals in June, Semi-Finals in September and the Final in November. There is a host country drawn at random who decided the surface (grass or clay). There would be three matches, 1 point for the winner, 0,5 for a draw, most points win, one extra round if needed, then coinflip. Countries with multiple people could work together in a Quicktopic and decide who plays whom.
2. The new DC: after Season 1 and onwards, the sixteen best ranked countries' best ranked players compete in a bracket, on a pre-determined surface. This would be much similar to the year-ending GBT Finals though. But if you guys prefer this idea more, let me know and I'm more than happy to make place for it.
National / International tournaments
I didn't think of it originally but I can add it to the calendar if you fancy it. They would happen right after December, making the "off-season" two weeks long. (two weeks between December's final day and January's first day). Unsure about the exact competitions because I want everyone to fit somewhere. Either and UK or an Euro tourney, then one for Asia/Oceania, and of course the USA but Canada/LatinAmerica might have to join them.
Both events wouldn't be part of the tour, just separate tournaments with no stamina to lose but no ranking points to gain.
Also I'm glad this idea has blown the thread up (=4 new posts). Thoughts? :)

Hate, HATE, the new Davis Cup. Much prefer the world travelling version. The point that sold me was 'who on Earth would go watch Australia vs Argentina in Zurich?'
Would love to see the old style DC if we do implement it here.

Not sure about Davis Cup because in effect if everyone has unique flag then everyone can play
|
|
|
|
We can make it so that a minimum of two players represent a team (Central Europe, South America, etc...) but I see nothing wrong with most players being alone.
Actually... two player teams sounds like a fun requirement. In the irl Davis cup there is an additional level of strategy of who plays whom.

Like the idea of 4 teams of 5 - US, GB (an become Welsh, my homeland), Europe and Rest of World
Think that works out. Could be good to introduce a dooubles comp too, 2 players strategizing on wht to send

That's a good idea too! With 22 players at the moment, two of the teams would have a 6th player but only five could play at the time.
About doubles, my first thought was to have three matches on clay or grass court. It won't be possible for one player to play all three matches. 1 point for the winner, 0,5 for a draw, most points win, one extra round if needed (played by those who tied the original match), then coinflip.
I'm undecided about the format so let us know which one of these (from the last 10 posts or so) you like the most.

My thought on doubles was to have something like a quicktopic for the team to discuss, then each player submits like normal, with the 2 scores combined to make the whole.
5 players, 5 singles and 2 doubles ties with each player only allowed to play a maximum of 2 ties meaning you can't just pick the same doubles team for both ties (could have a strategy of a doubles specialist if there are 6 in the team)
Could make stamina a factor too, stamina rating of 2 for the cup tie, and lose 1 actual scoring point on the 2nd game played (maybe more than one).

I like how the doubles would work. And it's possible to cram into the schedule, just register with your partner, lose stamina and gain points like usual. (Not into the season 1 schedule probably but after that, surely)

The bigger the better! Seven matches should give the teams plenty to talk about.
About the Davis Cup stamina though, I really don't want to make it an event where you would lose stamina. Especially since I'm not planning on giving out points for Davis Cup results. This should rather be an event for glory in which everyone could participate even if they are low on stamina... unless I'm outspoken :)

My thinking was an independent stamina system where everyone starts at 2 points, losing one per tie played and impacting their performance just for the Davis Cup. May even the playing field a little

And what if you just simply aren't allowed to play more than twice?
Team A is the host and announces his first four matches' lineup.
Then Team B has the ability to react and nominate their players for the first three matches (knowing what Team A has announced).
Team B announces who will play on the last three matches. Then Team A reacts accordingly, both within the rules.
If the two teams are tied, the winner is who wins the last match (Match #6 if that's tied, etc...)
