After much consideration, I have decided to change the amount of points juniors earn for winning matches in singles and doubles.

I'd much rather implement these changes now, rather than halfway through a season or after more tournaments have been played.

A much simpler system of 1 point per win in singles and doubles will now be taken into effect, regardless of the event Grade.
It's a much easier system, and a more fairer system. With the previous creating a gap too big was created by the finalists, and they were pretty much a given to dominate events, and that meant more of a level playing field wasn't going to be possible.

Here is the new updated Points To Send list, after the AUS G1 event in Traralgon.

Regarding this week's event in Notting Hill, I will allow players 24 hours to change and/or alter their points accordingly to the chart above.

If you do not change points, I will subtract the difference evenly from your 3 sets.

I understand that this will mean the event will have to be played out for only 2 or so days, but in the long run, it's better to have these changes implemented now.

Thanks,
Paul :)
