Have you done any analysis of how the PPA points system compares to ATP or WTA? From our quick view of it at a high level, it looks like it is very difficult to accumulate points and catch up unless you basically win gold or silver. You don’t accumulate many points outside of those top spots, which makes it even more difficult to catch up for seeding. Would be curious if some kind of alteration in how points are awarded could be beneficial.
This was a great post. Have you considered doing a post on rating systems? I often hear people complaining about DUPR (some valid, some seem like misconceptions) but I have not really heard of better alternatives.
What is the effect when a seed #10-#12 withdraws late after the brackets have been posted? PPA puts a team from the qualifier into their spot - someone who presumably would be a minimum #28 seed. We've seen it happen several times.
Why not just use DUPR? I know you mentioned it as a possibility in the article.
