After our first try last week during Winston-Salem 2021 , we're going to keep using the new point scale for the ATP US Open and the WTA US Open.

If you don't remember the rule, please have a look to our article last week :the points scale is changed, to encourage and reward the risk takers !.

We received several comments and questions, so we decided to change one rule : the formula will now use the total number of picks, instead of only "the number of wrong picks on the opponent". The new formula is then :
BONUS = roundIndex * ( 1 - ( number of good picks / ( number of good picks + total number of picks ) ) )

To illustrate thhis with the same example, let's reuse the FO 2021 final between Djoko and Tsitsipas. The players who picked Djokovic would have now obtained :
7 + 7 * ( 1 - ( 3 / 58 ) ) = 7 + 6.64 = 13.64pts ! instead of 11.9pts with the previous version of the formula.
Please note that we use 58 players and not 67, because 9 among the 67 decided to join the challenger during the 2nd week of the FO .

Once again, please share your feedbacks and comments !
