The reward is another match to get those things i guess.I don't like the way Fantasy Tennis doesn't compensate you if your player wins because your opponent retires mid-match. I have Busta in my team and he goes through because his opponent retired three games into the second set. You get points for aces, total games won, and straight sets victories - I miss out on those points now.
That is a very naive way of looking at things. You're not going to win the competition by advancing through the rounds because your opponent keeps retiring.The reward is another match to get those things.
I understand the scoring system is far from perfect and your argument about missing points is valid but I really don't know what the solution is. Scaling points based on how far into the match the withdrawal occurred is the only solution I can think of and that has its issues because it requires lots of assumptions. Do you have any ideas how they could improve the system?I don't like the way Fantasy Tennis doesn't compensate you if your player wins because your opponent retires mid-match.

You have 16 players in total. There's no need to name any players on the court. Simply your eight highest scorers should be the only ones that contribute towards your overall score.I understand the scoring system is far from perfect and your argument about missing points is valid but I really don't know what the solution is.

Again, it's not perfect.
Either that, or at least give a player who wins via a retirement the minimum points. They have won the game, so they should at least be given points as though they have won the minimum 18 games (for men) or 12 games (for women), unless of course those players have already won more games than that, then they should receive the minimum points necessary to give them full points for a victory.
I.e. A player who wins via retirement with the following scoreline:
6-4, 6-2, 5-7, 3-6, 1-0*
They have won a total of 21 games prior to their opponent retiring. They require another 5 games minimum to be won - at least give that player extra points for those five extra games. Afterall, a retiring is an official victory, so why can't they officially award points for having won an extra five games?
Same here, hopefully doesn't hurt us too much.With Bencic & Gasparyan withdrawing from next rounds matches I'm going to struggle big time. After trades I'll only have 4/8 players competing I think I made major errors with my starting team and will likely trade as hard as possible early to attempt to rectify them
The good news is that I seemed to have nailed a speculative bargain selection in Tennys Sandgren. The bad news is that he is sitting on my bench. I guess I wasn't to know a bloke who had only won 2 games in his whole life would explode at the AO but I can still complain right?
wow you picked Tennys! What a great pick up, I have never heard of this guy.
I have Nadal, Kerber and Berdych still going. The latter two are key players and the former is captain.
I had Fucsovics on the bench as well as Marterer
Great selection re Berdych. Real POD & I considered him a tad, just looked elsewhere in the end.
I've got remaining....
Nadal (c)
Grigor (20%)
Svitolina (20%)
Angie
Frustratingly I've had a couple players pull out of week 2 so had to use all my trades this week.
