The TOP25 on the 2020 Tour Race based on results from the finished and ongoing events so far:
Around 80 games have been finished since the last update, and so far a total of 959/3918. (These are approximate numbers because I register new players only once a month and the winnings of these new players are not counted by automation until that)
Tornado won the Final of the first Grand Slam of the year, and took the lead from the losing party, Jo Jo. Plus likely he qualified to the Tour Final 2021 too, because so far there have always been enough 2000 points for that. Congratulations on both!
Kurdistan grabbed the second place with impressive Masters and two 500 Series event finals. But he lost his first game on Biomes GS and didn't join to the second GS, which will be a big drawback if he wants to fight for the first places.
As I can see, in addition to Tornado, we have two more tournament winners, Adreso and MoD both won his 500 Series event finals, and scored 200 additional points, congrats!
So this is the live situation on 2020 Tour Race, but the journey is still very long (959/3918 finished games), stay with me and let’s see who will win the regular season and who will be the 16 fighters who will be able to fight for the 2021 AWP World Champion title! :)
Before October I basically only played Small Earth templates. :) Since joining the AWP tour, I've been learning fast. Lots of settings I haven't really used before in some of these, like multi-attack, army caps, and more.
I'll have to take a screenshot of when I sat on top of the rankings in the 2020 AWP tour race after one finished event. 11th overall as we come toward the end of April? I'll take it! :D
@tornado You are welcome, and congrats on your likely Tour Finals 2021 qualification ;)
@huddyj You are welcome. Your good performance is a surprise to me. Keep it up! ;)
@Viking1007 I haven't published this table, because this is only an auxiliary stuff, but why not :) So from now I will publish the google docs link too, so not only the TOP25 players will be visible. You will find these google docs links below the TOP25 images.
Around 54 games have been finished since the last update, and so far a total of 1013/3918. (These are approximate numbers because I register new players only once a month and the winnings of these new players are not counted by automation until that)
There aren't very many changes compared to last week, tornado increased his advantage a bit (with 70 points)
Two Ninjas, Rak and Hergul, is climbing to the top of the Ranking, already in 5th and 6th positions.
huddyj is in the TOP10 already with an additional 100 points.
and Buns appeared in the TOP25 :)

I have a question. How come only the best six results from the 500 and 250 tournaments are included? Most of the tournaments are 500 and 250 level. A player can technically play around 30 such tournaments in one season, right? I feel like Grand Slams and Masters are overemphasized this way. I assume you're doing it this way because it may be too much work to include all the tournaments in ranking calculations, in which case that's fine, I understand :)
A big reason to cap it is because otherwise your ranking suffers if you don't play most of the tournaments. By capping the number of 250/500 events that count you can then skip those 250/500 templates that you don't like w/o any penalty (which makes it more fun for the players who hate a bunch of templates but also want to do well, which is a lot of players I think).
@huddyj: I knew he uses the ATP ranking system, but I didn't know that's how ATP did it. I thought ATP rankings included all tournaments. I just checked and I can confirm that Ekstone, of course, is doing it the right way. There is one minor difference which, in my opinion, doesn't require any changes to the AWP ranking system since it may be too much additional work for Ekstone. In the ATP ranking system, every tournament out of the 'big 12' (4 Grand Slams and 8 Masters 1000s) that a player skips or doesn't play for whatever reason makes him eligible to have an additional 'small' (500s and 250s) tournament be counted towards his ranking. So if you only play 10 out of the 12 big tournaments, you can have 8 instead of the current 6 small tournaments be counted towards your ranking, which makes sense IMO. I'm not sure how difficult this is to implement for Ekstone, but if it's easy to do, I'd love to see it.
Around 72 games have been finished since the last update, and so far a total of 1085/3918. (These are approximate numbers because I register new players only once a month and the winnings of these new players are not counted by automation until that)
Jo Jo and Kurdistan swapped their places (2nd and 3rd)
Similar to the Lynxer movement above, Ninjas, Hergul and Rak swapped their places too (5th and 6th)
Octane and Terence Kill swapped as well in TOP10.
Guest moved from 20th to 12th with reaching a Masters semifinal
AI and ACL Tears appeared in the TOP25 while Buns and Reza slid down.
So this is the live situation on 2020 Tour Race, but the journey is still very long, stay with me and let’s see who will win the regular season and who will be the 16 fighters who will be able to fight for the 2021 AWP World Champion title! :)
Around 74 games have been finished since the last update, and so far a total of 1159/3918. (These are approximate numbers because I register new players only once a month and the winnings of these new players are not counted by automation until that)
As we agreed in the improvement thread, I will reduce the GS points (with 1500/2000 ratio) so those reduced GS points will be used starting from the next week update.
