We decided that it made sense to assign a value of 3 to each player that plays in the first game of a set because it is the most important.
For the record, you (Jesse) came up with some math that wasn't quite perfect but definitely on the right track, so I used excel to come up with what I posted above. lol

We are talking with you, through this forum so that everyone can provide their input. Although you'll make the final decision once we've got some viable alternatives figured out.
How did you do it before Chris? Did you assign values to the players depending on the importance of the games they played? Because if you did that already then we can use those values to make sure the other games don't also have a bias in them. It's the only way that I can think of to make the sheet even for all three players - as I showed mathematically with the doubles matches.
