5TH WORLD TANTRIX CHAMPIONSHIP 2002 - SEEDING POINT DIFFS
This page shows the matches in R1 ordered by the difference in seeding points between the two players, with the potentially
closest matches at the top and the potentially most one-sided matches at the bottom. The red names in bold are those who
upset the form book. You would expect to find more of them near the top of this list and very few near the bottom of the list.
If the difference is over 400, it is a big shock if the player with the most SPs goes out. Conversely, if SPs are within 200
points, the lower ranked player has a good chance of winning a short match if they play well - more info at bottom of page
Scores in green = the loser gave up or defaulted without playing the final game/s; Q = qualifier; L = lucky loser/late replacement

Where both SP totals are based on ESTABLISHED tournament Elo ratings, the projected TP %s can be found at:
Table of Elo rating differences v projected scores
NB. In the early rounds it is quite unusual for both players in a match to have established Elo ratings and even
when they do, the projected TP %s shown are expected averages over a very large number of games - matches
of only 5 games are subject to plenty of random variation, more than enough to keep things exciting!
