I forgot to get this going, but I'll take submissions up until the first day of the Australian Open (January 13).
I tired to simplify things from last year, but on review I like the rules I came up - as I said in that thread, they allow for different strategies.
*The season technically ends at the end of the Tour Finals, but I'll simplify this as end of November.
NOTE - the first three rows are not cumulative (for each player) - you get the best one of the three columns.
You can also pick three "wildcards" - players you get points for except for the first row.
To take an extreme example, let's say you pick Learner Tien to be #1. You get 3 points in the first row, 3 points from the second row, 3 points from the third row, and 2 points from third row (he turns 20 on December 2, after the YE rankings are finalized) = 11 points just for Tien. In contrast, if you pick Jannik Sinner to be #1 again, you get 3 points for him (just "#1 is correct").
You can adjust your list up until the first match of R128 of the 2025 Australian Open.
