So, how do we add up the points?

Well, each player gets a point for every match they win. 

However, an unseeded player winning a match is much more impressive than a number 1 seed winning a match, so there’s also a bonus point system. 

Each player gets a bonus point when they win a match they weren’t expected to win. So, for example, as we don’t expect unseeded players to win matches, they get a bonus point for every match they win. 

Let’s take a look at exactly how the bonus point system works:

Seeds 1-4: These players are expected to reach the semi-finals (6th round) so for every match they win after this (semifinals, final) they will get a bonus point.

Seeds 5-8: These players are expected to reach the quarterfinals (5th round) so for every match they win after this (quarterfinals, semifinals, final) they will get a bonus point.

Seeds 9-16: These players are expected to reach the last-16 (4th round) so for every match they win after this they will get a bonus point.

Seeds 17-32: These players are expected to reach the last-32 (3rd round) so for every match they win after this they will get a bonus point.

Unseeded Players: Unseeded players get a bonus point for every match they win. 

Here’s a simplified version of this:

Seeds 1-8: Bonus from quarterfinals (5th round)

Seeds 9-16: Bonus from last-16 (4th round)

Seeds 17-32: Bonus from last-32 (3rd round)

Unseeded: Bonus point for all wins.
