New points system

1) In tennis there is virtually always a full draw correct? Do you want to always round up to the next power of 2 for points purposes?
In most of the competitions there are seeds and they usually get a bye for the first round. I lifted the points system straight from tennis as they have been running this system successfully for a long time. It's simple for the fans to follow. If a bg player is lucky enough to get a bye then I would count it the same as a first round win.2) In tennis it is virtually always single elimination correct? Do you want to just ignore consolation and later brackets? What about Swiss tournaments?
Yes, tennis is always a single elimination (except the masters final). I certainly need advice from experienced players to advise on how points should be awarded for double elimination and consolation. I only really looked at the results from California State Championship 2013 which has a double elimination. As everyone who lost went into the second chance I could see that a player would have a round that the reached and could be awarded points.Consolations need to be considered. The California one had 32 players, so it could be a ranking competition, perhaps at the advanced level.
3) Why require a person to register to get points?
Registering solves the problem of several people with the same name going to competitions. By identifying themselves before hand I won't assign points incorrectly.Also, I won't be updating the records of people who are not interested. I don't have any automation on this yet and have to enter all the results by hand. I don't want this to be an unpaid full time job.
4) Something I don't know: Who decides if a competition is an Open? How is it decided if it is at Masters or Advanced level? Is there a difference?
