Any more tournaments in the US this year....

...or are we ready to start thinking about the Giants vote?

In any case here are the criteria that I will apply for my vote:

50% Results in the past 2 years in international events.

25% ER as far as I know. 1 good match doesn't do it. 1 bad match doesn't ruin the picture.

15% Experience. With experience comes deep understanding of the game. If a player has been around the top for a long time chances are that he's still pretty damn strong. Players in this category are proven winners that are still active. It's enough to play a couple of tournaments pr. year to be considered active in my book.

10% Promise. Up and coming players will get a little credit if I think that they have the game to win international tournaments.

Based on the above criteria it's safe to assume that Mochy will score pretty well on my ballot. :-)
