Jono,
Many thanks for the games and for updating the forum. It was a pleasure to play you, notwithstanding the scoreline.
All the best to both players for the final.
Mark

The final is live on apterous right now. Currently 2 games all, first to 6, so it's all to play for!

Congraulations to Kirk and commiserations to Jono then, revenge for CoLei has been exacted.
Overall I'm interested to know what people thought about the extended format with the increased number of games. Should I keep it like this for 2011? Should I bring it down to be closer to best-of-5 games? Should I take it even further and extend to, say, best-of-15 for the final (or even more)?

I really liked it, it's true matchplay. There are increasing numbers of tournaments which give mid-range players a chance to take on the big names, but the Masters should remain special and give the greatest probability of the best man winning. And I think that's exactly what happened here, so personally I wouldn't change a thing. An excellently run tournament, thanks and well done.

I liked the format as well, just the right number of games before I was completely mentally exhausted. Cheers for running it.

I really think the final should have been best of 5, and I think this ruling should be back-dated.

What about a darts style win-three-games-before-you-take-the-set format? And then first to, say, 23 sets?
