Up to early 2006, Gilles Simon was below the top 120. Now he's #10 in the world, and #8 in the Race. Good chance under this system he might never had done that in 3 seasons.

Even worse...how about Neps? 171 in January of this year, now 53. Guaranteed he would not have risen 120 ranking spots in one season with this in place.

I'm not certain how I feel about it yet. But I'm leaning toward not liking it. It invites good, but not top players, to tier down to chase points, rather than play the big events, I think.
